Christopher Wayne Parton, 43, disappeared from his Cameron, Missouri, home in the early hours of October 23, 2024. He and his wife had gone to bed around 9:00 p.m.; when she woke at 4:00 a.m. for work he was gone. His keys and wallet were left on his dresser, and his cell phone was later found inside his truck. A text from his phone to his wife at midnight read love you Cheyenne and there has been no contact since.

Parton is described as a white male, 6 feet 1 inch, about 179 pounds, with graying hair and brown eyes. He has multiple tattoos, including Love near his temple, a small heart under his eye, and the names Konnor, Jaden, and Seriniti on his arm. At the time he was last seen he was believed to be wearing a black jacket with gray sleeves, faded blue jeans, and black shoes. He had a recent diagnosis of bipolar disorder and was seeking appropriate medication.

The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office is investigating and the case remains unsolved. If anyone saw Christopher on the night of October 22–23, 2024, or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward.
