Christopher Michael Cray was 23 when he was last seen on May 20, 2014, near the Schnucks grocery store at 1801 Missouri Boulevard in Jefferson City, Missouri. He was described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches, about 135 pounds, with brown hair, pierced ears and a neck tattoo. At the time he was reportedly wearing a green shirt, jeans, a baseball cap and sunglasses.

Authorities said he may have been traveling toward Belle, Missouri, in a white Ford Crown Victoria and may have been with several other people. That vehicle was recovered abandoned in Jefferson City on May 26, 2014, but Christopher was not with it. Police later focused significant searches at the local Allied Waste landfill and by July 1, 2014 were treating his disappearance as a homicide investigation based on evidence they cited, though his body was not found.

Two men were arrested on related charges in 2014, and later reporting said those particular charges were no longer pending. Christopher’s family described the shock and ongoing pain of his unexplained disappearance and the belief he had been killed despite no body being recovered. If anyone knew Christopher, saw the Crown Victoria, or has information about his movements on May 20, 2014, please come forward.
