On May 28, 2016, a 19-year-old male named Brandon Bankhead disappeared from St. Louis, Missouri. He was last seen at the Life Center International Church, where he was attending the funeral of his great-grandmother. After the service, Brandon was seen getting into a black, four-door car with tinted windows and black rims with some friends. He has not been seen or heard from since that day.
At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a multicolored Burberry shirt, black pants, and blue and white shoes. He also may have been wearing a red hooded sweatshirt.
Brandon's family believes that foul play was involved in his disappearance, a fear that was intensified by a disturbing and anonymous phone call his mother received a few weeks after he went missing. The caller claimed that Brandon was being held captive in the closet of a vacant house in the Walnut Park neighborhood and that he was about to be killed. It remains unclear if this claim was ever authenticated, and the call was not traced. The friends Brandon was last seen with were reportedly not recognized by his family members.
Brandon Bankhead is a Black male with black hair and brown eyes. At the time he went missing, his hair was styled in a mohawk. He is 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 130 pounds. He has several distinct tattoos, including 'Game' on his left hand, a flame on his left wrist, 'Pusher T' on the inside of his left forearm, 'Grind' on his right hand, 'T3' on his upper right arm, and 'Shanetta CTII' on the inside of his upper right bicep. The investigation into Brandon's disappearance has yielded very few details, and his case remains an open and unsolved missing persons case.Last Seen: May 28, 2016
