Brian Keith Howard, 36, vanished from Hot Springs, Arkansas in the spring of 2004. The last known sighting was by his mother at her home sometime just before Easter; some records list April 11, 2004 as the date he was last seen. After that visit he was never seen or heard from again.

At the time he disappeared he was described as a white male about 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet tall, 165 to 170 pounds, with brown hair balding on top, scars on a knee and his forehead, and several tattoos on his chest, ankle and left hand area. No information about his clothing or belongings at the time of disappearance has been released.

A missing person report was not filed with the Garland County Sheriff’s Office until January 20, 2017 (case number 17-0225), creating a long delay between his disappearance and the official report. The circumstances remain unclear and his whereabouts are still unknown.

If anyone knew Brian, saw him around Hot Springs in spring 2004, or has information relevant to his disappearance, please come forward.
