Circumstances

Christopher Hart Bridgeman Jr was last seen in Thurston County, Washington. This incident occurred on January 1, 1963. He was having a visitation period with his six-year-old son at the Barrett Motel on Martin Way east. Then he left the child alone, saying he had go to see his father. Bridgeman never returned and has never been heard from again. Two days later, the hotel manager took the child to his uncle’s house.

Bridgeman’s children initially believed he had abandoned his family willingly. They believed that he to seek a career in the music industry. At the time of his disappearance, he was a country singer and guitar player. And he had a hit song that frequently played on local radio stations.

Investigators no longer believe he left of his own accord, however. The Social Security Administration doesn’t report any earnings for him since 1963, and none of his loved ones have heard from him in the decades since his disappearance.

Bridgeman’s father claimed to have filed a missing persons report for his son. But there is no record of it. A report was eventually filed decades after his disappearance. Bridgeman’s driver’s license was later found with his father’s belongings. His father, who died in 1993, was known for having a bad temper and possible mental health issues.

Some members of the family believe Bridgeman Sr. murdered his son and buried the body in his basement. A 2005 search of the basement, however, turned up only animal bones.

Bridgeman’s disappearance remains unsolved. Foul play is suspected.

Appeal

Christopher Hart Bridgeman Jr has been missing for some 55 years and ten months. He has been missing for over half a century. But he went missing before technology, DNA testing, and missing persons awareness. And he is a missing adult and a missing man. And so his family and police naturally assumed that he left to embark on a new life as a singer. And so the critical time in his search left slipped by. After this passage of time, all his family and police have are suspicions. If Bridgeman’s father is guilty of his disappearance and death, he will never face any justice, as he is no longer alive.
