Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP59884) and 8 other sources
Christopher Michael Dietterick, a 41-year-old man from Elkton, Maryland, was last seen on May 31, 2019. At the time of his disappearance, Christopher was homeless and facing severe medical conditions, including melanoma, for which he had been undergoing treatment. He also had health issues that caused his skin to appear jaundiced. His family became concerned after learning he had missed a crucial cancer treatment appointment in Baltimore on June 5, 2019.

Christopher had no vehicle, bank accounts, or credit cards that could be tracked, and his phone was turned off when he was reported missing, making it difficult to trace his movements. He was last known to be in the Elkton area, and his family continues to seek answers regarding his disappearance. He had distinctive features, including a scar from a tumor removal on his left calf, a scar from a chemo port on his right chest, and several tattoos, such as the San Diego Chargers logo on his left shoulder and a misspelled "Pearl Jam" tattoo on his calf.

Despite searches and investigations, no solid leads have surfaced, and his case remains unsolved. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Elkton Police Department.
