Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: A Colorado mom dying of cancer is sharing her final plea to locate her son who was taken from his crib three decades ago. 
  
 "Of course, I would like to have him back," Bernice Abeyta, 73, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, told ABC News. "I've always felt very positive that even though it's been 30 years, it would happen. I think that's what kept me going in trying to find him. There's no way we were going to forget him." 
  
 She continued, "I'm trying to put vibes his way and say, 'OK Christopher, maybe it's time for you to find us.' "Maybe it's more convenient for him to find us than us find him. I believe that all of us parents need justice. There's a lot of forgiveness going around, but ask a parent if they'd forgive." 
  
 Christopher Abeyta was born Nov. 28, 1985, in Colorado Springs to Bernice and Gil Abeyta. 
  
 Abeyta described her son as a smart, happy baby who enjoyed making his family laugh. 
  
 "He really was a doll," she said. "He was very entertaining. He would do funny things and if we laughed, he would do it again because he knew he was getting some attention." 
  
 On the night of July 15, 1986, when he was just 7 months old, Christopher disappeared from his crib. Christopher was the youngest of seven children.

 Abeyta realized Christopher was missing the following morning, Abeyta's daughter Denise Alves told ABC News. 
  
 Alves, now 45, was 15 years old when the incident occurred. On the night of his disappearance, Alves recalled her family sitting in the living room while Christopher laughed at his sister who was smelling a bouquet of roses, while pretending to sneeze. 
  
 Alves said she gave Christopher his bottle before she and her mother laid him down in his crib. The next day, he was gone. 
  
 "It changed her forever," Alves said of her mother. "It makes me sad to remember seeing her the days after Christopher went missing when she was curled up crying saying, 'I need my baby.' After the days turned into weeks and we still didn’t have Christopher back, I saw her get up every single day and follow up on leads searching for answers. She was so desperate, and even with the seemingly limited results of her hard work I never heard her say she would quit searching."

 The Colorado Springs Police Department investigated Christopher's disappearance while Abeyta worked with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. She would also pass out flyers with Christopher's photo across her community. 
  
 "When I look at everything she did, it is absolutely amazing," Alves said. "One time, a sighting came in from another state and she got in the car and drove to the state. By the time the police had started to investigate, she had already checked it out and confirmed it was not Christopher. I am a mom now, and I can’t even imagine not knowing. She awoke to an empty crib and her baby was gone, then suspicion swirled around her. Through it all she continued to search for her son, even when it appeared local law enforcement had given up. She never once passed up an interview about my brother." 
  
 Tips came in over the years, but none lead to any breakthroughs in Christopher's case, Alves said. 
  
 Lt. Howard Black, public information officer of the Colorado Springs Police Department, told ABC News that the case of Christopher Abeyta is an ongoing, active investigation that is being worked through the cold case unit of homicide and missing persons. A person of interest has been named in the case, he said.

 Today, Bernice Abeyta is fighting a rare gallbladder cancer. 
  
 In May 2016, Alves said her mother was told her life expectancy was four to eight months. 
  
 "She is dying, she knows it, we know it," Alves said. "She's in the room as I'm talking and it's sad, but this is the reality. Maybe the answer isn't what we hoped for, that he's alive, but she'll leave knowing and we can be at peace and finally put him to rest." 
  
 Abeyta said her one wish is for any person who has information about the disappearance of Christopher to come forward. 
  
 "What these people did to us was beyond cruel," she said. "At this point [with my cancer] usually you'd be like, 'Oh my goodness, cancer, I'm dying,' but Christopher was the number priority," she added. "I would reassure him that we love him no matter what, no matter who he is. We are still going to be looking. I was always positive that we were going to find him." ||||| Jury rules against family of missing boy 
  
 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A jury has ruled in favor of a woman who says she was defamed by the family of a boy who went missing in 1986. 
  
 Christopher Abeyta was taken from his crib when he was 7 months old. He would be 30 years old now. 
  
 "At our age we're like 'will we find him before we die?' And that's a really, really hard thing," said Bernice Abeyta, mother. 
  
 The family believes Emma Bradshaw, Gil Abeyta's former mistress, is responsible for their son's disappearance. Police have never named her as a suspect but the family says they haven't given up. 
  
 "You don't forget it. It's very clear, it's engraved in your mind and you remember a lot of details," said Gil Abeyta, father. 
  
 In 2013, Bradsaw filed a lawsuit saying emails to her boss and Facebook posts from Christoper's sister Denise Alvez, defamed her. 
  
 The complaint said Bradshaw had been damaged and defamed, and that Alvez's accusations invaded her privacy and damaged her, causing mental and emotional distress and loss of a job. 
  
 Thursday in court, a jury awarded Bradshaw $150,000 in damages. The jury ruled in favor of the emails but not the Facebook posts. 
  
 "I'm disappointed that the jury felt as though I may have harmed her for anything in the verdict but I'm glad that the Facebook posts were not defamatory," said Alvez. 
  
 The Abeyta's had filed a counter claim, which the jury rejected. The family says although they're disappointed by the decision, they're glad it's put the case back in the spotlight. 
  
 "Although it didn't come out the way we wanted it too, it's the best we could have got. But that doesn't mean we're going to stop looking for our son," said Gil. 
  
 Detectives continue to investigate the nearly three-decades-long mystery. They Abeyta's both took lie detector tests years ago. Bernice Abeyta failed. 
  
 "Can you imagine you're a mother and you're trying to find your son and because of you not passing this, there's people out looking? This isn't right for Christopher, we need to put the attention back on him," said Bernice. 
  
 The family says investigators are still receiving tips about this case. ||||| By Kathy Walsh 
  
 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) – For 30 years, a mother in Colorado Springs has been grieving for her missing child. Now, she has a dying wish. 
  
 Bernice Abeyta has terminal cancer. Before she dies, she wants to know what happened to her baby boy. 
  
 “When Christopher disappeared it was like I lost my future,” said Abeyta. 
  
 She’s been clinging to the past. Her baby boy, Christopher, was just seven months old in July, 1986 when he disappeared from Colorado Springs. His parents say he was snatched from his crib in their bedroom in the middle of the night. 
  
 “My parents both said their greatest fear was they wouldn’t have answers before they died,” said Abeyta’s daughter, Denise Alves. 
  
 Those fears may be realized. Abeyta has incurable cancer. Christopher’s kidnapping remains a cold case with no named suspects and no new clues. 
  
 “I plea with them to come forward now so that my mom can have some peace,” said Alves. 
  
 In an age progression image of what Christopher might look like today, he resembles his siblings. Abeyta has raised six children. She’s ready for what comes next. 
  
 “I’ve done what I had to do in life and so I’m okay,” Abeyta said. 
  
 While she may never know what happened to baby Christopher, she believes in justice. 
  
 “They’re going to have to face the facts someday that they didn’t help the parent of a missing child find their child and they’re going to have to pay for that,” said Abeyta. 
  
 There is a $100,000 reward in the case for information that leads to an arrest.

In May, 73-year-old Bernice Abeyta was given less than eight months to live, dying from a rare form of cancer, ABC News reports. Before that happens, she says she wants closure on the baby who disappeared from his crib 30 years ago in Colorado. Abeyta says searching for her son Christopher, who was 7 months old the last time his family saw him in 1986, is "what kept me going." She tells CBS Denver that losing Christopher was "like I lost my future." Her daughter, Denise Alves, says her mother's "greatest fear" is dying without knowing what happened to her baby. "It changed her forever," Alves tells ABC. Abeyta tells Fox 21 that she still pictures daily what it would be like to see Christopher again. Alves says her mother has been tirelessly searching for Christopher ever since she woke up one morning to find his crib in her room empty. "Maybe the answer isn't what we hoped for, that he's alive, but she'll leave knowing, and we can be at peace and finally put him to rest," Alves tells ABC. While Abeyta says she still wants justice for Christopher, her cancer diagnosis has given her some perspective. "It was a good life," she tells Fox. "It was one very very horrible, horrendous thing that happened to us." She plans on recording a message for Christopher in case he's found after she's gone. Police had a person of interest in the case but never made any arrests. Abeyta, who failed a lie detector test in the wake of Christopher's disappearance, was successfully sued for defamation after accusing her husband's mistress, KRDO reports.
