100921 TODDLER FOUND SAFE MCPR
10/09/2021 Saturday morning the search for Christopher continued in Grimes County. But as many thought he was abducted investigators kept on searching. Blake Jarvis a Grimes County Constable assisted the Sheriff in the investigation part of the case. He work side by side since the beginning with state and federal officials. Teary-eyed he said the main reason they kept up the search was due to the neighbor across the street from Christopher’s home. Joyce Gramm, who had lost her home in the 2011 wildfires relocated to a place that helped investigators. She was the one who witnessed Christopher running down the street after the dog. In addition, a door camera had a glimpse of him. Investigators ruled out all family members. Last night a resident near the Crown Ranch Subdivision Off FM 1486 heard of the story at bible study. He came home with it on his mind. This morning he said he had a word that told him to search the back of his property. He had walked back and heard what he thought was a wounded animal but heard it several times. He then called Grimes County and units responded. Over the past several days there have been many tip calls all of which turned up nothing including one they thought would pan out in Brewster County. As units got to the location Tim found out the boy’s name and once again started calling. That is when he heard the boy respond. He had to chop his way into the brush from the pipeline and found little Christopher completely naked, no shoes, and bruised and scratched, and very thirsty. He was transported to the road where Sheriff Sowell took the mother to meet them. Magnolia Fire responded along with MCHD who transported the child in stable condition. Like Joyce Gramm, Tim also said it was the man above responsible. He would not go on camera but agreed to an interview as he said he was just guided to Christopher by the man above. Tim Miller with Equusearch said this has been one of the hardest since he started after the death and discovery of his daughter’s body. Sheriff Sowell who had been out there since the beginning was very relieved as he hugged his investigators after the reunion. Sheriff Sowell thanked everyone involved. He said he wasn’t going to give up as he knew the child was out there. He said he was going to wait several more days before making a decision. When asked about the child with no clothes he said the thorns and brush and many times as children get hot they come out of their clothes.
