About the episode

In January of 2002, a 20-year-old man was working a surveying job in a Georgia forest when he vanished without a trace. When his co-workers realized he was no longer standing in the line, they began their search for him, only to find one of his boots hanging from a barbed wire fence, with his work tools, his work pants, and twelve cents laying in the grass next to it. So where did he go, and what happened to him? This is the story of Christopher Thompkins.BONUS EPISODESApple Subscriptions: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/going-west-true-crime/id1448151398Patreon: patreon.com/goingwestpodcastCASE SOURCES1.
