In 2018, they released a picture of what Christopher might look like at thirty-two years old based on family photos.
Now thirty-six years later, though, the Abeyta family has never gained closure, and Christopher might still be out there unknowing of his true identity.
Following Christopher’s disappearance, his parents, Bernice and Gil, created a website to raise awareness about their son’s case.
And later, a Facebook page was created in 2009 with the same mission. There, the Abeyta family described a person they believe is responsible for Christopher’s disappearance.
According to the Abeytas, a woman named Emma Bradshaw had been having an affair with Gil, Christopher’s father.
And the night that Christopher vanished from his crib was the first night that Gil spent the evening back at home with his family following a brief separation from Bernice– Christopher’s mother.

“She [Emma] was the last person to attempt to contact him just hours before Christopher was kidnapped. Emma Bradshaw missed work the day Christopher disappeared,” the Abeyta family continued.
They also detailed how Emma’s name was given to the CSPD. However, the family claims that she was not investigated as a person of interest.
So, the search for Christopher has continued– even though his parents will sadly never get to see him again. In 2017, Bernice died of cancer.
