Christopher E. Barnes was last seen in Fairfax County, Virginia, on February 21, 1997. He was 46 at the time, described as a white male, 6 feet tall, about 200 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes, long hair and a beard.

Very little else is publicly known about his last movements or the circumstances of that day. The Fairfax County Police Department handled the investigation, but few details were released and the case went largely unreported in the media. Christopher’s disappearance was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System on June 21, 2020, more than two decades after he vanished.

His fate remains unknown and the case is cold. Does anyone in Fairfax County from the 1990s remember Christopher or have information about where he lived, worked, or spent his time?
