It’s been exactly three weeks since an eastern Kentucky woman was found dead in the woods in Knott County, now investigators are saying 34-year-old Christina Barnett was murdered.
Christina Barnett’s family already knew she was murdered because her sister found her body burned under a pile of trash. Still, they say this update means they’re closer to finding Christina’s killer.

“That was my baby girl and somebody took her life, and that somebody will pay. It’s a motivation unlike any other… a pain pushing a mother to find the truth,” said Barnett’s mother, Donna Hale. “She didn’t deserve to die, she didn’t deserve to be left in a garbage heap, so the least I can do for my daughter is seek justice.”
Justice for Christina. She would have turned 35 last week, but instead of celebrating her birthday, her mother is searching for answers.
“She didn’t crawl in that dump and put a TV on top of herself, it was obvious she was murdered,” Hale said.
Investigators believe the same. Cristina went missing exactly one month ago after she went out with a man she met online. The next day, her mother knew something was wrong
“Horrible, horrible pain, the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life,” she said.
Through heart wrenching pain the family relentlessly searched. Then, a week later, Christina’s sister found her body off Highway 80 near Hindman.
“It’s a nightmare,” Hale said. “She was just a wonderful person that deserved to live, not have her life cut short like this.”
A life of a woman family says had a beautiful soul. A loving daughter, sister, and aunt who won’t be forgotten by a family who won’t ever let go.
“[I would] tell her how much I love her and how much I miss her, and how I am going to seek justice for her. I won’t stop until we get justice for Christina,” Hale said.
Christina was last seen alive on Sept. 18 with a man at a gas station near where her body was found.
If anyone has information about this case, they are asked to call Kentucky State Police.
