As LA Observed wrote, the story had a simple ending as he was found pretty much where he was last seen.

But how does one elude sheriff’s deputies, dogs, helicopters, news media, friends, relatives, etc. right where they are all looking for you? Evidently, if you think the world is out to kill you, and you are in a dense canyon, it’s indeed possible.

So in the end, it appears that something set Christian off last Sunday night and put him into a major delusional state. He ran into the rugged canyon below his house and remained there while an intense manhunt was going on. Whether it was a previously un-diagnosed mental condition, drugs or something else will have to be determined my the mental health professionals who are now caring for him.

Christian’s family deserves a great deal of credit on this one. If not for their flyers and their attempts to keep this in the media, it is possible that the neighbor who found him would have mistaken him as a transient and just shooed him away. He certainly could not have survived much longer in that area, particularly given his mental condition.

Once again, it turns out that when multiple theories are possible, the simplest one is the correct one.
