The bizarre disappearance of Chris Mittendorf and Kristina Branum

By all accounts, Christopher Mittendorf and Kristina Branum were a happy young couple living in Hardin County, Tennessee. On July 27, 2006, twenty-one-year-old Mittendorf went shopping with Branum, his 17-year-old fiancee.

Although the couple was living together, they did not have a place of their own, and were staying with Mittendorf’s mother, Cheryl Flatt. When Flatt returned to her apartment later that day, she discovered the clothes the two had purchased on their shopping trip were laid out on a bed.

But Mittendorf and Branum had vanished.

Their vehicle – a dark green 1994 Geo Prism – was found unlocked and abandoned near a pond in Lawrence County, Tennessee, five days later. Lawrence County is about fifty or sixty miles from their home. Inside the car was a cell phone, along with some personal belongings.

A witness reported seeing Mittendorf and Branum climb into a white car, leaving the Prism behind. The couple hasn’t been spotted since.

The only lead in the case came from Mittendorf’s mother, who found a lockbox filled with items belonging to career criminal George Baugus in the couple’s room. She wondered if her son and his fiancee might have stolen the items, bringing the wrath of Baugus upon themselves. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a single mention of what was in the mysterious lockbox, but I’m guessing it wasn’t millions of dollars.

If the couple had issues with Baugus, they weren’t the only ones. The guy’s own wife murdered him in 2010, before he revealed what – if anything – he knew about the missing couple.

Since then, both families have suffered through numerous rumours about their missing loved ones, including tales that Mittendorf and Branum were caught up with a “drug mafia” – whatever that is. The parents don’t know what to believe; they just want the truth about what happened to their missing children.

The lockbox is a mystery, but why would a young couple steal from a career criminal? How would they have even gotten the opportunity? And why did they get into a car with someone that presumably meant to do them harm? Was it someone they knew? Was a gun involved? (And why are these vehicles always white? The only surprise here is that it wasn’t a van.)

It’s been nearly ten years since Mittendorf and Branum went missing. Someone out there knows what happened to them – maybe it’s you.

What do you think happened to the couple? Do you think Baugus had anything to do with it? Any guesses as to what was in the lockbox?

    So young. They certainly don’t look like they were involved in drugs or with a criminal. Weird.

      They were very much so involved in drugs and with the criminal. I was friends with them and we were all involved in drugs at that time. It breaks my heart that they never got to experience sober life with me.

    The new clothes they bought laid out on the bed freaks me out. They returned home then something happened – were they interrupted? If so, by whom? How – phone, someone at the door? So many questions. Those poor families.

      Agreed, and they apparently drove their Prism to that remote location, so was the white car following them? Was someone threatening them? Were they directed to go there for some reason?

    Eish! as we say here in South Africa … or ‘ish’ or yikes or blooming hell… It’s my bet that Baugus did them in and his wife found out and did him in … or maybe the wife did them all in …how closely has she been questioned … what does she know about the box …

    Perhaps the couple found the lockbox to be empty when George Baugus asked them to return it from holding it for him for a modest sum. Baugus told them to meet him when they called him letting him know. He took revenge upon them. The nosey mother had taken the contents. An alternate explanation. Only the Father knows for sure. Sad and mysterious. Another excellent post. 🙂

          He was a scary guy to be around. Even back then the rumor was that he killed them over stolen dope and hid them in those hills around his house out in Olive Hill. Sad,sad situation for those kids cause you never know. I was using back then and found myself in his house on a couple of occasions and I was always scared of him…He gave off a bad vibe and made me so nervous. I’m sure the drug use didn’t help that situation.

    You know how much I love these! I’m going to guess that it had something to do with drugs. That would be something that would compel a couple to climb into a car with someone. I wonder if the man whose wife shot him drove a white car?

    Reply
    • JH

      Good question, Stephanie. I’m guessing if the car had been similar to Baugus’s, a stronger connection would have been made than Christopher’s mom’s say-so. It’s odd that there was no sign of drug use before the couple went missing, but perhaps they hid it well.

      Very sad, in any case.

      Kristina is my sister. Some of the people commenting seem to have forgotten that this “story” is about actual people and the family is going through tragedy and heartbreak. They just see entertainment value in a good story. Please be considerate in your comments because family members of victims see these too. Let me make her more real for you. Kris is the baby of the family. Her birthday is December 30th. She was only 17 when she disappeared. She wanted to go into the army when she graduated but she never got to do either. She was a warm, loving girl. 2 days before she disappeared we were sitting on my couch discussing baby names because I was pregnant with her nephew. Our father changed careers when she disappeared. He now trains search and rescue dogs so that maybe he can help a family who is searching for a loved one. Please be considerate.

Everyone believes that he did murder them. But there is no evidence or anything to back this up. Praying that these families finally can get closure and get answers that they deserve!

    I believe they are dead. They were interrupted since they left the clothes on the bed. They were looking at what they bought which we do. Someone was at the door and told them they better get in the car or else. They were young, stupid kids who got in over their heads. It probably has something to do with that box but the cops keep that part quiet due to the ongoing investigation. The sad thing is they were probably killed for something truly stupid and not worth a ton of money.

    I am astounded by how people can just disappear completely in today’s world. It sounds as if this young couple stumbled into something they couldn’t handle. They probably thought they were safe since they were together, but they weren’t. There’s been a lot of news stories lately about couples being killed together when going to meet someone from Craig’s List, let alone a career criminal!

    I hadn’t heard about them. Just depressing the way they disappeared like that. It doesn’t make sense, so I guess that’s why people might blame drug connections or something else the couple may have been secretly into. (And surely if it was Baugus and they’d stolen from him, he’d have gotten his stuff back before he killed them. Wouldn’t have just left it for the police to find.)

      Yes, good point, Lexa. “Wondering who’s responsible? Here I am – it is I, the career criminal. Just check out my lockbox.”

      It was told that they tore down Mr. Baugus house last year while looking for Holly Bobo and found remains under the floor. His son then sued the county to have his house rebuilt. Sharon the wife who killed him supposedly help get rid of these kids! It needs to be investigated farther. His son or daughter may know something. One of his long time criminal buddies was arrested last year Bar – T is what they call him.. they should press on him for information. Hardin county is a joke..

    I’m actually from the town this incident happened in. If I’m not mistaken the body’s were found and it most definitely had to do with drugs. Baugus’s wife killed him out of self defense. The story I heard on that was she had been tied to a tree and beat. When she finally got loose she shot him. The man involved in these incidents I had heard about my whole life and was told by many to stay away from him. He was a very dangerous man.

    I’m from Savannah, Tn. I went to elementary and middle school with Kristina. We lived in the same apartment complex. My brother was friends with Chris. My mom was friends with Kristina’s mom, Janet. This is the most tragic thing that can happen to a parent. My brothers have told me stories of that evil man. And from what I hear, he had bragged, while under the influence, that they had stole drugs and money from him, so he got rid of them. Pure evil! Thank the wife, she rid this world of a monster!

I heard that after she shot him they found the bodies of the young couple in the well on his property! It’s truly sad that a grown man felt big and bad because of what he supposedly done to them and was bragging about it! To me that’s a coward why would you brag that you “offed” a young couple that had so much life to live?

    I had not seen them in years when this happened! I went to school with her and never deemed a he would be involved with Baugus but the way it sounds she, he, or both was! However I have heard so many rumors about this that there could have been anything in that lockbox! I’ve heard it was drugs and a few other personal belongings, heard it was guns and amo, etc. I heard they accidentally took the lockbox but I also heard he ripped them off and they stole it to get back at him! That man scared the pee out of me so Idk, what I do know is they was so young and didn’t deserve whatever may have happened to them!!

      Kristina was/is apart of our family(Her brother is married to our daughter, yes they were killed by Bad Egg, but no evidence tied him to it, and yes he bragged about killing them, her brother was searching for theem and we were warned that if we didn’t leave it alone that two more kids in our family would go missing never to be found, we kept on looking, and then her brother was murdered here in town. but we have all been searching for answers, the shirif at that time and still now was a cousin to Bad Egg’s wife, and everyone thinks that’s why he never investigated, these two young kids might have done something illegal, but that didn’t give him or anyone else the right to take their lives. We would love to know the truth, and have profound evidence that that is what happened, not just go on these cops words, they had her brother who wasn’t a cop going out to bad eggs place investigating and telling them what he had found, dirty cops, that did not wont trouble for them.I pray that the parents get their closer soon. Praying for all that is involved.

    I was a substitute teacher back when Kristina was in middle school. I knew her as a sweet girl with a lot going on that made things hard for her. She would talk with me during class, and I grew very fond of her. It still breaks my heart that no one will actually come forth and tell what happened to these children, to the authorities. Bad Egg is dead, and can do nothing now to stop anyone from telling the truth.

    Distasteful. Your storys about a mysterious lockbox, a heartless thriller. That was my brother. If this story gets wrote it’s by family. By the person he would want to tell his story…. his sister. She’s a writer, sweetly poetic he call her. Violet

      Sorry to hear you find it distasteful, Tim. My intention in telling these stories is to try and find some answers for the families. So far, this post has been shared over 1000 times–you never know who might see it and come forward with new information. Trust me, I’m far from heartless. I only do this because I care. My blog isn’t monetized, and I don’t write non-fiction–there’s no profit in it for me to cover these stories at all. I’m volunteering my time and my 20+ years of journalism experience.

      This blog post should in no way hinder Violet from telling her version. If Chris truly was your brother, I’m deeply sorry for your loss.

    Truth is Tim Chris’s brother stoled the box from Egg, Chris over heard Egg say he was gonna kill who ever got the box and Chris got scared. He ask Chris and Christina to take it back that they were kids and Egg wouldn’t hurt them. Well, Egg and his wife killed them. During the killing of Chris, Egg yelled at his son and said” Boy, you gonna let these mother fuckers steal from your daddy, get your ass over hear and defend me boy” Eggs son heald Chris’s boy down until he stopped flipping around as it was told to me. Eggs wife helped kill Christina, she was sitting in the car waiting and after chris didnt return after a shirt while she went to the door an knocked, Eggs bitch opened the door and drug her in the house and began beating Christina in the face and then Egg k locked her brains out with the same rock he killed Chris with! The rock Egg used to prop his door open with! There was 6 people there in that house that didnt lift a finger to help these kids. One of them was Tim, Chris’s brother, that’s right people. Tim let Chris die over something he did to Egg not Chris and watched Egg kill him, how freaking sorry is that! Jeff Shelby knows everything, he was there too!!! Egg made everyone there take part in burning the bodies and getting rid of evidence so they would be accessory to murder and snitch on his ass. A man and a woman there drove the car to the location it was found.
    It took 2 days to burn the bodies and they even set the woods on fire behind Eggs house. Fire trucks tried to get through the gate but Egg threatened them and would let them in and guess what? The County cops called on scene by the fire department wouldn’t make Egg open the gate, fishy as hell!! What was left of the bodies, Egg instructed one of the 6 to get rid of this shit ( Kids teeth and bones that didnt burn).. He told the guy to dump the remains in the creek at gator rock but guess what, the guy buried the remains across and down the road from Eggs.
    Someone need to question Jeff Shelby from Savannah

    JW heard the same story I was told by Eggs Wife personally.
    But truth is that Shannon killed Egg because she thought she would inherit all the property of his, not knowing it was in trust to his son, that she was having an affair with.
    She did the TV shows to actually buy back the property later & sell at a profit after she went back to the woods to dig up valuable things long hidden.

    She planned Eggs murder for 3 yrs. And she was involved in the cover up of the kids murder…if indeed it happened as told BY HER.

    But Egg is dead. And she got away with everything. Why is that?
