Christopher James Yanick, 62, of Knoxville, Tennessee, was last confirmed as having contact on February 21, 2024. His sister reported she had been unable to reach him, and a missing person investigation was opened by the Knoxville Police Department. Authorities issued a Silver Alert and asked the public for help.

He is described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, about 175 pounds, with gray or partially gray hair and brown eyes. Public information does not include his last known location, what he was wearing, or details about his state of mind when last seen, and those gaps have complicated efforts to establish a timeline.

The investigation is active; the Knoxville Police Department and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation are asking anyone with information to come forward. Did anyone in the Knoxville area see Christopher after February 21, 2024?
