On March 2, 2020, 35-year-old Brady Michael Barrilleaux began his day with the hope of a new job. He was last seen by his family at a residence on Azalea Street in Thibodaux, Louisiana, as he set out on his red bicycle in the early morning hours. His destination was Gray, Louisiana, where he had a job interview scheduled. Phone records indicate he left Thibodaux around 8:00 AM to make the trip. However, the potential employer in Gray would later report that they had no record of him ever arriving for the scheduled interview. This was the start of a perplexing disappearance that would leave his family and community searching for answers.
Throughout the day, details gleaned from his phone activity provide a fragmented timeline of his movements and his state of mind. At some point, Barrilleaux sent a text message stating that he had been late and, as a result, did not get the job.
By approximately 1:00 PM, his phone records suggest he was making his way back toward Thibodaux from the direction of Gray. In the hours that followed, he sent several messages to different people in an attempt to have someone pick him up, indicating he may have been stranded or in need of assistance. The final communication from his phone was an outgoing call placed at 4:31 PM. Shortly after, his phone ceased all activity. He never made it home, and no one has reported hearing from him since that afternoon.
The investigation into Brady Barrilleaux's disappearance has been ongoing, with the Thibodaux Police Department continuing to seek help from the public. The last known location of his phone was traced to the signal radius of a cell tower on the east side of Thibodaux, a broad area that has been a focus of the search. Barrilleaux is described as a white male, 5'7' tall and weighing around 145 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He had a goatee at the time he went missing and has numerous distinct tattoos, including the name 'Barrilleaux' across his chest, the word 'Nemesis' on his neck, a full sleeve on his right arm, and a tribal spider on his left arm. The case remains an active and unsolved missing person investigation. The overview of the case is centered on a man who traveled by bicycle for a job interview he reportedly never made it to, his subsequent attempts to get a ride home, and the sudden cessation of all communication, leaving his exact whereabouts unknown.Last Seen: Mar 2, 2020
