Standing at 5 feet 8 inches, with gray hair, and brown eyes, and weighing 165 pounds, he is easily identifiable.
Detroit's local community and authorities are coming together in the hopes of quickly finding Mr. Christiansen. He is not merely a missing statistic, but a person who struggles with schizophrenia, a detail further amplifying the urgency of the search as provided by his nephew. The Detroit Police Department has asked those who might catch sight of Christiansen or have any information regarding his whereabouts to immediately contact the department's 10th Precinct at 313-596-1040.
