Message to All Michael’s Friends

This is the most difficult time for Michael's family-mom Leslie, dad Chris & wife Stacy, brother Matt, sister Lauren, grandpa Irish, and me. We have been praying for Michael's safe return or answers to his disappearance for a long, long time. This is not the answer we hoped for, but I give God all the praise, honor and glory for being who He is. He always keeps His promises and all things are in His timing. Because He does not place on us more than we can bear, His timing is perfect. He has been preparing us for over 4 1/2 years for this possible outcome. Thank you all for your love, prayers, good wishes, encouragement and service. Each of you are very special to me and you will always be on my mind and in my heart and prayers.

December 6th, 2007
It is with great sadness that I need to report on behalf of Christopher Michael Pierce's family that they found his 1988 Jeep pickup truck, La license plate W031965, around 12:45 p.m. December 6, 2007 about 100 feet off the north ramp of the boat launch on Arthur Ray Teague Parkway, in the Red River in Bossier City, La.
This was the vehicle Christopher Michael Pierce was driving when he disappeared from the Taco Bell on Barksdale Boulevard where he worked May 18, 2003 around 11:30 pm.
As we learn more information we will update his page. Please keep the family in your prayers during this time of uncertainty.

About Christopher "Michael" Pierce:
CHRISTOPHER MICHAEL PIERCE
Born May 29, 1984 in Shreveport, Louisiana. Graduated May 18, 2002 Parkway High School, Bossier City LA.
Disappeared May 18, 2003 around midnight from work at Taco Bell, Barksdale Blvd, Bossier City LA.
Witnesses say Michael left work alone and was driving his red 1988 Jeep Commanche pickup, LA license #W031965. It was a daily struggle to keep his Jeep running well enough to get him to and from work each day. He is described as 6', 275 lbs, brown hair, hazel/green eyes and was wearing a Taco Bell uniform. His was tongue is pierced.
Michael's family had not heard from him since his disappearance. Police have exhausted all leads, so his disappearance had become a "cold case" until December 6, 2007 when they found his truck and remains in the Red River.
He has an adoring 17 year old brother, Matthew Pierce, 14 year old
sister, Lauren Rogers, mother, Leslie Rogers in Nashville, TN. His
grandparents, Judy and Irish Downes live in Gallatin, TN. His dad and
step-mom, Chris and Stacy Pierce, live in Shreveport, LA.
Michael was an exceptional young man. He loved his family and friends
who have extremely fond memories of his kind, caring, loyal,
friendly, and loving ways.
From birth he had been a tremendous joy and delight to his parents,
grandparents and great-grandparents. He was a bright, adorable infant
who was remarkably sensitive to the feelings of his loved ones and
playmates. He wanted to please everyone.
Through his childhood and teen years, he never lost this sensitivity.
He was not always treated kindly by his peers, but he loved everyone.
He never complained when he was mentally or physically in pain. As a child he loved music and sports. He was always an A & B average student and enjoyed school. He never used liquor, tobacco or drugs.
Until his disappearance, he did volunteer work with the Shreveport/Bossier MudBugs hockey team and was liked by all who knew and worked with him, including rival team members.
Michael was gifted in poetry and short story writing. He enjoyed being
on the computer, journaling and chatting with internet friends. He
dreamed of being a disc jockey and had hopes of majoring in
journalism and broadcasting. He was making his own living on the few
bucks an hour he earned working nights at Taco Bell. He was hoping to
save for a new car and college in the near future.
Before he disappeared, he told his mother on the phone that his life had been threatened & he had not been sleeping well & was afraid. Michael had just graduated high school with honors, never in trouble & was a sensitive, caring young man. We had been told by the police that kids disappear all the time. Police have so many criminal matters to handle that a missing boy is not top priority, although they say that they have done all they can do unless they have any other leads to follow.
We are desparate to find answers to what happend to our precious child and how he ended up in the Red River. To us, this is a priority situation, but we have no one with our sense of urgency.
We feel someone knows something & must come forward.
My husband has gone to Michael's home town & talked to people &
posted "missing" posters everywhere. Michael is gone now & we need
help or some solid advice or leads to prompt the police to further investigate.
We cannot afford a private investigator, or reward money however.
We are not prominent people who know how to get public attention.
However, we must cry out for our Michael. We feel that we must get
media attention & pray that your involvement would be a mighty
platform. Please help us with advice or anything.
We do know that countless people & churches are praying.
