You are missing the point. All of this in search of vanity non-sense is just that - non-sense! What does it leave you with in the end? Not much. As with any addiction, the true dope is the addict. We squander real opportunities to be with family. Consider the dad that abandoned Christa's daughter, if still alive, I bet he would fall all over himself to have his daughter and grandchildren in his life. He, like many who have done the same before and after, likely look back and regret not nurturing those precious relationships. I bet there are a lot of old folks in nursing homes or homeless and in the streets, that foresook family and loved ones in pursuit of a dream turned nightmare which now left them as vacuole as the Mammoth Cave. No one can see the future. No one ever sees himself or herself as being old, no longer pretty, no longer sexy or the life of the party - until that day when he or she awakens and realizes that there is no one there to appreciate them for who or what they are. The moral here is get a crystal ball and look into it. Take it to the nursing home or old folks bingo and imagine yourself as the senior citizen with the hearing aid and walker and see your destiny.
Then go back home and re-commit your love to your family, wife, husband, children and hopefully your faith. You still may have a lot of living to do. Now is the time to capitalize on the relationships that will sustain you for the rest of your life and generations to come. Do not waste another minute of your life being less than sober. Don't regret in the future something that you can fix NOW.

It really scares me that the media can destroy someone''s character in a 45 minute expose as they have to Patty Collins''s. Where is Patty? She could be a mother and wife with a family and be completely innocent of these allogations from these ''less than trusted'' individuals. Who are these people? Who are they to try and convict someone without evidence!!! The police should be ashamed. They are only interested in publicity, it seems to me. Why would Patty come forward after such a damaging program?

I hope she has a good attorney who sues them for everything they have!

Our country is in real trouble when we give credence to such shabby reporting as 48 Hours has hosted!

WHY ARE POLICE NOT LOOKING INTO CRISTA''S SISTER? THEY SAY THAT IT WAS SOMEONE THAT WAS VERY UPSET WITH HER. A CRIME OF PASSION. WELL, JUST FROM WATCHING THE SISTER''S INTERVIEW YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH SHE RESENTED CRISTA FOR THROWING HER OUT. TAKING AWAY HER CHANCE AT THE "GLAMOROUS" LIFESTYLE. I DON''T BELIEVE THAT CRISTA WAS MAD BECAUSE THESE GUYS WERE CALLING HER SISTER BEHIND HER BACK. SHE SAYS SHE GOT ALL THE ATTENTION, YET CRISTA WAS THE ONE IN MOVIES, ON T.V., AND IN THE PUBLIC EYE. MY OPINION IS THAT THEY NEED TO SPEND SOME TIME ON THAT.

Just think today, if Christa were alive, she would have had her own reality show exploiting her lifestyle of decadence. She was thirty years ahead of her time.

I can understand why her daughter wants closure on this murder, after all, Christa is her mother. She seems to have turned out pretty well.

It sounds like Christa wasn''t a particularly nice person and even her sister didn''t seem that sad that she passed.

There has to be more to this story than your program alluded to.

There are stars out here who have probably done what Christa did to get to the top, but they were slick enough to not provoke someone that dangerous.

A sad story and it just goes to show, that you reap what you sow.

Thats pretty sad that some of these comments are basically saying that she deserved to be murdered because she was promiscuous. So what she was exploring her sexuality at a time that was less open to this kind of behavior? Or did she deserve to be murdered because she left her daughter with a loving trustworthy person? It would have been far worse for her to either bring her daughter with her on these escpades, give her up for adoption, or let her dream of being famous die - which really sounds like the most reasonable descion?

They still have no match on the DNA found under Christa''s fingernail. It belongs to a woman. Her former lover Patty Collins is alive, but missing. I think she murdered Christa in a jealous rage and then left town.
What is a Mystery "is" what that actor from "The Sopranos" knows or doesn''t. Was he hired to go to Christa''s residence in Los Angeles to retrieve specific items including those "*** Cassette Tapes"?
Remember, her "Diary" was taken from Christa''s dead body.
Sad. The Hollywood "party girl" got in too deep with too many low-life''s. She was a lover of men, women and used them to get "ahead." She even threw her sister out on the street because Movie Stars liked her more. It''s a Mystery.

Was she perfect, no. But then, who among us is.

Some of the folks that have commented want to condemn her for working in Hollywood and leaving Nicole in a loving home environment and sending support, but if you condemn her for that then you are willing to condemn every parent that doesn''t live with their kids or every parent who''s children live with grandparents or at a boarding school.

She knew that Hollywood wasn''t the place to raise a baby girl. You would have preferred that she drag her along? People like Joe would have criticized that as well.

She made some good choices and some bad choices. She didn''t deserve to be murdered and her murderer deserves to be held responsible.

Wow! I''m not sure I would want that story told if that was my mother. What a selfish woman to treat her daughter, sister, friends, & lovers so disrespectfully. She still didn''t deserve to be killed of course. Very sad life and death.
