Christopher Everett Preuitt, 35, was reported missing after a planned camping and canoeing trip on the Missouri River near Tadpole Island. Last heard from on March 22, 2017, Preuitt’s gold 2000 Mazda 626 was later found abandoned near the river at Huntsdale. Search teams, including the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s air and water units, located a campsite across the river on Tadpole Island in Moniteau County and found items believed to be his, but Preuitt himself was not located despite foot and water searches.

A family man married to Gerrin and father to a five-month-old son, Dawes, Preuitt was described as an avid outdoorsman who often retreated to the river with his dogs. Authorities suspended the official search after available resources were exhausted and the case remains open. His family believes he likely drowned, but without further evidence his disappearance is classified as a lost/injured missing person case.

If anyone was on or near Tadpole Island or the Missouri River around March 22, 2017, does anything about that day stand out?
