According to police records, Chrissy Powell was discovered dead inside her car on Saturday, July 23, 2022 in San Antonio. More than two weeks after going missing while en route to work, her body was discovered.
The mother-of-two allegedly left her San Antonio house in a hurry on July 5 because she was running late for work. She never did make it to her office though, which was fifteen minutes away from her home. Next day, her mother filed a missing person’s report. Since Powell had left her phone at home, no one could get in touch with her.
Around 6:45 p.m. on Saturday, the 39-year-body old’s was discovered in the front passenger seat of her 2020 Nissan Rogue vehicle.
In the San Antonio Huebner Oka Center parking lot, a security officer spotted her vehicle. The car, according to him, had been there for about a week. He hadn’t noticed anything strange until there was a “foul odour” while the car’s windows were rolled up.
Powell’s handbag and her identifying papers, according to the police, were all in her possession. According to the San Antonio Police Department, Christina Powell’s body had no visible evidence of exterior damage. An autopsy is being performed by the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s office to ascertain Christina Powell’s cause of death.
Chrissy Powell: Who was she? Friends and relatives of Texas mom are devastated by her mysterious demise
The oldest son and mother of 39-year-old paralegal Christina Powell reside in Texas. She was employed by Sanchez and Wilson, a San Antonio law firm. On June 27, Powell started working there on a temporary basis; however, a few days later, he received an offer for a full-time post.
Powell was “on time and hardworking,” according to Mark Sanchez, the managing partner at Sanchez and Wilson. Added him:
During that brief period, “she never arrived at work in any role other than wanting to work and being ready for work.”
Powell’s mother thought she was a dedicated parent who wouldn’t purposefully abandon her kids at the same time. She was regarded as a kind and intelligent lady by her friends and family.
During her last conversation with her daughter, Mobley mentioned the following:

“We didn’t really have any lengthy discussions. Basically, it said, “Good morning.” She told me she was running late. Then, when she was heading out for work, I advised her to use caution. I’m sure I also told her, “I love you.””
It’s also important to point out that despite Powell’s tense relationship with the father of her children—her ex-boyfriend—police did not consider him a person of interest.
One of Christina Powell’s coworkers decided to visit her at her Red Hill Place residence on July 5 after she failed to arrive for work that day. But it turned out that Christina had actually left the house with the purpose of going to work, as the coworker discovered.
Powell’s death is the subject of ongoing investigations.
