On November 19, 2004, 25-year-old Bradley Dale Ross II was last seen in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in the area of Old Maumee Road. He was a young man with his whole life ahead of him, engaged to be married and with a child on the way. That evening, he borrowed his fiancée's silver 2004 Dodge Stratus with the intention of picking her up from her job. However, Bradley never made it to his destination and has not been seen or heard from since that day.
The hours that followed his last known whereabouts only deepened the mystery of his disappearance. His loved ones were left with pressing questions and the start of a long and painful search for answers that has stretched on for years.
Later on the same day Bradley vanished, his fiancée's Dodge Stratus was discovered abandoned after being involved in an accident at the intersection of Coliseum Boulevard and State Boulevard in Fort Wayne. Reports from the scene indicated that the vehicle had run a red light and struck two pedestrians before the driver fled on foot. It has never been confirmed if Bradley was the individual behind the wheel at the time of the crash. The car was impounded, and this key piece of the puzzle offered no immediate clues as to Bradley's location. This turn of events left investigators with a complicated and confusing case from the very beginning.
In the years following Bradley's disappearance, the investigation has faced significant challenges. Authorities have considered the possibility that he may have intentionally disappeared to avoid the consequences of the car accident, but his family firmly believes he would not have voluntarily abandoned them, especially with a baby on the way. Shortly after he went missing, his fiancée relocated and has reportedly been uncooperative with the ongoing investigation. Bradley is described as a Caucasian male, 5'10" and weighing 175 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. He has several distinguishing marks, including a tribal band tattoo on his right bicep, a pierced left ear, a round scar on his wrist, and a scar on the inside of his ankle. At the time of his disappearance, he may have been wearing blue jeans, a black hooded Carhartt winter coat, and hiking boots. The case of Bradley Ross II remains an unsolved and heart-wrenching mystery, leaving his family still searching for answers and closure.Last Seen: Nov 19, 2004
