Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP22907) and 6 other sources
In the late autumn of 2008, a family's life was forever altered by the disappearance of Brandon Taylor Alexander. At 27 years old, Brandon was last seen in Lithonia, Georgia, on November 22, 2008. On that day, he was wearing a white t-shirt, a light blue plaid jacket, and light blue denim pants. He also had on a baseball cap and size 10 tennis shoes. His personal belongings included a watch and a diamond earring. Brandon did not have a personal vehicle, and the details of his mode of transportation on the day he vanished remain unknown. The DeKalb County Police Department opened an investigation into his disappearance on December 5, 2008.

Brandon is described as a Black / African American male, standing at 6 feet tall and weighing between 170 and 180 pounds. He had black hair styled in a low-cut fade and brown eyes. At times, he wore a beard or a mustache. His nails were always kept very short. Distinctive features that set Brandon apart include a piercing in his left ear from the age of 14 and several tattoos. On his left arm, he had the word 'Black' tattooed, while his right arm bore the word 'Boy.' The name 'Kewanna' was tattooed on his neck. He was also known by the nicknames Black, Back Boy, or BT.

The circumstances surrounding Brandon's disappearance remain unclear, with very little information publicly available about his last known activities or companions. For years, his case has remained open, a painful and unresolved chapter for his loved ones. The lack of new leads has left his family in a state of perpetual uncertainty. The investigation, led by the DeKalb County Police Department, has yet to yield the answers needed to bring Brandon home. This enduring mystery serves as a somber reminder of the many individuals who disappear without a trace, leaving behind a void in the lives of those who continue to hope for their return.
