Police investigated, but found no signs of a break-in. Because his parents had recently separated and were reconciling, and his mother failed lie detector tests (which she said were due to medication), they were initially considered suspects, but never charged.

A massive search, including draining a nearby lake, turned up nothing. Christopher’s family still believes he’s alive and doesn’t know he was abducted. They run a website trying to find him, focusing on Texas and New Mexico as possible locations.

Before he disappeared, the family received mysterious hang-up calls. The calls stopped when Christopher vanished, then started again later. Christopher’s sister suspects a woman named Emma Bradshaw, who had an affair with his father and a history of breaking into places. Bradshaw denies involvement, and police never named her a suspect, though she later won a lawsuit against Christopher’s sister.

Sadly, the police lost most of the evidence in the case, leading to accusations of a poor investigation. To this day, Christopher’s disappearance remains a mystery.
