Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP28387) and 6 other sources
In the early hours of April 11, 2015, 18-year-old Brison Jack-Treanton Miller was last seen at the University Place Apartments on Bridgeport Way in University Place, Washington. A high school senior on the cusp of adulthood, Brison was described as a white male with blond or strawberry blond hair and blue eyes, standing at 5'8' to 5'9' and weighing between 150 and 160 pounds. On the night he vanished, he was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, jeans, and black and gray canvas Nike sneakers. He left his apartment with his longboard skateboard but tellingly, took no personal belongings such as his wallet or cell phone, suggesting his departure was not planned for an extended period.

Before he left, Brison left a note indicating he was going to a nearby bridge to clear his head. This detail provided a potential starting point for investigators, but the lead quickly grew cold. Surveillance cameras positioned at the bridge he mentioned were reviewed, but the footage never showed him arriving there on that overcast night. The absence of any electronic footprint, due to him leaving his phone behind, further complicated efforts to trace his movements. The Pierce County Sheriff's Office took on the case, but the investigation was met with a scarcity of leads and a lack of evidence to suggest what may have happened to the young man.

At the time of his disappearance, Brison was reportedly navigating a period of significant personal stress. His parents were divorced, and his mother, to whom he was very close, was suffering from late-stage multiple sclerosis. It has been speculated that these life pressures may have contributed to his decision to leave, though whether he intended to be gone for a prolonged period remains unknown. The case of Brison Miller is a somber one, marked by the abrupt and unexplained absence of a young man from his life and the lives of those who knew him. With no new information or credible sightings, his disappearance remains an unsolved missing person case, leaving his family with unanswered questions and a profound sense of loss.
