Christopher Shane Sexton was 47 when he disappeared from the Guest River area of Wise County, Virginia, on July 31, 2019. He was described as white, about 5 feet 10 inches and 160 pounds.

After he vanished, there are no publicly reported sightings, phone calls, financial transactions, vehicle discoveries, or recoveries of personal property that explain his whereabouts. The rural, wooded mountains, waterways, isolated roads and former mining areas around Guest River create a large and difficult search environment, and records released online do not provide a clear investigative timeline or the scale of any search effort.

No public information identifies another person as a suspect, and no published evidence shows he was the victim of a crime; equally, the lack of explanation leaves open possibilities such as accident, medical emergency, voluntary departure, exposure in remote terrain, or foul play. If anyone knew Christopher’s plans, movements, or saw him in the Guest River area around July 31, 2019, please share what is known with the Wise County Sheriff’s Office.
