Help Me Find Christopher V. Hyde

Donation protected
Please donate towards the search for my brother, Christopher Hyde, who disappeared in Florida.




About Us:
I am Lila, a 45 year old wife and mother of four wonderful children. When I was 25, my brother, husband and I moved to Florida to try to get to know our ( Chris and my ) absent biological father.

A Reunion:
Our birth father invited us to come to Florida under the pretense of wanting a relationship with us. Chris and I had just lost our mom, and brother. Chris was 19 or 20 years old and I was 22 or 23, when we lost our two close-knit family member's. We were  glad to try to have a relationshiop with our abscent father. Unknown to us.... it would become a huge disaster.

Our Upbringing:
We had a lot of hardships when growing up. Our loving mom,  my two brothers and I were homeless for many years.

Mom:
Our mom was very ill throughout our childhood.  Our mom struggled to take care of us. I was the oldest. I was eight years old...... Our mom went without eating so we could eat, she went without sleep to make sure that we were safe. Our mom tried to get help from family but, was rejected ..... nobody wanted to help.

Death: 
Chris, our brother Eric and I were devastated when our mom passed away...... Then soon after, our brother Eric died in a car accident. Our hearts were broken, but we still had each other. 

Florida:
After we arrived in Florida, things didn't go well.  My brother, Chris, was suffering from mental illness. It felt like our whole world had just fallen apart overnight!

"Please take care of Christopher!": 
Our mom had asked me to take care of my brother if anything happened to her. " I promised that I would."

Texas:
After two years of living in Florida my husband decided that we should move back to Texas due to the loss of his job's.  It was agreed that I would return after we were stable to Florida to bring my brother back to Texas. I trusted my father to take care of his "own son " but, I was wrong.

Missing in Florida:
In just a few months, my brother was no longer with him.  I was shocked and scared! How could he not know where Chris was? 
My brother Is missing........ Please, help me on raising funds in the hopes that it will help me to find him.


Last Sighting:
My brother was last seen in Bradenton at a hospital called Centerstone which was formaly known as Manatee Glens Hospital, Chris was discharged from the hospital on June 25th 2003, after two weeks of being there. The hospital referred him to The Salvation Army . He never made it there. He disappeared........ in 2012 the Sheriff's office reported that my brother applied for a phone  with a false address and then again he disappeared.

My Search:
I have tried all sorts of different ways to find Chris and nothing has worked.  I discovered the nonprofit, LostNMissing, Inc., who has supported me in helping to bring awareness to finding Chris.





I Need YOUR Help, please!
My brother's full name is Christopher Vernon Hyde.
I am asking for any help that you can give me to find him.  

*I am asking for funds to help me hire a private investigator and go to Florida so that I can physically look for him and speak to the police in person, which I have been unable to do.

*I  need to get a private investigator to search for him.

*I am going to need a rental car, funds for a place to stay, funds for food, and funds for travel.

*I'll need two plane tickets, or bus tickets, to bring him home from Florida to Texas.
