In the autumn of 2015, 63-year-old William Billy Dewey Bragg III disappeared from Anderson, Indiana. He was last seen on October 21 traveling with his friend, 62-year-old Ralph Belvedere, and both men vanished along with Belvedere’s black 2002 Pontiac Aztek. Bragg failed to make his usual contact with family; a welfare check of his home suggested he had not planned a long absence.

Investigators reported signs of a struggle and blood at Belvedere’s residence and that Belvedere’s coin collection was missing, circumstances that led authorities to classify both men as endangered missing and raised the possibility of foul play. Bragg is described as a white male with graying hair, between 5 feet 9 inches and 6 feet 1 inch tall, about 180 to 190 pounds, with a blue tattoo on his left upper bicep resembling an upside-down spade.

Community vigils and social media efforts have continued, and independent searches remain focused on locating the missing Pontiac Aztek, which may contain evidence. If anyone has information about William Bragg, Ralph Belvedere, or the Pontiac Aztek, please come forward.
