Chip was last seen by his brother on March 5, 2016. He spent the day with his brother and was dropped back off at his home on Ward Basin Road around 6:30 pm. Chip's roommate placed a "cry for help" post on her Facebook stating that the day before she came home, the house was in disarray with mud tracked throughout the house and Chip was nowhere to be found. She stated she called jails and hospitals to locate him but did not find him. She also stated his cell phone was in the master bathroom, but the battery was out and had been factory reset so no information could be obtained. (Information retrieved from NamUs.gov)
