Christy Lyn Garrard, also known as Christy Morrison, was last seen on Roden Avenue in a white pickup around 9:00 a.m. with a male friend with whom she had spent the night with at his home. The friend states that he took Christy to her aunt's house, but Christy was never seen by any family members at her aunt's house.
Christy was divorced and described as a free spirit who went her own way. She was the mother of two children whom she loved and always made sure they were cared for.
Christy often stayed with friends and relatives but always called her parents every few days. She called and talked to her son just two days before she disappeared, telling him she would be back the next day and they would go bowling. But Christy never showed up, and after no word from her for a week, her parents called the police.
In January 1999, a 16-year-old DeKalb County boy told Boaz police and DeKalb County authorities that he knew where she was killed. Authorities searched an area near Cross Creek in the Aroney community of DeKalb County but they determined the boy was lying. The following November, authorities acting on a tip, searched in the Point of Pines community near Guntersville but failed to find anything.
