Something was going on wirh him. He looked despondent in some of the pics. He told his wife he didn’t want to homestead anymore. Sightings don’t mean much with no follow up. People see what they want to see. Prayers for him and his family.
It was his ex girlfriend she was in Missouri the day he disappeared she is the only one who had anything to gain it was her, I’m 100%
If he was spotted turning into the gas station, why didnt anyone go back to the gas station and request video surveillance.
He is a missing person so cops would have been able to obtain this.
Being a successful man and loosing everything he had worked so hard for and loosing it all during COVID no doubt took him down so low. He may have felt he couldn’t do his life the way it was any longer. This is just my thought on his disappearance, I think he is still alive maybe under a different name. He may have felt that his family would be better off if he left the picture. There are people who steal the identity of deceased people and will sell them to others who want to escape their own life circumstances. I know this because my daughter got a new one before she was murdered. I only hope that his wife and kids can get some answers soon. Just so sad !
These “disappearing acts” seem to show up in Alaska, it’s easy to get lost there, so far away. A homestead requires getting up at 3 AM to take car of animals, not up at 6 to have coffee and fool around on a quad. Too big a bullet for this guy to chew, child support to 2 wives etc. I hope he is found, he’ll slip up somewhere and his DNA will do the trick.
I think the same vehicle that had been driving by at night honking and harassing them and then threatened to burn their place down probably drove by, Chris saw them and not wanting to miss this opportunity he wasnt worried about grabbing his wallet or phone so he jumped in his truck to follow them maybe try to get the plate number or confront them. I know if it were me I would have already had a plan to solve that little problem. I’m not gonna let some piece of crap harass me like that constantly then threaten violence that could effect my family!? Not happening. Personally I would have ambushed them and ended it. He may have followed the vehicle into that dirt road by the bridge. Either it was a trap or he was simply overpowered and forced into their vehicle. Which would mean the worst obviously but it makes the most sense to me. There’s a lot of bad actors in Missouri. It could have very well been friends of the exes new husband who had been doing the harassing. The fact that Chris’ ex knew he was missing and just happened to be in town at that time probablynot a coincidence, typical mistakes made by most criminals who aren’t intelligent enough to not leave behind such obvious clues to their criminal behavior. Doesn’t say much about the level of competence of local law enforcement though. Maybe the police have already figured this out and not talking about it cause they can’t prove it yet. That’s probably wishful thinking though. Its more likely the police around there just don’t take on the tougher cases that actually involves real detective level investigative abilities and the steadfastness to see it through. They like the slam dunk cases where the main suspect is living in the same house as the victim. Lazy incompetent cops love those cases.
Good logic!!
