Christopher Ray Douthat was 24 when he disappeared from Roanoke, Virginia, on October 25, 2013. That morning his mother drove him to his roofing job; he cashed his paycheck at a Kroger about 3:30 p.m., was dropped at Chap’s Tavern around 4:30 p.m., and planned to meet a female friend at a Food Lion parking lot at 5:00 p.m. He never arrived for that ride. Phone data placed him near Garden City Boulevard and Riverland Road shortly before 5 p.m., and some patrons at Chap’s Tavern later reported seeing him there until about 8:00 p.m. He was last seen wearing a dark-colored sweatshirt, khaki pants, white shoes, and a brown ball cap.

He is white, with brown hair, blue eyes, and a tribal symbol tattoo on his right bicep. In the months before he went missing Christopher experienced several traumatic events: a home invasion assault in February 2013 in which he testified against one assailant; the loss of an infant son in August 2013; the end of his relationship and an ensuing custody dispute; and an order of protection with a court hearing scheduled three days after he vanished. Authorities have not publicly tied his disappearance to the assault case. The family put up billboards and flyers seeking his return.

Does anyone who was in Roanoke on October 25, 2013 remember seeing Christopher or his car that afternoon or evening?
