Sightings (2025)

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, as doing so won't work well in your favor. On the off-chance that you cross paths with Chris, the most that you should do is get some kind of documentation of Chris, but never to directly engage with him.

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.

Since his release from jail in 2023, sightings of Chris have occurred in 2025. The sightings are particularly notable, given Chris's decline in terms of having an active online presence.

February

Pet & Aquatic Warehouse

On 14 February 2025, Chris and Flutter were spotted browsing at Pet & Aquatic Warehouse in Lynchburg. Observers have also noted that Chris doesn't stick out as much in these photos, as his fashion sense has become more conventional and less feminine than it was before his trips to Finland. He is wearing a nondescript black hoodie and baggy jeans, and his blue hair seems to be fading to a natural grayish color. He is still wearing his custom-painted shoes, however.

March

Food Lion

On 17 March 2025, Chris was allegedly spotted and photographed at a Food Lion. The photo wasn't shared publicly until 29 March 2025, when someone sent it to Reddit user lolcow-docs. However, due to the blurriness of the photo, it is unclear whether the person photographed is Chris.

April

Pasila, Helsinki, Finland

On 4 April 2025, Kiwi Farms user kotijopi made a post about allegedly seeing Chris in Finland a few days prior. He wrote:

Thought you spergs might want to know that I spotted Chris this wednesday in Helsinki, Pasila, in a small convience store, near the places where he has been spotted previously. He bought a bag of chips and a energy drink, nothing else special to mention. Wore thick black glasses but was definitely recognizable. To me it seems likely that he lives nearby.

Arnold's, Helsinki, Finland

On 17 April 2025, a user on the Finnish imageboard Ylilauta posted a photo of Chris and Flutter. The photo is of them eating at Arnold's, a coffee shop chain, which seems to be at Redi in Helsinki.

The next day, Villi_Vuohi gave additional details about the sighting in a conversation with an anonymous CWCki user:

Hey, I was wondering if you heard what Chris and Flutter said when you saw them.

Hello! They were talking to a cashier at the booth, clumsily trying to speak finnish but then asked for english. I dont remember the exact words but the voice was distinctly familiar. I dont think flutter said a word. I can ask my friends i was with, if they heard.

Thanks for answering! I have a few more questions 1. Did you hear Flutter's name? 2. Have you or your friends spotted Chris before? Do you know if Chris or Flutter is a resident of the town? 3. Can I post your responses to these questions on the CWCki?

1. No, none of us heard her speak, or chris speak to her. 2. Nope this was totally out of the blue for all of us, we had heard they were in finland but in assumed Helsinki. They were here probably for the international market. 3. Sure :3 Assumed in helsinki*

August

Walmart (August)

A cropped still from the recording.

On 13 August 2025, Chris and Flutter were spotted and briefly recorded shopping at the Old Forest Walmart in Lynchburg, VA by Kiwi Farms user BlockedByDaylight. The video that the user provided also results in the clearest image of Flutter's face to date.

I didn't know Chris Chan lived in my city until I saw him (her?) at my local Walmart today. Shocked the hell out of me. He had a lady with him but they were both very quiet.

Later that day, BlockedByDaylight commented:

I live in Virginia, maybe 30 minutes from Roanoke. I asked my buddies about him, and apparently people see him around town all the time, so I know he's lived in my city for quite a while. I didn't hear them say anything interesting, they were just grocery shopping. Nothing out of the ordinary. I didn't want to bother them so I recorded quickly then went on with my day. But if I see him again I'll keep you all updated if things change! I will say the only thing that really struck me as odd about them was that they kept looking around nervously, as if they were scared someone would recognize them or try to interact with them. You can even see in the video the lady kept glaring at me even though I had only been in their aisle for less than a minute.
