Why This Area is of Interest: Christopher "Chris" Sanders was last seen on August 13, 2017, at the QPS RV Park in Monahans, Texas. His disappearance has raised significant concern among family, friends, and the community. Understanding the timeline and locations related to his last known movements is crucial in the ongoing search efforts.

Key Locations and Events:

  • QPS RV Park: Chris was staying at this RV park when he went missing. It marks the starting point of his last known location and is critical for understanding where he was last seen.
  • Barbed Wire Fence and I-20: Witnesses reported that Chris crossed a barbed wire fence and moved eastbound towards Interstate I-20. This route is pivotal as it indicates a possible direction he may have taken after leaving the RV park.
  • Phone Call: At 11:51 PM, Chris received a phone call from his nephew, lasting 4 minutes. This call is particularly important because it was his last known communication. After this call, there was no further phone activity detected, suggesting he either turned off his phone or moved into an area with no cell reception.
