Dylan Brock was 34 when he was last seen leaving his Cedar Grove home on January 27, 2018. He is described as 6 feet 4 inches, 150–160 pounds, with brown hair, hazel eyes, and often wearing a beard; he may have had glasses with him.

On February 14, 2018, Dylan’s truck was found in the Gap Rock parking lot for the Appalachian Trail off a National Forest Road in Franklin, North Carolina. About 50 feet from the vehicle searchers located a tent containing several of his personal items: his driver’s license, a journal, backpack, sleeping bag, hiking boots, and a heavy wool coat. Searches of the rugged surrounding terrain produced no further sign of him.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office has investigated, and the CUE Center for Missing Persons keeps the case active, but no new information has emerged and the disappearance remains unsolved. If anyone has information about Dylan’s movements around January 27, 2018, or sightings near Gap Rock in February 2018, please come forward.
