Cody Robert Christle was 20 when he was last seen in Hinckley, Minnesota, in the late afternoon of May 12, 2014. He had been at a relative’s home, was seen at the Hinckley Grand Casino shortly before he disappeared, and then left on foot and did not return. Authorities have classified him as an endangered missing person.

Descriptions vary slightly: Cody was a white male between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing about 145 to 150 pounds, with medium-length brown hair, brown eyes, and some facial stubble. A large chest scar from prior open-heart surgery and distinctive jewelry — five large rings (one with an eagle) and a three-inch gold cross necklace — are notable identifiers. He required daily medication that he did not have with him when he vanished. Reports differ about his clothing that day, listing items including a brown jacket and orange cap or a red or brown t-shirt with a blue jean fleece-lined jacket, light blue jeans, and white-and-black Nike sneakers.

The circumstances — leaving family, a stop at the casino, then disappearing on foot — remain unexplained and continue to trouble his family and the community. Anyone who saw Cody in Hinckley on May 12, 2014, or who has information about his whereabouts is asked to come forward.
