Christopher Alan Temple was 17 when he disappeared from the Bath Township area of Lansing, Michigan, on April 22, 1990. He was last seen around 9:00 p.m. walking away from a campfire during an Earth Day outing at a recreational area and never returned. At the time he was about five feet seven inches, 130 pounds, with brown hair, hazel eyes, and wearing contact lenses, a black rock‑band T‑shirt, blue jeans and a faded denim jacket.

Friends initially assumed he had stepped away for privacy; a search by the group and law enforcement with canine teams and helicopters produced no sign of him. A single weathered sneaker was found about 300 yards from the campsite roughly 18 months later in an area that had been searched before. Investigators later considered possible foul play, including an unconfirmed theory tying his disappearance to selling drugs, but no confirmed location or resolution has been reported.

If anyone was at the Rose Lake Recreation Area that night or has information about Christopher’s movements after 9:00 p.m., please come forward with what you remember.
