Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP6705) and 4 other sources
Christopher Jason Swan, a 4-year-old boy from Sidney, New York, went missing on November 11, 1981, near the Susquehanna River, only a short distance from his home. On the day of his disappearance, Christopher had been playing with his brother and another boy close to the riverbank. It is believed that Christopher may have fallen into the river from an embankment, but despite a comprehensive search by local authorities, including the use of boats and scuba divers, no trace of him was ever found.

Christopher was last seen wearing a blue quilted coat, brown pants, and possibly a black hat with a white stripe. Despite thorough search efforts by the community and various agencies, his body was never recovered, leading to uncertainty about whether he drowned or if something else may have occurred. His case remains unsolved to this day and is still listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs). Investigators continue to encourage anyone with information about his disappearance to come forward.
