Skip straight to the case: (9:41)
On July 15, 1986, Christopher Abeyta was around 7 months old. He fell asleep in his older sister’s arms and was carried to his crib, which was located three feet from the bed of his parents.
When his mother Bernice awoke the following morning, Christopher was nowhere to be seen. Now, almost 40 years later, no trace of Christopher has ever been found.
The Abeyta family are adamant that someone known to the family abducted Christopher. They have publicly named a woman as a suspect. This woman was having an affair with Christopher’s father Gil, and was known to have a history of mental health issues.
Could someone have abducted Christopher and raised him as their own? Or was the baby a victim of foul play?
