New details released as search continues for missing man whose phone pinged near Avon, Buxton
The National Park Service continues to seek information from the public to assist in locating Christopher Lee Palmer, 39, who was officially declared a missing person by Arkansas authorities on Jan. 16.

After a review of Dare County traffic camera footage, investigators have determined that Palmer’s red 2017 Ford F-250 was in Dare County, North Carolina, as early as the afternoon of Jan. 9. A blue and white kayak was observed in the back of the vehicle. Additionally, pings to Palmer’s mobile phone indicate that the phone was located near Avon on the evening of Jan. 10 and near Cape Point in Buxton on Jan. 11.
On Jan. 12, NPS law enforcement rangers located Palmer’s vehicle, which was stuck on the beach at Cape Hatteras National Seashore. According to visitor reports, the vehicle was also stuck on the beach on Jan. 11. The blue and white kayak, which was observed in traffic 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 ongoing investigative efforts. 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.

My husband thought one push would give him everything. As the freezing ocean swallowed me beneath the luxury yacht, I heard him laugh beside his mistress. “The fortune is ours now,” Vanessa said.

My husband introduced his mistress to me while I was still bleeding in a hospital bed.

“Sweetheart… why is your face covered in bruises?” my father asked the second he walked into my birthday party.

I’m not going anywhere.” For three seconds, Noah didn’t speak. Behind him, I could hear violins, champagne laughter, and Vanessa’s […]
tt_While I screamed in pain, she leaned down and whispered, “That’s the price for stealing my brother from this family. Next time, it’ll be your face.”
The roast hit the kitchen tiles like a gunshot, and the boiling oil followed my legs down like fire.
