Christopher Allen Zahl, 43, was last seen in Holmdel, New Jersey, on May 12, 1994. His car was found abandoned the next day at the Red Bank train station with his wallet, credit cards, and eyeglasses inside, but no sign of Zahl. The vehicle had been wiped clean of fingerprints, a detail investigators noted as suspicious.

At the time he went missing Zahl was described as a white male, brown hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 9 inches tall, about 200 pounds, with a scar on his right knee. Investigators have long considered the possibility of foul play. Reports of a heated family dispute over the family tree farm and an allegation that his brother told police Zahl was growing marijuana on the property have surfaced; the brother has not been charged. An unverified report also suggested a possible affair involving the wife of Zahl’s best friend.

No arrests have been made. Dental records, DNA, and fingerprints are in national databases and the Holmdel Police Department remains the investigating agency. If anyone knew Christopher, his movements in May 1994, or has information about the family dispute or the train-station abandonment, please contact Holmdel police.
