On a cold day in Jonesboro, Arkansas, just before the holidays, 31-year-old Brent Dewayne Brooks was last seen. On December 23, 2004, he reportedly got into his vehicle and left his residence, vanishing without a trace. Since that day, no one has reported hearing from or seeing him. At the time of his disappearance, Brent was described as a white male, 5'11' and weighing around 130 to 140 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.
He has a tattoo of the number '13 1/2' on one of his hands and scars on his back, left ear, a finger, and his right hand. It has also been noted that he may use the alias 'Justin James Pittman'.
The circumstances surrounding Brent's disappearance are made more concerning by his medical conditions. He is a severe, insulin-dependent diabetic and also suffers from irritable bowel syndrome, both of which require medication. When he was last seen, it is believed he was wearing a white hooded shirt, a blue denim jacket, and blue jeans. He was also carrying a dark blue fanny pack which contained a few personal items: a Bic-style lighter, an Army National Guard pocket knife, and his tri-fold wallet. The lack of information regarding his direction of travel or intended destination has left his loved ones and investigators with very few leads to follow.
The investigation into Brent's disappearance has been handled by the Jonesboro Police Department. Despite the passage of many years, his case remains open, classified as an endangered missing person case. The few details that are known about his last moments have been circulated through various missing persons' networks in the hope of generating new information. The official narrative remains starkly brief: he drove away from his home and was never heard from again. This lack of information has made the search for answers incredibly difficult, leaving a lingering sense of uncertainty and a family waiting for any news of his whereabouts.Last Seen: Dec 23, 2004
