Cristina’s husband, family and friends have continued to cooperate with law enforcement. Coordinated efforts between Vancouver Police Department, Portland Police Bureau, and West Linn Police Department have been made to advance the investigation and locate Ase.
Police and Cristina’s loved ones urge anyone who knows Cristina or has had contact with her within the weeks leading up to her disappearance, to contact Detective Nicholson at Jason.nicholson@cityofvancouver.us or Sergeant Ballou at Julie.ballou@cityofvancouver.us.
