Gary Shawn Bryant, 32, was last seen on November 28, 1999, in Morton, Washington. He was a logger by trade who was unemployed at the time. Authorities say the vehicle he was in was involved in a crash that day and believe he may have been ejected into a nearby river.

Search and rescue teams focused on the river and surrounding terrain, but despite extensive efforts no trace of him or his remains was found. The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office classified him as a lost or injured missing person and kept the investigation open; over time active searching tapered off while the case remained unsolved.

Gary is described as a white male, brown hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 7 inches, about 170 pounds, with a one-inch scar on his left arm. If anyone in Morton or along the river remembers that day or has information about the crash, please share what you know.
