Investigators are combing an area in Marshall in hopes of finding any clues related to the disappearance of a 43-year-old Kilgore woman.
Christina Rea Davison has been missing from her home in the 500 block of Elder Road since Saturday morning.
Kilgore Detective Trae Portwood said Wednesday that Davison’s purse was found near Loop 390 in Marshall at about 7:30 a.m. Saturday by Marshall police, but there has been no sign of Davison or her black 1990s model Toyota Camry.

“We did a ground search with Marshall Police Department on Tuesday,” Portwood said. “We found personal items in the general area where the purse was found but not sure if they are connected to (Davison).”
Portwood said Davison was reported missing Saturday morning by her co-workers at Whataburger in the 100 block of N. Henderson Boulevard.
“She should have been at Whataburger at 7 a.m., but by 8:30 a.m. she was still missing,” he said. “She was normally 30 minutes early. She had a very good work history with that employer.”
Harrison County Administrative Deputy Jay Webb said authorities performed a search Saturday afternoon at a property on Roy Green Road but found no sign of the missing woman.
“The ex-husband has a house here in Harrison County, and we searched the house and did not find any evidence of anything,” Webb said. “He is being cooperative and told us he didn’t even know she was missing.”
Kilgore resident Melodie Addy, a co-worker of Davison’s, said she last saw the woman at 9 p.m. Friday.
“She had come and eaten supper with us and left about 9 p.m,” Addy said. “We were supposed to come to work together at 7 a.m. Saturday morning, and when I got here, she was not here. That was unusual.”
Addy said Davison did appear to be troubled by something Friday night but did not tell her anything.
“We became good friends and did a lot of stuff together, but she didn’t talk a whole lot about what was going on. I really just don’t know,” she said.
Addy said she went to Davison’s home after becoming concerned but did not find any sign of her.
“When I went to her house, the door was open and the television was on,” Addy said. “But her car wasn’t there. I’m hoping she just got spooked and left.”
Portwood said Kilgore police have not classified Davison’s disappearance as a criminal investigation but said investigators did find forensic evidence that is being evaluated.
“There was no sign of forced entry,” he said. “Ninety-five percent of the time, a missing person shows up, and there is a good explanation for them being gone. But there has not been any contact with her since 9:30 p.m. Friday night. She needs to let somebody know if she’s out there and OK.”
Davison’s car has a temporary license plate tag and two broken door handles on the rear driver and passenger doors.
“We’re not sure if she has registered her vehicle,” he said. “There is no evidence that she has titled this vehicle, but we do know it was bought very recently.”
