- Christopher had 6 older brothers and
sisters. His Mom had not planned on having Christopher. But that
didn't mean she didn't want him. When she found out she was
pregnant, it was a surprise because her youngest was 15, but none
the less, she had a very easy pregnancy at her age of 42.
Christopher was adored by his whole family.
- Christopher's family were suspects, as is
the case with all abductions -- the family is looked at initially.
Unfortunately, the family feels that the initial investigators
failed Christopher miserably in the begining. The family cooperated
from Day 1. They agreed to take lie detector tests so as to
eliminate any suspicion the initial investigators may have about
the family , so they could investigate potenial leads and the
sightings that came in. Christopher's Mom failed a lie detector
test and the Family announced it to the media -- her Dr. had
prescribed her pills to cope and she was under heavy medication.
Unfortunately, not only was the family going through this hellish
nightmare of Christopher missing, but the Detectives were fixated
on the fact that the family had been involved. The family hired
their own private detectives to follow up on sightings, because it
became apparent that the initial investigators lacked the
experience to investigate this stranger abduction. His parents
never waived during this time, coping with this tradgedy and
devoted every waking minute to find Christopher. They knew time was
of the essense.
- A lake 3 blocks away was drained as
requested by the initial investigators. The Family felt this to be
a complete waste of time and resources. The investigators were
looking for a dead person. In the mean time, the kidnapper was
getting away with this crime.
- LATEST
NEWS...The family has made a request to the current
investigators to have an investigator go back to the beginning and
review all the initial case leads, sightings, and investigators
notes to see if something was missed. There are more investigative
tools today, then there were 20 years ago and the family would like
a review of Christopher's case. They anticipate hearing back from
the Police Department. They are optimistic that the current
investigators will take action.
- LATEST
NEWS...In 2006, it was announced that the Colorado Springs
Police Department accidentally destroyed the majority of
Christopher's evidence. The family is disappointed and can not
comprehend this negligence.
