Post-jail sightings (2023)

Ongoing The things described in this article are still happening, or are still being looked into. As a result, it may be subject to frequent change, and the information provided may not be entirely reliable.

PROTIP: We once again advise you to never ever directly engage with Chris. On the off-chance that you cross paths with Chris, the absolute most that you should do is get some kind of documentation of Chris, but never to directly engage with him; otherwise, it is best to leave Chris alone. To put it more bluntly: DO NOT attempt to stalk Chris upon seeing him, and NEVER speak to Chris in ANY way shape or form, or to anyone at his group home. You do NOT want to be a part of Christory.

As foreseen, a mean keen ween by the name of Peen seen looking for Christine.

On 27 March 2023, Chris was released from jail, with the only explanation being "released by court order". Beginning on 1 May, sightings of Chris were reported in various places around Chesterfield County, Virginia, with some weens referring to this period as "the chase" as they attempt to gangstalk Chris.

Most of the sightings were originally posted on the r/ChrisChanSonichu subreddit. So far, all sightings have involved Chris either shopping or playing trading card games in public.

Walmart

Midlothian Walmart branch

On 1 May 2023, Chris was spotted shopping at a Walmart in Midlothian, Virginia, a western suburb of Richmond in Chesterfield County.

On the same day, a Reddit user called DarylMcGoofyGuy posted a thread with a photo of Chris, claiming that a friend had sent the picture. On Twitter, more photos were posted by an account named Speedymctweet, again claiming a friend had sent them. In the photos, Chris's hair has returned to its natural brown color, and he also appears thinner, congruent with his last mugshot. He also has a Sonichu medallion, most likely a Mark V version.

He also claimed:

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 address of the Walmart was not revealed by any of the observers, but the exterior view shown in Alternative_Roof1940's video indicates that it is the location at 14501 Hancock Village Street. This location happens to be 10 miles (16 km) by road from the main campus of Gateway Homes, lending support to the hypothesis that Chris is residing there. One of the rules of Gateway Homes states “No registered sex offenders or individuals who have committed a sexual offense will be considered”, although Chris is not a registered offender and has not been formally convicted of incest, making it unclear if his charge poses an issue for admission. Without confirmation we cannot say for sure where Chris is residing. Coincidentally, the Walmart is only 4 miles (6 km) from Manchester High School, which Chris attended from 1996 to 2000.

Battlegrounds

Nothing has changed.

On 2 May 2023, Chris was spotted playing cards at the game store Battlegrounds, also in Midlothian, around 11 miles north of Walmart he was shopping on May 1st and a half hour drive from his speculated Gateway Homes. The photo was posted by Euclid_Class_Object to Reddit on the same day presumably.

Euclid Class Object sourced the photo from a member of the "Zodiac Duelist" Yu-Gi-Oh Facebook group.

On the 5th, Battlegrounds set their Facebook store page to private, most likely due to ween activity.

Chris was wearing the same Mark V medallion he was wearing in the Walmart photos.

Chesterfield Towne Center

CWCfoot

On 3 May 2023, for the third time in a row, Chris was spotted outside a Donatos Pizza at Chesterfield Towne Center in Chesterfield County, about 16 miles (25 km) north of the speculated Gateway Homes and over 2 miles (4 km) east of Battlegrounds. The photo was posted to Reddit by Pure_Lingonberry_677, who also claims his friend took the photo

This is the first sighting where Chris is aware that he is being photographed. Chris appears to be put off and even nervous, something uncharacteristic of him before the Jail Saga, though Chris could just be caught off-guard.

Also, the Sonichu medallion itself has also somehow turned its face towards the camera; whether this is due to Chris moving fast enough for the medallion to bounce naturally off of Chris, or that the medallion itself is possessed by the same forces set to bring about the Dimensional Merge is uncertain.

Earthbound Trading Co.

Chris, fitting in.

On 3 May 2023 a reddit user called sagehazes who works as a cashier mentioned in a comment on the Chesterfield Towne Center sighting thread that he or she had rung Chris up at the store where he or she works:

came into my store and signed the receipt "sonichu"

At the time sagehazes did not elaborate or provide evidence.

On 27 May 2023 sagehazes rang Chris up again, and on 29 May sagehazes rang him up a third time. That same day, sagehazes posted a picture of Chris in line at the register and a picture of his signature on a receipt. While the pictures on Reddit are from the 27 May sighting, sagehazes claims that he or she also took pictures during the 29 May sighting. It is unclear if those will be uploaded as well.

In the thread, sagehazes did not name the store but described it as "like a hippie/new age type store". One Reddit user identified the store as Earthbound Trading Co., a clothing and new age chain which has a location in Chesterfield Towne Center. Photographs of the mall store on Google Maps show that the store's ceiling matches the ceiling visible in sagehazes' photo.

According to sagehazes, Chris had been to the shop at least twice, once near the end of April and again on 27 May. His typical purchases were described as "usually jewelry and crystals". Chris was described as looking relatively normal but emitting an unhealthy odor:

it was definitely funky with a hint of shit

pure shit I had to breathe through my mouth very shallowly

Chris was also described as talking to himself while in the store.

What is notable in this sighting was that for the first time in eight years, Chris has dyed his hair, this time in a bright teal color. Also notable was the absence of the Sonichu medallion, presumably to avoid recognition by weens. On closer inspection, however, the back of a necklace can be seen on his neck, as well as what looks to be a bump in the shape of the medallion under his clothes, so it is likely he has simply hidden it under his shirt.

The signature reads "J. Christ Chan Sonichu", showing that Chris's Jesus delusions remain strong after being released from jail.

Modern Table Top Gaming

You are what you eat.

On 30 May 2023, a now-deleted reddit user Literally-poop spotted Chris playing Magic: The Gathering in an unspecified location and posted a photo of him to r/ChrisChanSonichu the same day. The Sonichu Medallion is once again presumably hidden under Chris's shirt.

User SaleneDreams identified the store as Modern Table Top Gaming in Chester, a community in eastern Chesterfield County. Photos of Modern Table Top Gaming on Google Maps confirm that the chairs and table in the store match those in the photo and that the framed picture behind Chris had been blacked out because it prominently displayed the store's name.
