Details of Disappearance

Bryant was last seen in Bossier City, Louisiana on February 26, 2023. He left his home in Garrison, Texas and went to the Margaritaville casino in Bossier City to meet up with friends. At about 4:00 a.m. he spoke to his friends on the phone, saying he'd arrived and was looking for directions to park near the casino. He never went inside, however.

Someone in the local area had called police to report a suspicious white man walking down the road carrying a gun. The Bossier City police who responded to the call saw Bryant in the parking lot and attempted to talk to him, but he ran from them. After a foot chase the police lost Bryant in the vicinity of the Red River. He has never been heard from again.

A few days later, his mother found his blue Hyundai Elantra parked at the casino; there was no sign of Bryant. A photo of the car is posted with this case summary. Bryant was reported missing on March 1.

At the time of his disappearance, Bryant was facing drug and weapons charges in Texas, which may explain while he ran from police. His mother does not believe he is a fugitive from justice and thinks he could have met with foul play. His case remains unsolved.
