{{protip|We once again advise you to ''never'' directly engage with Chris nor attempt to get him [[banned]] from the places he's been to. On the off-chance that you cross paths with Chris, the ''most'' that you should do is [[Passive observers|get some kind of documentation of Chris]], [[Unholy Quintet|but never to directly engage with him]].}}
{{Ongoing}}

Since his release from jail in [[2023]], multiple '''sightings''' of Chris have occurred in [[2024]]. The sightings are particularly notable, given Chris's decline in terms of having an active online presence.

==January==
===Ultimate Comics (North Carolina)===
On 4 [[January 2024]], Chris and [[Flutter]] were spotted and photographed at Ultimate Comics in [[wikipedia:Cary, North Carolina|Cary, North Carolina]] by [[r/ChrisChanSonichu]] user RandyMagnum68, who claimed that the pair were picking up tickets for [[Animate! Raleigh]], a convention in [[wikipedia:Raleigh, North Carolina|Raleigh NC]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/18yqgb5/chris_chan_sighting_in_cary_nc_with_young_girl/</ref>  The following day, they were seen together at the event.

===Raleigh Convention Center===
On 6 [[January 2024]], Chris and Flutter were spotted outside of the [[Animate! Raleigh]] convention, purportedly being denied entry.  An image was provided by r/ChrisChanSonichu user DeadStargazer, who stated that security was awaiting Chris and Flutter's arrival.  The user says no incident prompted this removal, simply that Chris was reported to the convention ops on 5 January.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/1907pum/chris_chan_kicked_out_of_animate_raleigh/</ref>

===Gas station===
On 13 [[January 2024]], Reddit user u/lynnwood_davis allegedly spotted Chris at a gas station, presumably [[Sheetz]], in Henrico County.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/196hbd8/chris_came_into_my_job_yesterday/ ([https://archive.fo/nmSqb archive])</ref>

{{quotebox|I was finishing an order around 3:45pm when I noticed someone ordering had on really ugly green leggings and a jean skirt. I smiled to myself and thought "that lady looks like Chris Chan, got the ugly leggings+skirt combo on too", just for me to look at her face and realize it IS Chris Chan, with her fading blue hair and she/her pin on. I couldn't take a picture because she DEFINITELY noticed how much I was staring and I couldn't stop smiling. I texted my buddy on the register and apparently she ended up going through his line. he told me later that day that when he realized she was in his line, his eyes bugged out of his head and she awkwardly just said "doot doot doo..." under her breath. he confirmed his suspicions when she took out her Sonichu wallet. she awkwardly shuffled around the coffee area waiting for her order and mumbled anxiously looking for napkins, and left soon after.}}

This sighting, due to the lack of photos and credibility, has been disputed for a long time; however, since it's located near the airport Chris picked up Flutter from a month earlier and Flutter was nowhere to be seen, it's safe to say that's when she left the scene once again, as confirmed by later sightings and overall activity of Chris.

===Target===
On 23 [[January 2024]], Chris was spotted at [[Target]] in [[Lynchburg, VA]] by u/DatabaseSuccessful99 on [[Reddit]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichuSFW/comments/19er88t/christinachandler_at_target// ([https://archive.ph/D0Fl3 archive])</ref>

{{quotebox|(Censored face of person sitting in bar behind them) Two guys had a camera and were recording a conversation with Chris, who (at one point) raised a hand and started singing a high note, garnering looks from the people around the food court.}}

==April==
===Arabia Shopping Centre, Helsinki, Finland===
[[File:Chris and Flutter in Finland, April 2024.mp400001.png|thumb|200px]]
On 4 [[April 2024]],<ref>https://x.com/octopoxYT/status/1841851727391166936 ([https://ghostarchive.org/archive/oBza3 archive])</ref> Chris and [[Flutter]] were seen in Helsinki, [[Finland]] at the Arabia Shopping Centre. A brief video clip was recorded but was not shared until 1 [[October 2024]] when it was posted on [[Kiwi Farms]]; the person filming had been uncertain at the time whether it was Chris, though they noted the height similarity and that English was being spoken.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (other users)#Finland Sighting]]</ref>

==May==
===Dallas Fort Worth===
On 24 [[May 2024]] Chris was spotted at {{w|Dallas Fort Worth International Airport}}, Texas by [[Reddit]] user Accomplished_Fix1716. Accomplished_Fix1716 said that Chris's flight was canceled. Accomplished_Fix1716 also said that Chris was calling someone, as well as texting.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichuSFW/comments/1d029xf/botched_chris_chan_spotting/ ([https://archive.ph/2UMXH archive])</ref>

Of note, Dallas Fort Worth offers direct service to {{w|Helsinki Airport}} in Finland. Assuming Chris flew in directly from Helsinki, he would have been in the air for close to 11 hours, which would help to explain his mood in the video.

===Big Island House===
On 29 [[May 2024]], [[Kiwi Farms]] user TwistedFreak posted two pictures of Chris's car, alongside one photo of Chris himself in front of the [[Big Island House]].<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/random-chris-updates.23605/page-2069#post-18414439 ([https://archive.ph/7Zv1X archive])</ref> TwistedFreak later realized it was not, in fact, Chris's car in the side-view mirror photo taken at H&H Mart. <ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/random-chris-updates.23605/page-2074#post-18478398)</ref> 
{{quoteboxgreen|Good afternoon Kiwis.

I present to you Day 2 of #Crishing - a Twisted Freak Production.

I come bearing answers to two long debated questions:
<br><nowiki>
   1.Does Chris read Kiwi Farms?</nowiki><br><nowiki>
   2.Does bullying work?</nowiki>

After less than a week of being publicly shamed on KF for his antisocial parking behavior, Christopher has changed his ways. See pic:

That was from this morning. On my second trip of the day #Crishing on [House address], I spotted a wild Christopher outside of his paper mill goon mansion:

So much for that airport fit, back to dressing like a 5 year old girl apparently.

After snapping that pic, I flipped a U-Turn and went to H&H Mart. After laying down a doozer in the bathroom, I saw Christopher getting gas at the gas station. I didn't notice him until I was already in my car. Rather than startle him with a camera in his face, I managed to snap a picture of him leaving:

===River Ridge Mall (June)===
On 29 [[June 2024]], Chris was sighted at River Ridge Mall in Lynchburg with [[Flutter]] by [[Reddit]] user ProduceFuzzy1353. According to the Redditor, Chris and Flutter had Chick-Fil-A and went to see a movie,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/1drypjd/chris_chan_spotted/ ([https://archive.fo/H72AD archive])</ref> later confirmed to be ''Inside Out 2''.<ref>[[June_2024_livestream]]</ref>

Another user, by the nick of Silly_Tourist123, later published a 2-second video clip of them at the customer service line, writing: "I saw them too while I was checking out my bags. I managed to tail [[Chevrolet Aveo|his car]] as he was leaving for a short ways."<ref>https://archive.is/WwiWk</ref><ref>https://streamable.com/9fdmp0 ([https://www.youtube.com/shorts/u1L2U9qwAvI backup copy])</ref> Silly Tourist also posted to [[Kiwi Farms]], where a photo of the car sighting was posted.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (other users)#Walmart Sighting]]</ref>

===Walmart Part II (July) ===
On 12 [[July 2024]], Chris and [[Flutter]] were spotted at a [[Lynchburg, VA]] Walmart by Reddit user ClownPrinceofGrape,<ref>https://new.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/1e1uju0/chris_chan_is_in_lynchburg/ ([https://archive.fo/Q7FEu archive])</ref> who remarked:<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/1e1uju0/comment/lcxxlnn/ ([https://archive.fo/6d6nH archive])</ref>

{{quotebox|I do want to say i overheard them talking when they were checking out next to me and she was talking in a fake anime girl voice and he was telling her how to bag food properly and it was beyond weird}}

A Kiwi Farms user asked for details, and ClownPrinceofGrape replied that Chris was doing most of the talking about the food they needed and the order to bag it, and that Flutter was replying with simple answers such as "that sounds great!" or "ok!" in a waifu voice.<ref>[[:File:My Earnest Opinions-ClownPrinceofGrape 13Jul2024 DM.jpg]]</ref>

On 16 [[July 2024]] Chris and [[Flutter]] were spotted driving by [[Reddit]] user StalinF.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/s/mWreylWzcd</ref> StalinF mistook Flutter in the backseat for a child due to her appearance. StalinF left a comment saying:

{{quotebox|I don’t know much about the Chris chan lore so idk if this is interesting but I saw him on the way towards [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville VA]] with whoever the kid is in his backseat}}

{{quotebox|Seen at Valley View Mall. She had what looked like a little kid, but I did some research and it seems like someone named Flutter?
