Local girls focus of ‘Most Wanted’

Friday, Aug. 1, 1997 | 10:47 a.m.

Two Las Vegas girls missing since April when they were dropped off at a public library will be profiled in Saturday's broadcast of "America's Most Wanted."

The syndicated television show will also profile the children's natural father, Hector Christian, who is currently being investigated in connection with the children's disappearance and as a possible child molestation suspect, according to Metro Police Lt. Craig Klatt.

Investigators have recently developed leads that Klatt said are helping them get closer to obtaining an arrest warrant for Christian on charges of first-degree kidnapping and felony violation of child custody.

Tina Thompson, 6, and Elizabeth Christian, 14, were dropped off at the Las Vegas Library, 833 Las Vegas Blvd. North, about 11 a.m. April 19. Their mother, Pamela Christian, never saw them again.

Anyone knowing the whereabouts of the children or Hector Christian can notify Secret Witness at 385-5555, Nevada Child Seekers at 458-7009 or Detective Todd Rosenberg at 229-3561.
