Missing Son, Prayers Please shanfood
  Sep 07 2007 07:30
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.

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...

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

Still thinking about you. I really hope he comes home soon. This is getting so tiring for us to wait for his return, I can't imagine how you and your family feel.

Still thinking of you. Let us know how things are going as soon as you feel up to it.

This is the first time I've been to this site in a while, and the first time I've heard of your search for your son. I can't begin to imagine how much pain you and your family are going through.

I noticed that in the earlier posts there was some concern that he might have contacts in Texas. Have you had any more information to this end? I live in North Richland Hills, and I'd be more than willing to put up fliers in Fort Worth, Arlington, and other areas if you think it would be helpful.

My heart goes out to you and you and Chris will be in my thoughts.

Still thinking of you everyday.

Still thinking of you Shannon.

I'm sorry this has to be so short, I really am pressed for time. I just got the tape and will watch it to see if it is Chris. I'll let you know.

Dave has taken a real drop off the deep end. The depression is hitting him harder now then it ever has. There are other things besides Chris missing, and when you add them all together, it really is more then one (or two) should be able to handle.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers. I'm sorry I don't have more to say right now. Please know that I think of you all and am grateful for your friendship.

I'll add an extra prayer for Dave tonight.

You are all in my thoughts.

Shannon I am sososo sorry that Dave is struggling so much as I am sure you all are. You said there were other things missing. I pray those things dont lead down a dark path. I'm sure it feels as if it couldnt get any darker. I hope the end is in site for you soon so that you may all heal from this nightmare ordeal. You and your family is in my thoughts, always.
