Mr Christianos, who was sometimes also known as John Christie, had been living at Gaynor Lodge, on Warrigal Road in East Bentleigh when he vanished.
After he went missing, there was no activity detected on his bank account, Centrelink account, telephone records, Medicare account or car registration.
He had left all his possessions at home and had made no preparations to leave. His car and motorcycle have never been found.

In May 2011, Coroner Kim Parkinson found Mr Christianos was most likely dead, but could not ascertain the cause.
The inquest found that the death most likely occurred on or around June 11 in 2011 at an unknown location.
Mr Christianos was the eldest of three children and was described as "psychologically fragile" by the Coroner.
"[He] reported to police and ambulance officers shortly prior to his disappearance that he suffered bipolar manic disorder," the inquest finding reads.
