    In January of 2002, a group of four land surveyors were working in a lightly wooded area in Harris County Georgia. According to the crew, they were all walking in the same direction about 50 feet apart and carrying on conversation. A 20 year old named Christopher was last in the vertical line and the third person in line asked Christopher a question and got no answer. When he turned around he was gone. The search for Christopher provided confusing and concerning clues, but despite the direction those clues pointed in, law enforcement theories were – well, interesting, I’ll say.
    The GBI is investigating this case, and with a never-ending push from his family as well as civil-rights groups and activists, its time his case get answers.
