Man Who Had Been Missing For 10 Years Found In Backyard Of Own Home
Christopher Hollins, 29, who was missing for nearly 10 years, returned to his home in Springfield three days ago. The man was found naked in the backyard of his home. According to Hollins, he was being used as an object of medical experiments.Hollins saysÂ that 10 years ago, while walking from his house to a shop, he was stopped by a mysterious person in a long coat. The person spoke with a mesmerizing voice, handed him a small pill, and persuaded to swallow it. Next thing Hollins remembers is waking up in an empty room with lots of lights.âI spent ten years in this room, almost never getting out,â he says. âI was listening, though. Sometimes they thought I couldnât hear them, but I did. They were designing robotic humans with artificial intelligence and they used me as a model. The whole of humankind is in danger!âÂ Hollins thinks thatÂ he was kidnapped by a governmental organization, although he is not able to indicate the exact place where he was kept, but thinks it was for sure somewhere in Washington.Hollinsâ mother confessed her son used to be a great fan of science-fiction shows, especiallyÂ Battlestar Galactica. He only watched one season of BSG and then disappeared, but doctors say itâs possible he got inspired by the series and believed people were really trying to create cylons â intelligent robots looking just like humans.âIt was a good show, yeah, and very convincing. For some time heÂ thought IÂ was a cylon,â said Mary Hollins, Christopherâs mother. âHeÂ definitely got really into it. Iâm not going to lie â we looked for him went he went missing, but he was 19. Police didnât care much about an âadult runaway.â After a few weeks, we stopped looking. It was easier to pretend we had no son than it was to think we had a son who was a huge nerd.âDoctors checked Hollinsâs medical state, and concluded that he is generally fine, but believe that his entire story is completely fictional.âFrom what we can tell, he was never out of the backyard at all, which is weird, because police would have normally checked there first,â said Dr. Honus Wagner. âAt any rate, there is a small shed in the backyard of the Hollinsâ home, and we think that Christopher probably just got himself locked in there, and survived by eating small rodents and neighborhood animals that wandered in. To be quite honest, itâs not as uncommon of a thing as you might think.ââIâm just glad to be home,â said Christopher. âIs Battlestar Galactica still on?â
