Christopher Abeyta

Seven-month-old Christopher was last seen on July 15, 1986 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. His parents put him to bed at midnight and found his crib empty in the morning. Their garage door opener was missing and a basement window was open.

At 6:30 a.m., his parents contacted the police. The arriving officers couldn't find any signs of forced entry, but the front door was unlocked on the night of Christopher's disappearance.

Members of Christopher's family initially seemed like potential suspects in his case. His parents had separated prior to his disappearance, but they were reconciling and the night of their son's disappearance was the first night that his father had spent in the home since the separation.

Christopher's mother failed two polygraph exams, which she attributed to a withdrawal from tranquilizers. Authorities haven't cleared either of Christopher's parents of involvement in the case or charged them in connection with it.

Three weeks after he vanished, they drained Quail Lake (located three blocks from the family's home) to search for his body, but they recovered nothing.

Christopher's family member refuse to consider him deceased. They believe he and his guardians don't know he's an abducted child. His loved ones operate a site featuring information about his case. Texas and New Mexico top the list of his possible locations.

According to the website, the family had been receiving hang-up phone calls for about six months before Christopher disappeared. The calls stopped when he vanished & then resumed again several months later.

Christopher's sister believes the abductor was Emma Bradshaw, a woman who had an affair with his father and had a history of break-ins.

Bradshaw maintains her innocence in the baby's disappearance and the police have not named her as a suspect. In 2015, Bradshaw won a civil judgement for $150,000 against Christopher's sister for interfering with her employment.

Some time after Christopher's disappearance, the Colorado Springs Police Department destroyed most of the case evidence; his family accused them of negligence and incompetence in their investigation.

As of 2019, Christopher's disappearance remains unsolved.
