Chris and his friends went to a house party on Allison Avenue and had a lot to drink that night. He passed out for a bit and took his sneakers and glasses off and put his phone down. After about an hour or so, he got up again (didn't put his shoes or glasses back on and left his phone) and continued hanging out with his friends during the party. Then, he ended up outside with one of his friends and they went to another house the next street over (on Wellington avenue) Chris got sick over there and then wanted to go home and his friend wanted to go back to the party. Chris was intoxicated and he didn't realize he left his shoes at the party so his friend loan him a pair of flip flops to walk home and said he'll find his shoes the next day. The last time Chris was seen by his friend was outside the party where they split up. His friend went back to the party and Chris said he was walking home.....but didn't. This was around 2:00am and it should have only taken less than 20 minutes to walk home.
Then at approximately 5:30am, a witness saw someone walking on the Upper Abougajne road as he was driving to work. He thought it was strange for someone to be walking into that road at that hour. He then turned around and headed back towards his house and passed by him again. He was carrying 2 long sticks. The driver slowed down as he passed by him and tried to see what he was carrying (he thought that maybe they were bolt cutters). The driver then pulled in his driveway, shut off his vehicle and called the police. Then while waiting for the police (approximately 45 minutes) He seen him again still walking, still in the same direction into the woods. He was carrying white reflective driveway markers while walking. Once the police arrived, the witness gave them the description and direction he went and then headed back off to work. No one else was seen and no other vehicles were driving by. The distance and time frame show that he walked that whole way into the woods.
When Chris was officially reported missing and the news broke, the witness went out on his own to try to find him because he was sure it was Chris he saw that morning. The witness and another local man are the ones who found the flip flops. This was a couple of days after. The flip flops were confirmed by Chris' friend to be the ones he gave him that night. The footprints in the mud are Chris' foot size and the prints went towards the hay field off of White Birch Road. Dogs were brought in and couldn't track his scent anymore. The search was focused on the Tantramar River by the hay field. Divers didn't find anything of Chris' in the water and the search was called off but we continue to search the woods.!
