In the small town of Sultan, Washington, a young man named Brock Adam Holmes, 23 years old, vanished into the night of October 7, 2009. Five months prior, he had moved back in with his mother and teenage sister, taking a job at a local Chevron gas station and looking forward to getting his driver's license. His mother described him as happy and enjoying his new path in life. On the evening he disappeared, Brock spent time with friends, first playing pool and drinking at Bubba's Roadhouse Bar & Grill, and then moving on to the Dutch Cup Restaurant. Later, he ended up at a friend's house on Florence Acres Road. Accounts of how he left the residence differ; some say he left on foot for the three-to-four-mile walk to his home on Old Owen Road, while others believed he was supposed to get a ride. Brock never made it home and has not been seen or heard from since. He was last seen wearing a blue and white long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans, and was carrying his pool cue. The hours following Brock's last known whereabouts are marked by uncertainty. The last recorded use of his cell phone was at 6:30 p.m. on the evening he went missing. Friends at the house on Florence Acres Road reported seeing him last around midnight. Contradictory reports emerged about his departure; one version suggests he started the multi-mile walk home alone after a night of drinking, while another indicates he had arranged for a ride that may never have materialized. When Brock failed to show up for his shift at the gas station the next day, his mother reported him missing, prompting a search by the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office. Despite multiple searches of the area, including a specific property on Old Owen Road based on tips, no trace of Brock or his belongings, which included his cell phone, iPod, and a pool stick, has ever been found. The disappearance of Brock Holmes has left his family with unanswered questions and a profound sense of loss. His mother has expressed her belief that he is no longer alive. The investigation into his case has been hampered by conflicting stories and a lack of physical evidence. Over the years, numerous theories have surfaced, suggesting he may have been the victim of an accident, a hit-and-run, or other foul play. Despite the passage of time, the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office continues to seek information from the public that might shed light on what happened to Brock that autumn night. His case remains an active and unsolved missing person investigation, a painful reminder of a young man who seemingly vanished without a trace from his hometown.
