In the first cam pic above looks like he is hushing his brother s dog, which in turn is very attentitve to someone (another dog? A person ? Another animal?
This may explain why the dog returned alone, not being held on leash it may have run after sth and then being alone, returned to its home

David is not familiar with the area, being from Georgia; he came to Hernando County, Florida to visit his brother Carl.

Coming upon a fallen tree is why the brother (Carl) left David and Snoopy (dog), wanting to return with a tractor to move it.

8:30 am David missing
10:04 trail cam sighting, walking south in woods near Batten Rd
10:58 game cam sighting at Batten Rd near Hayman
12:00 Snoopy came home, alone

David went up to a home in the neighborhood and said he was looking for a specific oak tree in an open field that looked up to the heavens to plant flowers near it. He was carrying wildflowers with his left arm.
(I am unsure of the time or location of this home)

One shoe, one sock and glasses were recovered near the first camera.
(I am unsure where this “first camera” is.)

Fox13 Tampa Bay article mentioning WeAreTheEssentials, a nonprofit search and recovery investigators group involved.

We Are The Essentials FB page, where info above was gathered from. Several posts there about missing person David Brown.

And the back of his shirt being ripped off, as seen in the video stills!

Everything about this case is so distressing.

The shirt rip looks very uniform, almost as if it was cut with scissors.

I have wondered if he does not want to be found; he just wants to be alone in nature. If that is the case, and they find him, does he have the legal right to do that? Or will they force him to the hospital?

I don't think so, you can see a torn piece of shirt hanging down in the still above, and he's got a wound on his arm.

I don't think he's been walking around for 12 days in heat indexes up to 103 F with stage 4 prostate cancer.

Red: Thank you. I had not seen that previously.

Blue: I was asking hypothetically, but there is a chance he is alive.
