  1. Investigation Timeline and Arrests: Christina Downer was reported missing on December 18, 2025, after her ex-husband requested a welfare check. Following the discovery of her cellphone on Santa Monica Beach, the LAPD's Robbery-Homicide Division took over the case, ultimately arresting Delorean Bijon Brandon (her boyfriend) and Kaylee Nicole Markowski on October 29, 2026.
  2. Evidence of Concealment: Investigators allege that the suspects intentionally misled authorities by claiming Downer had moved out, leaving behind all personal belongings including her car and dog. Family members, including her brother Jimmy Fowlie, had previously expressed concerns that her phone and social media accounts were compromised to create a false narrative that she had gone 'off the grid.'
