Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP25263) and 10 other sources
In the early summer of 2014, a 39-year-old man named Larry Brian Haynes, who often went by his middle name, Brian, disappeared under concerning circumstances. On June 9, 2014, Brian was last seen on foot, leaving Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a Caucasian male, standing between 5'8' and 5'9' tall and weighing between 147 and 165 pounds. He had blond or strawberry blond hair, brown eyes, and a distinctive birthmark shaped like a motorcycle on his left thigh. When he was last seen, he may have been wearing a blue plaid shirt over a dark grey t-shirt, along with black shoes and black socks. Brian also had a goatee and mustache that did not connect. His family was accustomed to hearing from him on a weekly basis, so when the calls stopped, their concern grew.

Brian's life leading up to his disappearance was not without its challenges. He lived with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, conditions that required medication. It was known that he sometimes struggled with homelessness and had encounters with law enforcement as a result of his mental health battles. Despite these struggles, his consistent communication with his family was a lifeline, a pattern that was uncharacteristically broken in June of 2014. The abrupt silence was alarming to his loved ones, who knew that without his medication, Brian could become confused and agitated. The fact that he was last seen leaving a medical facility adds another layer of concern to his case.

The disappearance of Larry Brian Haynes has left his family with years of unanswered questions. Despite the passage of time, details about what happened to him after he walked away from the hospital remain scarce. He sometimes used the alias 'Andrew Lovvett,' which has been noted by investigators. The Winston-Salem Police Department has been handling his case, but without new leads, the investigation has been difficult. The lack of information has been a heavy burden for his family, who continue to hope for answers and closure. The overview of this case is one of a vulnerable individual who vanished without a trace, leaving a void in the lives of those who care about him.
