Welcome back to the Murder Diaries podcast. I'm Paige.

0:23.7

And I'm Natalie. 29-year-old Crystal Risinger has been missing since July 13, 2016. Crystal had relocated to

0:32.6

Crestown, Colorado from Denver. She was looking for spiritual enlightenment, solace, and sobriety. She was absolutely

breakdown, Crystal became a ward of the state. She then relocated to Denver to live with her aunt.

Crystal's childhood was described by one of her ex-boyfriends as, quote, nightmareish.
