Crishtian Hughes was born July 24, 1992 and grew up in San Diego, California. His family said he was very social and friendly with everyone and always had a big heart.

In 2013, after recently losing his father, Crishtian decided to fly to San Francisco for a few days and visit friends.

On February 4, 2013, Crishtian’s mother, Kim, drove her son to the San Diego airport, knowing she’d seen him again in three quick days. They said their goodbyes, not knowing the last time they would.

Crishtian’s return flight was due back in San Diego on February 7 around 2:30 p.m.

But 2:30 came and went, and Crishtian did not arrive. Kim confirmed that his plane arrived, and since he was not on it, she thought he must’ve missed the flight. However, all of her efforts to contact her son were unsuccessful.

Christian was 20 years old and had recently lost his father. Kim knew he was suffering a bit, and instantly was quite worried. But again, her son was an adult.

The next day, February 8, Kim contacted Crishtian’s aunt in San Francisco. She confirms she saw Crishtian on February 5, the day after Crishtian arrived in San Francisco, and she gave him $70. She didn’t note anything unusual.
