Aaron Brantley, 41, of Columbia, Missouri, was reported missing by his wife on February 9, 2019. His body was found on March 7, 2019, near Brumley in Miller County; a preliminary investigation indicated he died of a gunshot wound.

Three central Missouri men — Christopher English of Eldon and William Lucas and Daniel Cole, both of Kaiser — were arrested in March 2019 and charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action, and abandonment of a corpse. A probable cause statement says a witness told Osage Beach police that Brantley had been shot and killed inside Lucas’s home in Miller County.

If anyone knew Aaron Brantley, saw him in late January or early February 2019, or has information about his death, please come forward.
