Brandon Steve Williams was 33 when he set out on a cross-country Greyhound trip in spring 2013. He boarded in Salt Lake City on May 17, 2013, and the last confirmed contacts came from Nashville on May 18, when he called his best friend and roommate and received money wired by his sister. He bought a ticket to continue to Key West but never boarded the bus; when that bus reached Key West on May 20 he was not aboard and has not been seen since.

At the time he vanished Williams had about $150 in cash, no cell phone, and was without epilepsy medication. Distinguishing features include scars on his upper lip and scalp from a childhood dog bite, a previously broken nose, a shorter index finger, and tattoos: marijuana leaves on his upper back, a scorpion on his left calf, and a blue star under his left arm. The Nashville Police did not open an investigation until April 2015 after an initial report was filed in Ephraim, Utah.

If anyone was in Nashville around May 18–20, 2013 and remembers seeing Brandon or has information about his movements after he left the bus stop, please come forward.
