Christopher James Hoye, 33, vanished from his family’s farm in Dixon, Missouri, on the morning of May 19, 2022. His wife Alysha heard his truck start while milking goats but when she returned he was gone; his wallet, cell phone, and computer were left at home. A few hours later his truck was found abandoned near the Veterans Bridge off Highway 28 by the Gasconade River with the keys inside.

Search teams including the Missouri State Highway Patrol water division and a cadaver dog combed the area. The dog tracked a scent from the truck to Highway 28 where the trail stopped, suggesting he may have entered another vehicle. A cigarette butt in the truck proved to be DNA from an unidentified male not in CODIS. Police say there is no evidence of foul play, and the investigation remains active with few concrete leads.

If anyone saw Christopher, his vehicle that morning, or has information about an unknown man linked to the truck, please contact the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department.
