## Resource

Episode 106 Christopher Newton 33 year old Christopher Newton had fallen on hard times when his family lost touch with him in late 2023. Chris had battled his way through a schizophrenia diagnosis with the help of medications and had even started his own business and got his own apartment. But his business eventually went under, and Chris began to use drugs and stopped taking his prescribed medications. He found himself living in Canada's unhoused community, sleeping in a tent in the Nelson, BC area of Canada. Chris was briefly incarcerated in September, 2023. While in custody, his camp, tent, and all his belongings, along with the camps of other nearby unhoused people, were taken down and removed by the city of Nelson, and railway officials. When Chris was released on December 11,2023, he went back to his camp to find it no longer there. With no place to go, he began sleeping on nearby streets. On December 23rd, Nelson police told him that he needed to move along. After this, Chris's family, who did not live close to the area lost touch with him and he was reported missing that month. There were unconfirmed sightings in the following months, but also one seemingly reliable sighting in the summer of 2024. Since then, it seems as if Chris has truly vanished and his family is desperate to find him. His mother Christine Moore is our guest in this episode. Christopher Newton is described as a White male standing 5ft10, and weighing 159 pounds. He has Brown hair and eyes, and a skateboard tattoo on his left shoulder.
