Jefferson City police are searching the local landfill in their investigation into the disappearance of Christopher Cray.
Police officially confirmed in a news release Thursday night that they have been "working with Allied Waste to pursue leads at their landfill site that may reveal more information" about the disappearance of the 23-year-old Jefferson City man. The landfill is located at 5605 Moreau River Access Road in the eastern part of the city.
"We are not ruling out other potential locations for future searches, nor are we focusing solely on any one single source of information," JCPD Capt. Doug Shoemaker stated in the release.
Shoemaker also noted that police wouldn't be answering any other questions from news media about the development until Friday.
The police department has been investigating the disappearance of Cray since May 20. Cray last was seen in the area of Schnucks supermarket, 1801 Missouri Blvd. His abandoned vehicle was recovered in Jefferson City May 26.
Cray's disappearance was considered suspicious because family members said Cray always kept in contact with them. Since his disappearance, Cray missed celebrating his own birthday and the birth of his child.
Two people face criminal charges for allegedly interfering with the police investigation into Cray's disappearance.
