<<Brewer was a father to three, including one who passed away at a young age from a medical condition. His mother continues praying for a proper burial for her son.

“I just wish we could at least, if he’s dead, find his body you know and put it with the rest of the family and his little boy so I can have closure and go to talk to him and know he’s there.”

Brewer was last known to be driving a silver Ford Ranger with a step side bed and was with a man named Daniel Braden, who investigators say was known as Shawn and had ties to Florida.>>
