The family of a man who disappeared two years ago is enlisting the services of a private investigator to unravel the mystery behind his vanishing act. They are determined to find answers and avoid their loved one becoming just a statistic.
Chris Harper, then 37, went missing in November 2024 from Burlington, Vermont, and has not been seen since his last known location at a residence. Despite the lack of sightings, his family clings to hope while grappling with the possibility of the worst outcome.
In a bid to locate Chris, his mother, Sandy Harper, 66, has put up a $5,000 reward for any information leading to his discovery. Entrusting a private investigator with the task, they are hopeful that this professional can provide closure that has eluded them for so long.
Sandy expressed the immense pain and turmoil that comes with a child’s disappearance, describing the profound impact on her spirit, soul, and heart. Despite making multiple trips to Burlington in search of Chris, the family remains steadfast in their quest for answers.
Chris, an avid outdoorsman with a passion for music, had moved to Burlington 18 months before he went missing. His close bond with his mother was evident through their daily interactions, with Chris always checking in with her before and after work.
Having battled alcohol addiction in the past, Chris had sought treatment and was transitioning to a more stable living environment before his disappearance. His family recalls his positive demeanor leading up to his vanishing, indicating a shift towards a brighter future.
Despite their relentless efforts, including collaboration with detectives and extensive searches in various locations, Chris remains missing. The family’s perseverance in keeping his case in the spotlight reflects their unwavering determination to find him.
A fundraiser was held in Morrisville, Vermont, on June 6 to support ongoing search efforts for Chris. The family’s message to him, if he is out there, is one of love, longing, and hope for a reunion.
To support the search for Chris, donations can be made via the GoFundMe link provided. The family’s plea remains simple yet profound: to find their missing loved one and bring him back home.
