GARFIELD COUNTY, Colo. (KKTV) - Authorities in Colorado are hoping for help from the public in tracking down a man wanted for failure to appear tied a vehicular homicide case.
The Garfield County Sheriff's Office shared photos of Cody Boutwell Christopher to social media on Tuesday. Pictures of the suspect are at the top of this article.
Christopher has a felony arrest warrant for “Failure to Appear at his Sentencing Hearing” in September of 2019. He was convicted on two counts of vehicular homicide.
If you know where he is, or have information on his location, call Investigator Korthals with the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office at (970) 456-2203.

Thoughts? Based on the above article, Christopher was still at large at least as of March 3rd, 2020. Also here is an excerpt from an article back in September 2019 giving further details on this case:
"Christopher was convicted of vehicular homicide for crashing a Ford Excursion while intoxicated Dec. 29, 2017, killing Matt Smith, then 41, and Trent Johnson, then 36.
Johnson’s son, then 10 years old, was severely injured in the crash.
In his testimony at the trial, Christopher maintained that he was not drunk at the time of the crash, but drank heavily after hiking from the site of the crash, along Puma Paw Road north of Rifle, to a ranch house with the 10-year-old survivor."

Obviously a jury didn't buy Christopher's story which in my opinion makes absolutely no sense. Who drinks right after getting into an accident- where if you were sober- you would have to realize at the very least the crash seriously injured two of your friends? I don't think suddenly drinking alcohol is a typical reaction to such an event.
This is simply a man running from responsibility, who should have never been allowed to be free before sentencing in the first place. I hope if and when Christopher is finally caught, the judge gives him a harsher sentence than originally intended.
