A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are unknown. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2 to 5 percent of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. A number of organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and images of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.

According to current statistics, 4,000 people in the United States go missing every day. Sometimes a child suddenly vanishes from the bus stop or the local park or even from their own yard or bedroom. Or a teenager doesn�t return home after a walk to the neighborhood grocery store or a bike ride or a party with friends. Other times, an adult is mysteriously absent from their job or neighbors haven�t seen them for several days, and family and friends haven�t heard from them either.

Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian male. Brown hair, blue eyes. Hallaxs has a brown beard and mustache. His hair is thinning on top and long on the sides. He is nearsighted and wears contact lenses. Hallaxs's nicknames are Chris and ShadowStrider.
Details of Disappearance Hallaxs was last seen at a BP Gas Station in Paradise, Michigan. He purchased soda and snack foods and told the clerk he was going camping. He has never been heard from again. An extensive search of the area turned up no sign of Hallaxs, only his snowshoe tracks, leading for miles into a thick, tangled swamp.
Hallaxs is an avid hiker and outdoorsman who frequently traveled alone and off-trail in the northern woods, particularly Lake Superior State Forest, and enjoys solitude.
He traveled light and could live off the land when his provisions run low. He kept caches of supplies and equipment in various locations, and he's been known to create well-camouflaged encampments with simple lean-tos in remote areas of the woods.
At the time of his disappearance, Hallaxs may have been carrying the following items:
A bandless watch attached to his belt with cord
Wooden Alaskan-style 56-inch Iverson snowshoes with neoprene laces
An olive-colored nylon backpack with shoulder straps, two or three keys on a leather lanyard
A USB drive on a leather lanyard around his neck, a pocketknife
A silver Gerber multitool in a black nylon pouch
A bowie knife in a stiff black nylon sheath with a snapped retention strap and a wide nylon strap around his lower thigh
A high-quality compass
Strike-anywhere kitchen matches in a black film canister
A plastic disposable butane lighter, a flint striker, homemade fire starters made of wax-covered cardboard
A homemade whistle made from copper tubing
A candle
An aluminum AAA-battery LED light on a leather lanyard around his neck
A homemade seven- to eight-foot walking stick made of debarked and polished wood
Various small waterproof snap-closure plastic boxes
One or two aluminum carabiners on the belt loops on the front of his pants
Hallaxs was born in Battle Creek, Michigan. He graduated from Bellevue Community Schools in Bellevue, Michigan, then attended Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. He never married and worked at a variety of jobs over his life, preferring the night shift.
Some people theorize Hallaxs may still be alive and hiding in the woods. His remains unsolved.
