Jimmy Fowlie, a writer for the iconic US comedy show Saturday Night Live, has made a public plea for assistance in locating his younger sister, who has been missing from Los Angeles for nearly a month. Christina Lynn Downer, 38, was last heard from in late November, with her family expressing deep concern for her safety.

"My sister has been missing and we are worried that she isn't safe," he wrote. He noted that while her married name is Downer, she might also use the surname Fowlie.
The writer urged his followers and the public to share the information widely. He provided key contact details, asking anyone with information to call the Los Angeles Police Department on 213-996-1800 and quote the case reference number 25237639. The poster confirms she was last seen in the LA area.
