This episode of Case by Case focuses on the active disappearance of Chris Palmer, a 39-year-old man who has not been heard from since January 2026.

Chris set out on an extended trip with his German Shepherd and was later linked to the Cape Hatteras area after his truck was found abandoned at Cape Hatteras National Seashore. He remains missing, and authorities believe he may still be in the area.

This episode is intended to raise awareness, explain what is currently known, and encourage responsible public assistance — not speculation.
