“BRAYMER, Mo. — A Braymer, Missouri, man has been charged in connection to the disappearance of two Wisconsin brothers north of the metro. But officials still don’t know where the two brothers are.
Garland Nelson, 25, has been charged with tampering with a motor vehicle, a first-degree felony, in Caldwell County. The charge stems from the search for 35-year-old Nick Diemel and 24-year-old Justin Diemel.
Court documents say on Sunday morning, the Diemel brothers left a Quality Inn off I-35 in Cameron, Missouri, and drove to an address on Catawba Road in Braymer where Nelson operates his farm.
A few hours later, the truck’s GPS information shows it leaving the farm. It’s later seen on surveillance footage in Polo, and there is no one in the passenger seat.
Just before 1 p.m. that day, the truck pulls into a commuter lot in Holt, Missouri, which is where officials would later find it on Monday, empty with the keys in the ignition.
Court documents say when investigators questioned Nelson he admitted to leaving the rental truck at the commuter lot.

At this time, he’s not in police custody, but there’s a warrant out for his arrest.
If you have any information, you’re asked to call Clinton County CrimeStoppers at 816-632-TIPS.“ (BBM)
