EDIT: Chris went missing September 3rd 2007, here is a link to his web site, please let everyone you know know about this. Thank you. www.FindChris.org I'm crying as I'm typing, so please overlook all typos...I'm really not all here. Our son, who turned 18 last month, has been missing now for 76 hours. He went to work Monday, left work and no one has heard from him nor seen him since. He wasn't having any problems with us, Sunday we all were together and had a great time. He wasn't having any problems with his girlfriend. He did have a bad day at work and we are guessing he went off on a drive too cool down, but we really don't know. He didn't say anything to anybody about where he was going. He was in a hurry to get to work that day and left his wallet home. So he has no money on him nor any access to money. We were able to get into his bank account today and there hasn't been any unusual activity in the last month. We have called everyone he knows and no one knows anything. His girlfriend has called everyone she can think of too. This is so out of character for him. He has never done anything like this before. The police are involved and doing all they can. Two different aerial searches were done today and tomorrow there is a ground search going on with volunteers and the police department. He has been listed as a missing person in all 50 states along with a description of his blazer. The police department made up fliers for us to put around town. The top of it says "Missing Person, Suspicious Circumstances". This is so unreal. This is something that happens on TV, not in real life. The roller coaster of emotions is beyond imagination. The possibilities of what has happened to him and where he might be are endless. To the East of us is a canyon, to the West is desert hills. He could be anywhere. Not knowing anything is the worst. My husband and our other children are hitting their limits too. Our home is crazy is an understatement. We have had lots of friends and family offer love and support. Meals have been brought in for three days. Our phones are ringing off the hook with well wishers and everyone wondering what they can do. I'm sorry for going on and on, I just want to cover all the bases, but I'm sure I've missed some things. Prayers are definitely welcome. Mostly I'm still in shock. I'm not sure I'll be back on the site for a while. I will post as soon as we know anything. Please everyone take care, and go hug your kids... EDIT: Here is a link to the news paper artical. http://www.thespectrum.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/200709 07/NEWS01/709070304 I tried uploading the flier but it didn't happen, I'm not sure why. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. It does help to know that people care. EDIT: I took a picture of the flier and added it to my pictures EDIT: Here is a link to the web site http://www.findchris.org/

I loved the site too! Chris looks like such a sweet boy and my heart is heavy for you all every time I look at those pictures and realize that that is your baby out there even if he is 18. It seems that I am in prayer all the time for your family because so little time passes in my day where I do not think of the agony that this must be. I cried so hard last night and asked God to bless Chris and keep him and guide him safely home soon!!! And to help you all through this and for..... smarter cops.... does that sound silly! That is what the Lord told me to pray for so I did.... and I know it will happen! God Bless and Keep you Shannon and Family and of course Chris!

...I just want him home... If I'm going through the DABDA steps then I have hit anger. I know our emotions are high and everything is extreme so I'm trying really hard not to scream at everyone for everything that is going wrong. I could slap the DA for dragging his feet, I could go ballistic at the media for how they are and are not covering our story, and I would really like to tell off the people who feel close enough to us to make sure we know that this may not end happy, that there is a chance he is already gone. No duh! We really aren't that stupid, but why should we start to prepare ourselves when we still have leads and reason to hope? I know most people mean well, but there are something?s we really don't need to hear right now. Of course we know our chances, and every day that we don't hear from him increase the chance that he is gone, we know this, why do people feel the need to remind us? Thanks for letting me vent, frustrated is an understatement. As odd as it may sound there is an underlying feeling of Peace. I know that is because of all the prayers being offered in our behalf. I know that no matter where Chris is he would want us to be happy. If he is on the other side or if he is just off on some joy ride I know he doesn't want us to be going through all of this. I also know that no matter where Chris is that God is taking care of him as He is taking care of us. Thank you all for keeping this tread going, it's a great place for me to come and feel that peace and your support. I'm grateful I have a place to express my feelings and to hear of your love. Thank you! I'll try to get back tonight after the candle light vigil, maybe I'll get a chance to post more pictures. If not then I'll be back tomorrow morning. ~Shannon

I just happend to find this and said a prayer for your son. My kids are my life and I have had a couple of nights where they fell asleep at a friend's house and did not come home. So I headed out after them to make sure everything was okay. Of course it was but that feeling of driving down the road, wondering if I was going to find them in the ditch or something. Extremely difficult and scary. I could not imagine all the emtions you are stuggling through. My prayers are with your family and you son. I pray God will bring him back to you soon and he will have some goofy explanation for all of this. We have seen it in the news where others have done this and let people think they were missing. I am not saying that is what your son is doing but let's hope it is something like that instead of some other options. We love our kids no matter what. As long as he is safe. People say things becasue they think they are helping. I would love to help but the only thing I can do is pray. Pray does change things. Just keep doing your best to find you son and keep hopes high!!

I just saw this thread, have looked at a lot of the links and wanted to let you know that Chris and your family are in my prayers. What a difficult situation. I hope he returns safely.

Shannon I sent an email to tips@findchris.org about an idea I have to get Chris' story out to lots more people. Let me know what you think. For those curious, I belong to a very large forum with a large user base of people that live for being internet detectives. I have seen them track down people in hours. I don't want to offer false hope, but it's an idea.
#208	angelab75	Sep 19 2007 18:37
You feel free to vent Shannon! You are most certainly entitled! And you are right not to lose hope! Spirochete...... the more exposure the better. It certainly could not hurt! Maybe that would answer my prayer for "smarter cops" or detectives or whatever! People don't just disappear into thin air! So I know there has to be someone out there somewhere that can find Chris! We are still hanging on to hope out here with you Shannon! Come in and talk anytime you need to!
#209	kazrinya	Sep 19 2007 19:56
im still thinking about you. dont give up hope! good luck tonight at the candle service!

Here's our newest hope! There has been another sighting of his blazer in Logan (No. Utah). The guy that called it in even matched up the stickers in the back window. The Logan police are checking on it now. My heart is racing and my fingers are crossed. This emotional roller coaster is going to kill me. I'll let you know as soon as we know anything. Thanks again to everyone for everything! ~Shannon
#211	missy81	Sep 19 2007 20:12

#212	jr5757	Sep 19 2007 20:19
You just posted that info. I've been watching this link and praying, but didn't have words to express how I feel. Now I too praying for an aha moment for an officer so that your Dear One will be in contact soon.
#213	lilborykuamami	Sep 19 2007 20:20

#216	anewdawn	Sep 19 2007 20:59
I pray that this lead will be the one that brings your son home! Just in case I will cross my fingers and toes as well - I cannot even imagine what you are going through now - maybe just tell your friends that all you need is someone to hold your hand and cry with you and listen....advice while well intentioned...your just not ready for. {{{Hugs}}}
