SNL writer issues plea for help after his sister vanishes: ‘This is not like her’

A Saturday Night Live writer has pleaded for his followers to help him find his sister, who has been missing since late November.

Jimmy Fowlie posted on his Instagram that his sister, Christina Fowlie, was uncontactable and missing.

“My sister is still missing. This is not like her, she’s never gone off the grid like this,” he said.

“Me and my friends have been posting her flyer around Koreatown.

“Someone has seen her or knows something.”

The comedian began circulating posters drawing attention to his 38-year-old sister’s case last Monday. He said Christina was last seen in the Koreatown section of Los Angeles and has not been active on social media since December 15.

Fowlie last heard from her on November 26.

“At this time the detectives have advised us not to share certain details so we don’t compromise the case. Thank you to everyone who has gotten the word out. I’ll share updates as I get them,” he said in an Instagram post.

Fowlie rose to fame when he produced Go-Go Boy Interrupted – an LGBT-themed comedy web series based on his live sketch comedy show of the same name.

The actor also co-wrote and performed in the one-woman Off-Broadway show So Long Boulder City, based on the fictional show created by Emma Stone’s character, Mia Dolan, in the 2016 film La La Land.

In 2022, Fowlie was hired as a writer for Saturday Night Live at the beginning of the 48th season.

Other SNL cast members, including Bowen Yang and Sarah Sherman, have shared the missing person report.
