Case/Incident #2021-2726

Kirkland, WA – Christopher M. Taylor was last seen late on Thursday, January 21, 2021 around midnight, before leaving his residence in Kirkland.  Christopher advised his parents that he was going to go for a drive and get something to eat.  Christopher left in his parent’s vehicle and did not return home.  This vehicle was located by the Kirkland waterfront around 10:00 a.m. Friday, January 22 when Kirkland Police were notified by his parents of his disappearance.

Christopher left a message on his computer on Thursday night at his residence advising them that he planned on taking his own life.  Although Christopher has no reported history of suicide attempts, no history of violence and no history of carrying weapons, his family and Kirkland Police are gravely concerned for his current welfare and whereabouts.  His cellular phone communication history shows that it was turned off around 9:00 a.m. in the vicinity of where his vehicle was located.

Kirkland Police are asking that if anyone sees Christopher or has any knowledge of his whereabouts to call NORCOM Dispatch Center at 425-577-5656.  .
