Chris was camping with his step dad and one other sibling. Chris had a "few drinks of beer" then went to the river to go swimming alone. He was last seen at 7:30 and LE was called at 10 pm. As a Boy Scout, one of the first things they teach is to NEVER go swimming alone. They use a buddy system and constantly preach this to the kids.
What struck me about the mother's interview was her statement that Chris was "pouty" and "mopes" when he doesn't get his way. Who says this about their missing child? That's just really odd. She talks like she is under some kind of influence, perhaps she was hysterical and was given something to calm her down.
I hope that Chris is OK and trying to make his way out of the woods. The beer thing is troubling. When someone says "a few drinks" they usually mean a lot more than that.
