Details of Disappearance

Cole's son dropped him off at his cousin's house in Ocie, Missouri on May 21, 2019, and this was the last time his immediate family saw him. A neighbor saw him walking on the Big Creek Bridge on Stehle Road in Taney County, Missouri afterwards. He has never been heard from again.

It wasn't uncharacteristic of him to walk for long distances in the area and be out of touch with friends and family during his trips, but he's never been out of contact with his loved ones for this long. His case remains unsolved.
