Christopher Lee Stewart, 36, was last seen the night of August 17, 2003, outside his apartment near the 600 block of 18th Street in Des Moines and has not been heard from since. He reportedly had bipolar disorder and had stopped taking his medication several weeks before he vanished. His disappearance was reported on August 19 and is classified as endangered because of his medical condition.

At the time he was last seen Stewart wore glasses with dark brown frames and a Timex watch with a leather band; his head was shaved and his ears were pierced. Local police and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation investigated but few details have emerged, and his family and friends remain without answers.
