Details of Disappearance: Brandon was last seen in Sumter, South Carolina on January 30, 2010. He lived and worked in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, but had gone to Sumter on a spur-of-the-moment trip to attend Morris College’s homecoming. He went to Sabastian’s Nightlife, a nightclub in the 3200 block of Broad Street, at 11:00 p.m. Shortly before midnight, the bouncer asked him to leave because he’d become drunk and unruly. Just a few minutes after he was kicked out, Brandon tried to re-enter the club. The bouncer refused to let him inside and security staff escorted him off the property. He may have gone to another club, the Blue Mist, in a white car, but this hasn’t been confirmed. Brandon made two phone calls in the early hours of the next morning. He called a cousin and a friend, neither of whom answered their phones. He left voice mail messages with both numbers, but his voice was unintelligible, possibly because he was drunk. The last call was between 3:30 and 4:00 a.m. This was the last time anyone heard from him. After that, his phone went straight to voice mail. Investigators were unable to determine where Brandon was when he made his last two phone calls.
