I can’t begin to express my gratitude, my feelings, my laughs and my tears that all you who have posted here have allowed me to feel and experience.

I learned something new tonight; this is an emoticon that means “Big Hug”; and it is meant for all of you >:ALL<

Thank you so much!

She was something special. Did she ever shake your hand? I taught her about how important it was to make a good first impression. She and I would practice shaking hands. She had good firm grip. I was so impressed by her. A little girl who had the confidence to walk up to, introduce herself, and shake the hand of adults. You could just tell she was headed for something great.

Christa’s mother and I put those flyers out all over the place. We were just hoping that someone might know something.

Thank you for writing. I am glad you got to know her. I can tell because you are right; she was one of a kind, smart as a whip, and very wise beyond her years.

I am sorry that we were not able to meet while I was in Seattle. I Love talking about Christa. If you are inclined, and have a Facebook account, I set up a Page for Christa before coming to Seattle. You can access it and become a fan of Christa at: http://facebook.com/ChristaSilverii

Again, thank you for writing.

Christa’s Dad

Once my Baby’s murder dropped off of the police radar, I started my own investigation. I was labeled a “vengeful” father by the police. Even though it was not t rue, I could understand why people did not want to “talk” to me after that. In trying to find someone to help I came across information about the Cold Case Cowboys. Only problem was they only worked cases in Douglas County, Oregon. I did find information about other retired investigators how would take on a cold case. I guess it comes down to the success rate of solving a case. I have been told that the odds of solving arson are almost next to zero. Not good odds to offer someone in joining your search for justice. I guess I can’t blame them.

Christa’s mother survived the fire that was started on August 2, 1987. She did suffer burns on both of her shins and both of her forearms. She was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. In 1990, she and I moved back in with each other. We were under the impression that we could help each other because of the common loss we shared. We were wrong. The last time we spoke to each other was on December 18th, 1999.

Don’t cry. I am happy for you. If your daughter has not moved into the “Why?” stage yet, you have a lot to look forward to. :-) I remember when Christa started “Why?” Christa, the sky is blue – Why? Christa, today is Saturday – Why? Christa, this is a rock – Why? I am laughing right now…thank you! You take care too.

Thank you, your words bring comfort. In my heart of heart I know there is someone who knows who started this fire that killed my Baby. I know him by name. His refusal to speak the truth tears my soul apart. If you pray, pray that he learns God's lesson.

I remember the day she was killed like it was yesterday. It was the news of the day, in the papers and on TV…people knew of her death. I had hope that her killer would be found. Then next day another news story replaced hers; and the next day another, and another. My heart screamed, “Please don’t forget about my Baby!” Then it became apparent that the police no longer had the resources to put on my Baby’s case. It is now called a “Cold Case.” I silently scream everything I think of those words.
