Circumstances

Chris disappeared on September 3, 2007.  He was last seen leaving work at the subway restaurant and no one saw or heard from him again.  A valiant and relentless search for Chris began that day and ended when Rex Rushton came upon his vehicle while chasing his dog.  It appeared that Chris lost control of the vehicle he was driving and it went over the edge of a very steep drop off the edge of the road in Right Hand Canyon, approximately 7 miles from Cedar City, Utah on the night he disappeared.    It is truly a miracle to have found him at all.

 

It has been a long hard search for Chris but we never gave up the search nor did we give up hope that we would get answers. 

 

Blessings to the family and friends who have been touch by Chris' charm, wit, intelligence and presence.

 

You are and have been missed Chris !

 

Updates will be occurring frequently with notes from family and friends and a statements from family.
