Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9967) and 6 other sources
David Glen Bratton, a 25-year-old man, was last seen in Greenville, Texas, on July 24, 1986. At the time of his disappearance, Bratton was driving a cream-colored 1977 Chevrolet Nova, which was later found abandoned in Delta County, Texas. There has been little information about his movements or circumstances leading up to the discovery of his car, and he has not been seen since.

Bratton was described as being 6 feet tall, weighing approximately 130 pounds, with red hair and green eyes. It is believed that he may have been suffering from depression at the time of his disappearance. Despite search efforts and investigations by the Hunt County Sheriff's Office, no significant leads have surfaced to explain what happened to him.

Bratton’s case remains unsolved, and he is one of the oldest missing person cases in Hunt County. Authorities continue to seek any information that might help bring closure to his family.
