33-year-old Christopher H. Bridgeman Jr. was last seen during a visitation with his 6-year-old son at Martian Way Hotel in Thurston County, Washington. He said told his son he was going to go see his father, and Christopher never returned to the motel. He was last seen sometime in Jan. of 1963.
His children had thought that Christopher had left to go try and start a career in country music. He was a budding country singer who had a hit song playing on local radio at the time. In 2004 a cousin asked the family if it was possible Christopher's father killed him and buried him in the basement. His drivers license for the time he disappeared had shown up in his father's possession.
His father had told the family he spent two weeks every year to search for Christopher on the west coast. He claimed he had also filed missing person reports, but no one could confirm that he had. The basement had been searched and nothing was found but animal bones. The house was unstable at the time and Law enforcement had a limited time to search.
He's a white male and 33 years old. He's 5'10" and 160 lbs. He has brown hair and his eye color is unknown.
