The face-tattooed punk accused of kidnapping a billionaire tech bossâs non-binary daughter dropped out of Christian School to become a whacked-out drug addict, ex-pals say.
Christopher Dizefalo, 26, was discovered by San Francisco cops in the back of a van with another adult and 16-year-old Mint Butterfield, child of Slack founder Stewart Butterfield, last weekend â landing him in jail on felony charges.
Butterfield was reported missing a few days earlier and was âquasi datingâ Dizefalo, Marin County Sheriffâs Office told The Post â which those who know him say is a very bad idea.
âHe always seemed to be on something,â says former friend Julio Ferrera, who says he lost touch with DiZefalo during the pandemic.
âAnd then he got mad skinny, like he wasnât eating at all. He showed up one time to my house to borrow an old phone and he looked like a skeleton. I was like âbro, you okay?â He was high. I donât know what he was on, but it wasnât good. He was in trouble.â
Dizefalo sported a face tattoo of a scythe and overgrown stubble for his initial appearance at Marin County Superior Court Wednesday, where he was officially charged with kidnapping.
He was due to enter a plea Friday, but after falling ill the matter was continued until Monday.
Dizefalo will be held in jail until that time. Separately an arrest warrant was issued for Sarah Atkins, the other person found in the van where Dizefalo was apparently living.
Despite a good start in life, coming from a middle-class family from El Cajon, California, and attending Foothills Christian High School, Dizefalo started taking narcotics in his teens and got worse from there, ex-pals claim.
