Christian Maldonado was 27 when he left his Camden, New Jersey home at 266 South 27th Street on the evening of December 28, 2002, for a night out in Philadelphia with his cousin George Velez. The cousins drove a blue 1992 Toyota. Maldonado is described as a Hispanic male with a medium build, light complexion, black hair and black eyes, with a dragon tattoo on his left arm and often wearing a gold chain with a cross.

Neither man returned that night and both were never heard from again. Police recovered the blue Toyota on April 23, 2003, in a Philadelphia junkyard after it had been towed from the 500 block of Clearfield Street, but that recovery produced no immediate breakthroughs. The circumstances of how the car came to be left on a Philadelphia street and why both men disappeared remain unresolved. The case is classified as endangered missing and remains open with the Camden County Police Department.

Did anyone in Camden or Philadelphia see Christian or the blue Toyota around December 28, 2002?
