Christopher Bird was 25 when he disappeared from Windham, New Hampshire, on July 29, 1984. He was last seen by a friend at D&Q Stables; accounts say he went to a friend’s home to borrow a ladder around 3:00 p.m. that day and was not heard from again.

On August 3, 1984, Christopher’s tan 1974 Mercury Comet was found abandoned at the Methuen Mall in Methuen, Massachusetts with both rear tires flat. New Hampshire authorities have described the circumstances as highly suspicious, and court documents cited by reporting stated there was probable cause to believe Christopher was likely deceased and likely murdered, though no charges have been filed in the disappearance. Investigators have publicly connected Richard Brunt to the case as someone believed to be involved or possibly connected; Brunt later died. Christopher’s remains have not been reported recovered, and he is listed as a missing person (NamUs MP38217).

If anyone knew Christopher, his movements that day, or saw the Mercury Comet after July 29, please contact the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit or New Hampshire State Police with information.
