Philadelphia authorities are urgently calling on the community to assist in the search for a young boy reported as missing and endangered. Christopher Zayas, just 14 years old, has not been seen since Tuesday morning, according to the Philadelphia Police Department's blotter. He was last spotted at around 6:30 am on the 37xx block of N 5th St. in Philadelphia's 25th District.
Described as weighing about 105 lbs and standing 5'1" tall, Christopher has brown hair and brown eyes. His last known outfit consisted of a black sweater bedecked with the phrase “HO HO HO” in grey and a pair of white/gray New Balance sneakers. The police, growing increasingly concerned for his welfare, have appealed to the public, as the days without a sign of Christopher's whereabouts accumulate.
The Philadelphia Police Department has designated this as a high-priority case, being that Christopher is a minor and the circumstances of his disappearance are worrying. They have encouraged anyone who might have knowledge of his current location or even the smallest detail that could lead to finding him, to come forward. Anyone with information is urged to contact the East Detectives Division at 215-686-3243.
