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/

M3lody, You are so wonderful to take the extra initiative. Thank you. I am going to look and see what I can find and register for as well!

shannon, I am hindu, and ever time I light the diya (lamp) in front of God, I say a prayer for your son's safety return to you. God bless him!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you at this awful time and sending positive thoughts. I also received an e-mail about Chris at work and i'm in the UK. Word is definately being spread. xx

I'm sorry but I just don't understand what Chris being 18 has anything to do with anything! There was this 24 yr old woman Jennifer Kesse disappeared in Orlando, under similar circumstances they had her on America's Most Wanted and everything so I do not understand why you aren't getting the same type of recognition! It really pisses me off how is your situation any different?! Anyhow, I'm not going to start a debate over this. I know this is not about that. I just wish your family the best of luck in finding your son!! Oh and here is the link to that story: http://www.amw.com/missing_persons/case.cfm?id=37544

BUMP Shannon -- I can't imagine the pain you and your family are going through right now -- believe that you still have the support of the multitudes. Bless you

Dearest Friends, Thank you again for your kind words and help. You continue to amaze and uplift me. I don't have the number for the Kayenta (sp?) Police with me now, but I can get it and if you want to call and ask them if they have run the credit card yet, maybe they will get the hint. The bad news is that Wal-Mart already recorded over the tapes, so they aren't going to do us any good. Frusterated is an understatement. And on another bad note in one of the other areas that Chris was possibly seen in (or at least someone thinks that his blazer was in that area) another missing person was found dead. He was killed by a gunshot to the head. They have no idea why. It wasn't drug nor gang related. He was a missing person who has been missing for since October. I'm not sure if he has been dead since October or if he was killed just the other day. I'm sure we will get more details as they are released. The next few days are going to be hard. I am grateful for my belief in a higher power. That is how I am going to get through the rest of this year. I do hope that you have a wonderful Christmas and that you can find the joy and beauty in what is around you. Dave and I are trying to focus on what we do have, we know we are blessed even in our time of trials. I pray that you too are blessed this season. ~Shannon

Happy X-mas!

((((Merry Christmas))) I was really praying that he would contact you just to say Merry Christams to his family.

Another candle has been lit for you and your family Shannon. I continue to hope for some light in your tunnel. I understand how dark it must be right now. You and your family will continue to stay in my thoughts.

Merry christmas!!!
#794	p0nda	Dec 26 2007 05:02
My thoughts are with you and Chris today Shannon. I hope your year ends better than it has been these last few months, with him back in your arms. Merry Christmas, for what it is worth.
#795	daizymae	Dec 26 2007 19:16
Shannon ~ still keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. I sincerely hope this new year brings positive news to you and your family. I lit another candle for you.
#796	m3lody	Dec 26 2007 23:35
My heart is with you. We need to do more! I'll call the police and ask! There is power in numbers and there are a great number of people watching and hoping and praying through this thread. I'm a bit saddened that I dont see more links to four corner area forums. Perhaps after the holidays ya'll have more time. This could be a member of your family, or a friend. Lets band together!
#797	ballerinanina	Dec 27 2007 03:54
I am soooo sorry about your son! I hope you find him, and he's ok. I will pray for you, your family, and your son!

I'm sorry I don't have much time. But I wanted to check in. We had a nice few days on the beach, and Santa found us in a motel room. It was nice to get away for a while and try to relax. Christmas was still really hard. It is probably a good thing we have the other kids to keep us from loosing ourselves in this. The number for the Kayenta police station is 928-697-5600. It is officer Key that told us he would run the credit card number (that was in October). I don't really have much else to say today. This whole week is going to be wierd for us. Thank you for your prayers and concern. It is nice knowing that others are out there pulling for you. ~Shannon

Shannon -- you and your family continue to occupy my thoughts. You have an internal strength that I truly admire. I pray that Chris contacts you soon

Shannon, I am thinking of you and your family today. I lit a candle for you today and I hope others will do the same. http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi =cc
