Corine Christensen (1955^[1] – 1986) was a prostitute and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) student, who was murdered in California on November 3, 1986. ^[2] With her boyfriend, James Marino, she also supplied drugs to Richard Bandler, the co-developer of NLP. Christensen was the daughter of a San Francisco policeman.^[3]

Christensen was shot in the face at her townhouse in Capitola, near Santa Cruz, with a .357 Magnum owned by Bandler, and died of her wounds.^[3] On January 29, 1988, Bandler was acquitted by a jury, after 5½ hours of deliberation, of the murder. Marino, who testified he was present during the shooting, was not charged.^[4]

The case is officially unsolved.
