A Chilling Shift in the North Carolina Case: Chris Palmer’s Dog Was Discovered With a Tracking Device Taken From His Truck — But the Signal Leads Nowhere Near the Ocean. Instead, It Points Nearly 100km Inland, Forcing Investigators to Ask: Was This Ever an Accident or a Disappearance at All? 👇👇

The National Park Service is asking the public to offer any information that can assist in locating Christopher Lee Palmer, 39, who was declared a missing person by Arkansas authorities after his vehicle was found stuck on the beach at Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

Investigators have reviewed Dare County traffic camera footage and determined that Palmer’s red 2017 Ford F-250 was in Dare County, North Carolina, as early as the afternoon of January 9, and a blue and white kayak was observed in the back of the vehicle. Pings to Palmer’s mobile phone show that the phone was located near Avon on the evening of January 10 and near Cape Point in Buxton on January 11.

On January 12, Park Service law enforcement rangers found Palmer’s vehicle on the beach, and according to visitor reports, the vehicle was also there on January 11. The blue and white kayak previously seen in camera footage was not in the vehicle and has not yet been found.

Palmer is believed to be traveling with his German shepherd and may still be in the area. Information from the public, including boaters, may help with the ongoing investigation. Anyone with information on Palmer’s whereabouts is encouraged to come forward. Palmer is described as white, approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall, with blue eyes and strawberry blond hair.

Anyone with information can submit it to the Park Service:
