Christa Helm Secret Love Diary Lead To Her Murder!!

Christa Helm, an aspiring Hollywood actress, was murdered on Feb. 12, 1977, when she was stabbed and bludgeoned outside her agent's home in West Hollywood.Christa enjoyed the Hollywood life and parties, and according to her daughter hung out with lots of famous people, like Joe Namath, Mick Jagger, Warren Beatty and even the Shah of Iran.But as correspondent Maureen Maher reports, Christa also kept a "love diary," as well as tape recordings of her encounters with the rich and famous. Did the diary and recordings play a role in her murder? Or was she just a victim of a random crime? Investigators are still trying to solve the mystery.After more than 30 years, Christa's daughter hopes a fresh look by police will finally crack this case and bring the killer to justice.

She had a charisma that was just overwhelming. She had warmth that made people drawn to her on a regular basis. She was powerful and strong and took no bull…she was a very complicated, beautiful human being," remembers Christa's daughter Nicole, who doesn't want 48 Hours to mention her last name or reveal where she lives because her mother’s killer has never been caught.And, says Nicole, her mother was born to be a star. "From the time she was a little girl, she would dance and sing and tell everyone she was gonna be a movie star when she grew up, and of course in little Milwaukee Wis., no one believed her."

Smart, sexy and stunningly beautiful, Christa was the classic small town girl with a big Hollywood dream. She was determined to become a star and she had the energy and unyielding ambition to make it happen. "We had a saying between the two of us, 'All's fair in love and war' and she lived by those words. Nothing would really stop her from getting what she wanted," remembers Christa's longtime friend Darlene Thoresen.
