Jessica
Wright says they have “no leads whatsoever” in the case of her missing husband,
33-year-old Christopher Wright, who seemingly vanished after heading from their
home in Loxahatchee to the Lake Worth area to get something to eat on Saturday
night, Sept. 12.
Jessica was
president of the Lake Worth Kiwanis Club from 2013-2014 and works at All-County
Funeral Home on Lake Avenue.
She
married Chris Wright last November and the two moved from west Lake Worth,
where they had been living, to Loxahatchee.
Christopher
Wright is originally from Boca Raton, and graduated from Boca Raton High School
in 1999. He works as sales manager doing phone sales for National Relocation
Services in Margate.
On the
day he disappeared, Saturday, Sept. 12, Christopher had gone to work, as he
usually does on Saturdays. He’d left work around 3:30 p.m. and headed home to
Loxahatchee. His wife, Jessica, age 27, was out.
They
talked on the phone a few hours later.
“He told
me he was going to get something to eat around 8 o’clock,” says Jessica. “When
I got home at 10, he wasn’t there.”
Christopher
was driving a 2010 white Lexus with license plate # CXPW81.
Their
bank account records show a cash withdrawal from the ATM at Suntrust Bank in
Manalapan, says Jessica. She says it would be somewhat unusual for Christopher
to withdraw cash, as they normally use debit and credit cards. But she said the
amount that was withdrawn was not large.
She also
said she didn’t find it unusual that he traveled from Loxahatchee to Lake
Worth to get food, saying he likes to drive.
An
anonymous tip has come in from someone who said they saw Christopher at the convenience
store on 10th Avenue North, just west of Dixie Highway. Jessica says
she believes the tip, and says she thinks Christopher could have stopped in to
get food.
The
National Missing Persons Alliance, based in North Palm Beach, has stepped in to
assist the family, and this past weekend began to interview Christopher’s family
and friends, and to map out a search strategy.
Christopher Wright, the alliance writes on its
Facebook page, “is believed to be missing and endangered.”
The
alliance is all the help the family has 10 days after Christopher first went
missing. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office has taken a report, but doesn’t
have an active search underway.
“It’s in
their system,” says Jessica, “but they’re not actively looking for him.”
Christopher
Wright is 6’1” in height, and weighs 235 pounds. He has a tattoo on the top of
his left wrist, and two more on his forearm and lower left leg.
His
wife, Jessica, describes him as a laid back, non-confrontational kind of guy.
She says he didn’t really have friends in the Lake Worth area. His friends were
his co-workers, and most of them live in Broward County, where he works.
She said
Christopher once had a drug problem, but that he’s been clean for six years.
She said that she controls the bank account, and so would have noticed if he
was spending a lot of money on something.
Jessica
was at work at All-County Funeral Home on Tuesday, Sept. 22, saying she just
has to “keep going” – even with no news of her husband.
Anyone
with information about Christopher Wright’s whereabouts or anyone who may have
seen him in the Lake Worth area is urged to call Jessica Wright at (561)
856-0832 or the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office at (561) 688-3400.
