Christopher John Partridge, 33, was last seen at his Hartsville, South Carolina, home on the evening of March 24, 1983. He was described as 5 feet 8 inches, about 160 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a beard and mustache. That night he reportedly left to meet an unidentified person about a business arrangement and never returned.

His truck was later found abandoned behind a local motel with blood and a fragment of a bullet in the back seat; the keys were still in the vehicle. Christopher’s wallet was discovered about a mile from the motel, in the middle of a highway. Those discoveries led investigators to treat his disappearance as suspicious, and the Darlington County Sheriff’s Office has kept the case open.

No confirmed sighting or whereabouts have been reported since March 24, 1983. Does anyone who lived in Hartsville in 1983 remember unusual activity near the motel that spring or know the person Christopher was planning to meet?
