Gregory Ralph Bryan Jr., 23, was last seen August 1, 2009, in Del Norte County, California. He was scheduled to meet a friend in September and never arrived, which family and friends say was out of character for someone described as reliable and punctual. Gregory is 5 feet 10 inches, about 170 pounds, and a Native American member of the Paiute tribe.

He played high school basketball and was a musician and songwriter. There is unconfirmed suggestion he may have been involved with marijuana to help fund his music, but it is not clear whether that had any connection to his disappearance. Foul play is suspected, and the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Department is investigating. If anyone knew Gregory, his routines, or saw him around Del Norte County in August 2009, please come forward with information.
