COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A Colorado Springs boy taken from his parents' bedroom back in 1986 has now been missing for almost 25 years.
The National Center For Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) said 7-month-old Christopher Abeyta was taken from his parents' bedroom in Colorado Springs between 12:30 and 2:30 a.m. July 15, 1986.
Abeyta was born Nov. 28, 1985 and would be 25 years old today. He weighed 17 pounds and was white with blond hair and blue eyes.
Forensic artists at the center produced an age progression of Abeyta, showing what he may have looked like at age 23.
The case has been labeled a non-family abduction.
Abeyta was the youngest of seven children, according to a website set up by the family to help find him.
The website also states Abeyta's family had been receiving hang-up calls for six months prior to Abeyta's abduction. The calls stopped the day he was taken, then resumed several months later.
It was also the first night Abeyta's father Gil had spent in the house following a separation with Abeyta's mother Bernice.
Investigators said the front door was unlocked the night Abeyta disappeared so the older children could enter without a key.
According to the Facebook profile set up to find Abeyta, Emma Bradshaw of Castle Rock, Colo. is the suspect, but investigators don't have enough evidence to arrest her. According to police records, Bradshaw had been having an affair with Gil and had tried to contact him up until midnight the night Abeyta was taken. She also had a previous history of break-ins.
The Facebook page also has court records of Bradshaw breaking in to the Abeyta home and stealing family photos. She was also arrested for stalking and harassment of a married man and his family following the affair.
