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 cannot even begin to think of what you're going through. I will definitely pray for you. Just remember that "all things work together for good for those who love God."

I'm still praying for your family.

I don't have the news we are all waiting for, but I do have some other good news. Yesterday was a very good day. Dave and I met with members of P.I.A.U. (Private Investigators Association of Utah). They called us a while back to "ask" us if they could help us find Chris. They do a service project every year and this year they have chosen to work on our case (just typing that brought tears to my eyes). They are a wonderful group of people that solicit donations on their own to help cover the costs of the investigation. They are all putting in their own time and not expecting us to pay for anything we can't. Our meeting was very positive. It lifted our spirits knowing that we are once again moving forward. It feels good to be doing something instead of just waiting. It continues to amaze me the goodness in others out there so willing to help a stranger. My prayers will be with them as they start their investigation. We also met with Fox news (our local Utah station) and did a small update interview. I'm not sure if it made it onto the news or not, we were driving home when the news would have been on. I still have not heard from Peoples Court. I'm going to guess that I probably never will. Thank you for your help in trying to find a copy of the show through back door ways. Something’s got to give! Last Friday we received a letter from the psychic that helped in the case of the missing guy that was in the same area that Chris has possibly been sighted in. This other guy was the one that was found around Christmas time, he had been shot in the head. The letter said that Chris was also shot in the head. That he was in a red, green and white blanket and in a shallow grave. He was near an old shed or barn with a gray fence. It said that he wanted to be found. It is still weird getting messages like that. We have received dozens, but it doesn't get any easier to think that this may be the outcome. We don't know if Chris is alive or dead, we do not know if he is safe or hurt. We do know that he is our son and needs to be found no matter what. We aren't letting ourselves dwell on what might be, we are still going forward with hope. So right now we are really excited to have this team of investigators so willing to reach out and help us. I'll let you know when something comes up. I appreciate you all sitting here waiting and searching with me. ~Shannon

That's great news about PIAU. I'm so glad you're still finding support out there from people who care and want to help! I'm wishing you all hope for the present and peace soon Shannon {{{Shannon}}}

Good news about PIAU!! Thank goodness for something positive. I can only imagine how hard it must be to get those type of letters. And going forward with hope is, I think, the best thing you can do. I know everyone here is hoping right along with you. May God's peace enfold you all.

I'm so glad there's a group searching for Chris! I know someone mentioned Texas Equisearch a long time ago. Did they ever try to get involved? I see them on the news all the time. I think they're currently looking for a missing pregnant woman from here in the Houston area. In this case, I hope the pyschic is wrong. Was she able to give you any insight as to where Chris might be? I hope she's just confusing him with the other case she worked and that Chris is found safe and sound. I still have hope for him everytime I think of the lead you had where the woman said he showed his passport as ID. In my mind, that had to have been Chris. (((Hugs)))

I am glad to hear that so many people are getting involved in the search effort. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless!

Really quick...I got an email today from People's Court asking us for our address so they can send us a copy of the tape from that day! It is great to have a couple of good days in a row! Thanks again for all for your love and prayers! ~Shannon
#993	jewelsmcblah	Mar 05 2008 01:02
Thank goodness! I hope PIAU and find some information. I'm so happy PC is sending a tape! That's two good updates in one day!
#994	undertherainbow	Mar 05 2008 02:17
What wonderful news Shannon! I hope for only the best with the PIAU and so happy that PC responded and are sending you a copy of the tape. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. (((hugs)))

Ahh, Shannon, it's so good to hear some good news! I'm so pleased that you've had two good things happen in a row; you really do deserve such good luck. My thoughts, as ever, are with you. I hope you have a (positive) outcome soon. Thanks so much for keeping us updated - the fact that you take time out of your hectic life to keep us updated really does mean a lot to us all.

Oh thank goodness the tape is coming through at last. That good news. Hoping and praying!!!

I really hope these last two days are a sign of what is to come. I am so glad Peoples Court is sending the tape. If it is him them whatever case is being heard may be of interest to him (friends or such). That would be such a great lead. Stay strong!
