Christian Hall 15 took a 74 foot sailboat in November 2005 in Corpus Christi, Texas and pursued the trip of a lifetime. He had been employed with David Dusty Andrews a 39 year old boat owner who promised him an adventure to the Florida Keys in the capacity of a deckhand. The teen went off into the horizon despite the denial of his family who had refused to give him the permission.
Twenty years after that horizon is still clear. The boy and his boss,the huge ship, the Gypsy II have never been heard of since. In December 2025 a new age progressed image was reintroducing the hunt to find a boy who is now an adult man aged 35.
The Fateful Voyage: To Corpus Christi to Mayday Call.
The trip was started on 24 November 2005. The two left the John F. Kennedy Memorial Causeway that was a bridge between Laguna Madre and North Padre Island. The world was gearing up to the holiday season, though, as Christian and Andrews were heading towards the Gulf of Mexico.
The Ultimate Reckoning off Louisiana Coast.
The next part is the mystery of this maritime. Officials confirmed that a mayday signal was issued out of the Gypsy II as it was heading out of Louisiana.
• The Circumstance: The ship was reportedly filling in water and having engine failures.
• The Refusal: When a civilian boater came to provide help, Andrews is said to have refused him as he waved away the rescuer.
The Case: Unauthorized Travel and Faked Identity.
Week after week passed and some horrifying information was being brought to light. The bulletin was issued by Texas Department of Public Safety but a massive delay compromised the search and Christian was not reported missing until 4 January 2006.
Was it an Abduction or an Accident?
An inquiry into David Andrews (or Captain Dusty) was making a number of red flags:
• Unauthorized Travel: Andrews drove a minor across state borders without the parental approval.
Deception: Andrews had lied to other people that Christian was his biological son.
Legal Problem: Andrews was also at the time of the trip reported to be on bond skip on DUI charges, so some may want to know whether the disappearance was a fake getaway to lead a life without detection.
The Family Hope: The 20-Year Search.
The voice of the family has been the aunt, Carla Boehm of Christian. She collaborates with the National Center to Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) but she is not despondent that Christian is still alive, maybe, he is not aware that his family is still looking.
The Age-Progressed Face of 2025.
To facilitate finding the cold case a forensic artist produced another age progressed image. This is an important visual tool since it takes into consideration the 20 years of aging, which depict what the 15 year old adventure seeker may appear like at the age of 35.
