ANTHONY HAS FOLLOWED TIPS AS FAR AS EL PASO, TEXAS, LOOKING FOR HIS SON, EVEN WALKING THE MOUNTAINS NEAR TOWN. I’VE CHECKED WELLS. I’VE CHECKED HUMPS IN THE GROUND FOR GRAVES I HAVE CHECKED. I HAVE WALKED THE MOUNTAINS UP AND DOWN. MOVING FORWARD, THE FAMILY SAYS THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DO WHAT THEY CAN TO FIND HIM. IN RETURN, THEY HOPE MORE PEOPLE WILL REACH OUT WITH ANY INFORMATION ON CHRISTOPHER. JUST LEAVE A NOTE ON OUR CAR OR SOMETHING. JUST HOW SERIOUS? BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO BE LAID TO REST AND WE NEED TO PROPERLY GRIEVE AND NOT JUST BE IN FIGHT OR FLIGHT MODE ALL THE TIME.
