UPDATE (2/18/2023) — Christian Saulter-Williams was found safe in another city over four weeks since he first disappeared.

Christian Saulter-Williams, who suffers from a medical condition, was last seen on Jan. 24 at the Haltom City Public Library.

"It's hard to believe that no one has had any verbal communication with him for 17 days, and we are very worried," said Avis Williams, Christian's mother.  "It's hard to believe that he has disappeared into thin air."

Saulter-Williams, who left home the afternoon of Jan. 18, has had no history of running away, according to his parents.

"We consider this search to be urgent simply because he hasn't had his medication for an extended length of time," Williams said.

The search became more desperate in early February as below freezing temperatures and freezing rain covered North Texas.

Saulter-Williams graduated from Grapevine High School in 2010 and went on to the University of North Texas, where he earned a degree in radio, television and film.

His family said he enjoys visiting local coffee shops and creating animations and other videos.

Williams said she and her husband have been putting up flyers and running down tips that have come in via social media, scouting areas in Watauga, Haltom City, North Richland Hills, and Grapevine.  

Saulter-Williams has black hair and brown eyes. He is 6 feet tall and 220 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black a gray beanie and a red and black checkered flannel-type shirt. He was wearing dark-colored sweat pants and black tennis shoes with white soles.
