On Jan. 9, 1982, Lynette Dawson, a 33-year-old wife and mother of two little girls, went missing and she has never been seen since.

Chris has steadfastly maintained his innocence, saying the mother of his children, Shanelle, then 4, and Sherryn, 2, simply ran away.

At the time, Chris, a school teacher, was having an affair with his student Joanne Curtis.
