Post-jail sightings (2023)
On the 27th of March, 2023, Chris was released from custody with the only explanation being "released by court order", thus beginning The Chase for CWC.
Spotted at Walmart
- Main article: Mal-Wart#Midlothian location
On 1 May 2023, Chris was spotted at a Walmart in Midlothian, VA, a suburb west of Richmond located in Chesterfield County, where he also attended high school over 20 years ago.
On the same day, a Reddit user posted a thread with a photo of Chris, claiming that a friend had sent the picture.[1] On Twitter, more photos were posted.[2] In the photos, Chris' hair has returned to its natural brown colour, and he also appears much thinner, congruent with his last mugshot. He also has his medallion back.
Another Reddit user, Alternative_Roof1940, subsequently posted photos of Chris from the security cameras at the Walmart.[3]
Shot of Chris near the checkout. Curiously, the Sonichu medallion Chris is wearing in the photo has a bigger nose and slightly different eye shape, possibly a new mark five medallion.
Alternative_Roof1940 uploaded a brief video clip of Chris walking away outside of the store.

He also claimed:[4]
Chris approached the electronic department asking for a flash drive and also ended up buying a switch (yes......again). The second photo is from the electronics when he was asking |
There was a large black van chris got into about 8 stores down driven by a large black woman. I didn't take any photos of the vehicle for the sake of the woman driving |
No, there was no group. Chris was alone the entire time up until chris got into the car with 1 single person parked 8 stores away |
The location where Walmart is located at, happens to be about 10 miles north by road to the main campus of Gateway Homes, a non-profit organization in Chesterfield County that provides mental health services in a residential setting, which led to hypothesis that Chris is residing there.
Spotted at a Game Shop
On 2 May 2023, once again, Chris was spotted playing cards at a currently unknown game shop, though it is most likely located in Maryland since that's where Chris was on the 1st.
Chris is wearing the same Mark 5 medallion he was wearing in the Walmart photos.
