Gay Saturday Night Live writer Jimmy Fowlie has revealed the case surrounding his sister, Christina Lynn Downer, has “officially transitioned from a missing person to a homicide investigation”.
In a post on Instagram, Fowlie gave details about the case surrounding his sister, who went missing four months ago. He said that, according to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), Downer is no longer alive.
He explained that it appears that Downer’s phone and social media were “compromised” a few weeks before she went missing. According to Fowlie, the person who took her phone then used it to hide his sister’s disappearance and to ask people for money via social media. The phone was also used to create the narrative that Downer was going “off the grid”.
Fowlie asked his followers to share his Instagram post in the hopes that it will prompt anyone with information about Downer’s disappearance to come forward and share it with the LAPD. He wrote: “Our prayers for her to be found safely have transformed into prayers for the truth to be revealed and for those responsible to be held accountable.”
As well as information about the ongoing case, Fowlie’s Instagram post included childhood and recent photos of his sister. He also wrote that he wants “to amplify her story in the only way I know how and to express that she was a beautiful person who matters in this world, especially to me.”
Fowlie has previously posted about his sister’s disappearance on Instagram, with a post shared in December, saying that she was last seen in the Koreatown area of Los Angeles. In this post, he wrote: “I heard from her on Nov 26th. She was active on social media up to Dec 15th.”
Christina Lynn Downer is a 38-year-old woman, approximately 120 pounds and 5’11” inches tall. She has dark brown hair and eyes.
Anyone with information relating to the case should contact the LAPD.
