A nationwide search is underway to find Kristopher.

Kristopher, who was last seen in 2000. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children have issued an alert to all law enforcement agencies in an effort to locate him.

Loesch, 37, and Hanson, 44, had warrants out for their arrest. They were charged with the murder of Loesch’s mother, Barbara Loesch. According to the Post Falls Police Department, the lovers fled the state in 2000.

The murder was carried out by a hitman, who dropped a plugged-in TV set into the hot tub where Barbara Loesch was relaxing. Detectives say the motive was Loesch's life insurance policy.
