While in her 20s and 30s, Cape Cod native Christa Worthington built a successful career in fashion journalism. She rubbed elbows with elite designers, wrote editorials for widely-respected publications like Cosmopolitan, and cycled through high fashion cities like Paris and London. Still, she felt a profound absence in her life that couldn’t be satisfied by any career advancement. As she turned 40, Christa realized she wanted to be a mother. When her daughter Ava was born, it was as amazing as she envisioned. In a cruel twist of fate, Christa’s joy was abruptly cut short. The events that unfolded on January 4th, 2002 would rip away the life she had carefully contrived, leaving behind a trail of utter devastation. This case brings up questions that aren’t easily answered and almost 20 years later, it’s still difficult to determine the truth.
