Christian Daniel Balke-Thompson, a 36-year-old man from Rockwell City, Iowa, was last seen on May 3, 2020. He was reported missing after his vehicle was found burned and abandoned the next day in a shed near Carroll, Iowa. Christian, also known as "B-T," had several tattoos, including his mother’s name "Michelle Theresa" on his left wrist and bats on his right wrist and hand. He left behind two young sons, and his family has been searching for answers since his disappearance.

Christian was last seen by his mother on April 29, 2020, during his son’s birthday party. After she was unable to reach him for several days, she reported him missing. Authorities have not ruled out foul play, but little evidence has surfaced regarding the circumstances of his disappearance. His family, particularly his mother, has been actively involved in trying to uncover what happened, but no significant leads have emerged.

Despite extensive investigations by local and state authorities, including the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, Christian’s case remains unsolved. His family continues to hope for answers, with his disappearance leaving a profound impact on his children and loved ones.
