FL FL - David Brown, 69, was walking with dog in the woods, the dog came home w/o him, seen w/o shoes on video, Brooksville, 13 Aug 2024

[FansBlowing]

This guy has been missing in the woods/swamp since August 13, over a month. If there are no carrion birds flying around, then he is in a body of water or has gotten a ride or taken in by someone.

It’s amazing that despite all efforts they have not found him, as in his condition (last stage of prostate cancer) he could not walk far. I also really wonder if anyone has taken him, but for what reason ??

 

[FansBlowing]

He is from Georgia and was just visiting his brother in Florida. Depending on what drugs he is on for his cancer, this could give him memory lapses. Plus he is missing his glasses. If he is extremely near sighted, then he is just walking around blindly. He might be trying to get home to Georgia and has no idea why or how he ended up in Florida. My guess would be, if he is not dead, that he ran into someone who is now trying to help him get home and they have no idea that his family is looking for him.

I hope so too, but he was without shoes and sock(s) and with his tshirt teared up, and a cut on his arm. I suppose they checked hospitals…If anyone has picked him up, the normal reflex would be either a hospital, doctor or police station IMO
Let’s hope he is really safe somewhere

I wonder what happened that he became shoeless, sockless, with a severely torn shirt and a cut on his arm.

Climbed over a fence or a tree and snagged his shirt?

So odd. Poor man.

At last some more details on what happened when David went missing !!!

https://www.newsnationnow.com/missing/david-brown-missing/

…
One of the things David Brown wanted to do with his brother was visit an oak tree on the family’s 194-acre property. The tree had limbs that stretched up to the heavens and Brown and his brother had prayed there on a previous visit.

When the pair went out in a golf cart, they found a fallen tree across the trail. Brown’s brother went to get some equipment to move the tree.
..
….when he was seen on that cam, he’s missing his glasses,” Croft said. “The glasses, one of his shoes and one of his socks were found in that location of the initial trail cam.”

There was a barbed wire fence nearby and bloodhounds tracked Brown’s movements there. Investigators believe he climbed under the fence, ripping his shirt. They found dog hair caught in the fence as well.

Brown made his way off the family property and wandered over to a neighboring house, where he stopped to ask for directions to the tree.

Amy Brown hopes her husband may be lost somewhere in a homeless camp, in a place where someone will be able to help him find his way back home.

“I think he got a ride. He is a salesman and he can sell ice to an Eskimo and so he may have convinced somebody to help him,”

Well climbing under the barbed wire fence can explain the mark on his arm that a poster previously thought was a dog bite. Could also explain the lack of shoe and the shirt rip.

Dog hair caught on the fence as well corroborates them climbing under a fence. Pretty athletic for a man of his age and his condition.

It's David's 70th birthday in two days. It would be wonderful if he was found by then.

Happy Birthday David.
I hope you are safe.

So so very sad. My husband's cousin had dementia, and was in a VA in California. He managed to leave somehow and many days later we found out that he had been in a homeless encampment. Well, he would walk for miles, more than 20, in a day and not remember to eat and unfortunately this is what happened to him. People living there called authorities who brought him to a hospital, and he died of malnutrition. So sad.

Can someone summarize this update please, and what day it is from?

It was aired just before Oct 6. Information we've heard before --

Was walking to the tree. A different tree had fallen across the path so he was left there while a Bobcat, I think, was brought back to remove the fallen tree, but David and his dog were nowhere to be found. Was seen several times on cameras. Lost his glasses, a shoe and sock. Shirt was torn, probably as he climbed under a barbed wire fence, a tuft of fur recovered from that fence was matched to the dog. Last time he was seen (potential sighting), he said he was lost. 2.5 miles from his brother's property.

The dog returned without him.

How does a person just disappear?

His family's pain is palpable. Heartbreaking.

From around 15:28 of the NewsNation video

[Marni Hughes, NewsNation] What about brother who was with him prior to him vanishing what did he say about his mental state of mind?

[David’s wife] Um, David was confused um he uh suffers from bipolar disorder and he had um taken himself off of his medication uh when he found out he had cancer. I did not, I was not aware of this, and so I started to see some signs of that manic state um coming on, and I that's when I decided to maybe taking him to see his brother.
We could hit a reset button um you know, because he was clearly under a lot of stress uh being at home trying to finish a home that we were building, and um you know, dealing with the cancer.

====

I wasn’t aware he had bipolar disorder. And that he stopped taking his meds for it.
