In late May 2019, 41-year-old Christopher Dietterick quietly disappeared from Elkton, Maryland. About a week later, his ex-wife received a phone call from the University of Maryland Cancer Center in Baltimore; Chris hadn’t made it to his appointment for his cancer treatment on June 5. That’s when she contacted his sister, and they began to compare notes and try to find anyone who had seen or spoken to Chris. But there was no sign of Chris, so his sister, Sara, reported him missing. During the course of the investigation, they uncovered video surveillance footage of Chris at the Cecil County Health Department in Elkton around 11 AM on May 30, but that’s where his trail goes cold. Chris’ last outgoing call was that same evening at 5:05 PM, and his phone pinged in the town of Elkton. Five years later, Chris’ case remains a mystery.
If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Christopher Dietterick, please contact the Elkton Police Department at (410) 398-4200.
