Missing Antelope Valley Man CHRISTOPHER MICHAEL BURKE

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Family members and law enforcement are asking for the public’s help in locating Christopher Michael Burke, a 36-year-old Antelope Valley resident who has been missing since June 30, 2026.

According to information released by the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station, Burke disappeared after being dropped off at a board-and-care home located southwest of downtown Los Angeles. Authorities say he never made it to the facility’s rear entrance.

Later that same day, Burke was reportedly seen about two blocks away at a store near Pico Boulevard and Magnolia Avenue, where he asked to use a phone to call his mother. The request was reportedly denied, and his whereabouts have remained unknown ever since.

Family members say Burke has a mental disability and may require immediate medical attention, increasing concern for his safety.
