Christian Stephen Hammond was 31 when he was last seen by his mother in January 2021 in Tukwila, Washington. Family reports say he was dropped off at an airport in Albuquerque, New Mexico, intending to return to the Seattle/Tukwila area, but communication stopped after that; the last confirmed contact was a phone call with family on May 7, 2021. His sudden silence was out of character for a devoted father who had been active in a recovery program at Victory Outreach Church, played music on Sundays, and was studying to become an electrician.

In May 2021 a social media message surfaced suggesting he had been shot and killed, but that claim was unconfirmed. In January 2022 his white 2017 Ford Fusion was found abandoned in the 15800 block of 42nd Avenue South in Tukwila, reportedly filled with mold and mildew. The vehicle’s condition suggested it had been left unattended for some time but did not produce immediate leads.

The investigation remains active; law enforcement has circulated missing person flyers and is asking for public help. If anyone knew Christian’s movements after he left Albuquerque or has information about the Ford Fusion, please share what is known with authorities.
