Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP3857) and 5 other sources
In May of 2008, a 25-year-old man named Christopher 'Chris' Cochron made a phone call to his family in Washington, letting them know he was in Phoenix, Arizona. This would be the last time his loved ones would ever hear from him. Christopher, a white male with brown hair and blue eyes, stood around 5'9' and weighed approximately 150 to 170 pounds. His appearance was distinguished by several piercings, including his ears and tongue, and a multitude of tattoos. These included a cross on his upper left arm, a skateboarder on the right side of his back, the word '100%' on his right chest, and a genie on his upper right arm, in addition to a smiley face on his left arm. He also had a scar on his left elbow and another on an unknown finger on his right hand.

At the time of his disappearance, Christopher was facing personal challenges. He lived with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and dyslexia, which affected his ability to read and write. His family has shared that he may have been involved in selling drugs around the time he went missing. He grew up in Shelton, Washington, and what brought him to Phoenix remains one of the unanswered questions in his case. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are sparse, leaving his family with few clues to follow. The Phoenix Police Department opened an investigation into his case, but the limited information has made their search incredibly difficult.

Years have passed since Christopher Cochron's last contact with his family, and his case has grown cold. Despite the passage of time, the search for answers continues. His information is listed in national databases for missing persons, a constant, silent plea for any information that might shed light on his whereabouts. The overview of this case is one of profound uncertainty. A young man, far from his Washington home, vanished from the bustling city of Phoenix without a trace. The reasons for his presence in Arizona and the events leading up to his last known phone call remain a mystery. His family is left to wonder what became of him after he hung up the phone that day in May 2008, a day that marked the beginning of a long and painful period of not knowing.
