Corpus Christi man still missing after two weeks - Video

• BB's family is distraught; he has been missing for two weeks
• A tow truck driver found BB's vehicle down a dirt road that ends on the coast inside of an RV Park right off of N.A.S. drive.
• The words, “Grandma, my dad didn't come home,” were the beginning of a nightmare for KW (BB's mom). BB has a 16-year-old daughter.
  
• She said he left to go fishing around 10 p.m. on August 18th.
• Previously her son has gone away maybe a couple of days at a time but nothing like this.
• “But I would always hear from him, but this time is different,” she said. “I have not heard from him. He is a mama's boy he stays in contact with me. Texts me, calls me. Even if he says, 'Mom, I messed up,' you know whatever.”
• She said when they found his abandoned car she was told the car was locked and the hood was up. LE has searched the vehicle.
• “We opened everything up there is no foul play, but all his fishing gear was in there,” she said.
• BB sometimes goes by his middle name, Cy.
• KW said the U.S. Coast Guard has been notified and CCPD will be out in the area on Tuesday searching with a drone.

• Not long before he disappeared, his daughter also moved here to live with her dad.

• MC has created a Facebook page called 'Help find Bradley Brooks.'
• The family asks anyone with information to reach out to them on the Facebook page or contact police at 888-TIPS.

Very glad to hear this!

• Texas EquuSearch was called in by the Corpus Christi Police Department. Brooks' family also sought help from TXEQ after weeks of searching on their own.
• Wednesday was the first day they were in town to look for Brooks.
• Brooks moved to Corpus Christi to live with his girlfriend two months before he disappeared and brought his daughter to town to live with him the day before.
  
• Brooks' mother said, "He just wouldn't leave his daughter like that. there's no way. and the other thing is he always stays in contact with me. Always."
• TXEQ centered its effort today with close to twenty team members searching within a two-mile radius of where BB's vehicle was found.
• "I had a boat in the water doing shorelines that I could do. We did a lot of stuff on ATVs, foot searching," Tim Miller, founder and director of TXEQ.
• According to Miller, there's no evidence of foul play or anything to indicate that Brooks left the area on his own.
• Miller said that the TXEQ team planned to meet with CCPD detectives on Thursday to talk about plans for expanding their search.

Happy TxEq is having a go at searching. None better ! Don't see anything new anywhere. Anyone else turn up anything to go with ? Lord you can't even go fishing by your lonesome anymore. That's a sad sad shame. And all these men out solo and all that is found is the vehicle. Seems predatory behavior to me. Even if there's no signs of foul play wouldn't that be suspicious to LE ?! Too many and too much distance between I guess to form a pattern. Bugging the crap out of me MOO

— It has now been 281 days since Brooks was last seen at his Flour Bluff home back in August 2019. His family said the 36-year-old had just bought bait and was heading out to do some late night fishing around 10 p.m. No one ever saw or heard from him again. Brooks has now been entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System

His vehicle was later found abandoned at the end of a dirt road off of NAS Drive. Since then, a team of volunteers, along with EquiSearch, have worked to bring him home, but no answers yet.

Army Veteran Buck Chapman, who is Brooks' brother-in-law, took to Facebook Live to read two letters. One was addressed to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, the other to several city officials, hoping they can help.

"I'm a 10 year Army Veteran, medically retired, and I am now devoting my time to help find Bradley," Chapman said. "I am even planning a trip from Oklahoma to Corpus. This case is my focus now and I will continue to do anything and everything I can do to help figure out what happened to my brother in law."

Call police at (361) 886-2600 if you have any information that could help in this case.

New information might help find missing Flour Bluff man

JUNE 18
This week the family of the missing man has received new information that could lead to finding their loved one.

Now coming up on a year of searching, the family says they’ve received a tip from an old friend who says they believe to have spotted Bradley in Oklahoma.

“He was at a gas station in Bartlesville , Phillips 66, and while he was there he spotted someone that looked just like brad he said the guy was staring at him and he was staring back like ‘is that brad?,'" said his sister. Misty Chapman. "He gathered some information like the vehicle he was in, the person he was possibly seen with. And the station.”

Chapman says the local sheriffs office has already requested the security footage from the gas station in Bartlesville.
