By May of 2022, 33-year-old Christopher Hoye was living in Dixon, Missouri, with his wife and their blended family. They had relocated there from Illinois to try to live a more simple life homesteading. On May 19, 2022, things appeared to be going like any typical day on the farm. There were animals to tend to, and the kids were running around. Chris and his wife, Alysha, were divvying up their chores. Alysha says that she went outside to milk their goats, and while she was gone, Chris disappeared. Alysha said she heard his truck start up but wasn't close enough to see anything. When she finished up with the goats and returned to the house, something didn't seem right. Chris' truck was gone, the gate was left open, and Chris' wallet and phone were left at the house. Hoping that Chris had just left for a quick errand, Alysha waited, but Chris never returned. A couple of hours later, she decided to look for him and found his truck abandoned not far from their house. Despite extensive searches, no trace of Chris Hoye has ever been found.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Chris Hoye, please call the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department at 573-774-6196. They also have a tip line at 573-774-7948.
