Christopher "Chris" Louis Zaharias was a toddler who was abducted by his mother, Susan Zaharias, along with his 1-year-old sister, Lisa Mae Zaharias. His photo is shown age-progressed to 37 years.

Case[]

Chris’ father, Louis, last saw him and his sister on November 20, 1987, when he left the house to calm down after an argument with Susan. While he was at work that day, Susan fled with the children, possibly with the help of relatives.

Chris, Lisa Mae, and Susan may be traveling in a black 1986 Toyota 4-Runner with license plate number 2X85442. Susan and her children reportedly lived with relatives in Pennsylvania for a short time after their disappearances. In 1988, there was a sighting of them in Detroit, Michigan. Susan may have taken the children to Oklahoma or Pennsylvania, where she had relatives, or to Canada or Northern California.

In 2016, Susan’s mother, Norma, died. In her obituary, Chris, Lisa Mae, and Susan were all listed as surviving relatives. Authorities believe that Norma, along with other family members, were helping Susan conceal her children. Police have further stated that they had evidence that Susan, Chris, and Lisa Mae are alive and that there were family members in contact with them. Despite this, their current whereabouts are unknown and Louis continues to search for his children.

A felony warrant for Crimes Against Persons was issued for Susan on February 17, 1988. Additionally, there is a warrant out for her arrest for custodial interference. Susan was reportedly addicted to cocaine and crystal methamphetamine at the time she abducted Chris and Lisa Mae.
