Brandon Herring was 21 when he disappeared from Raytown, Missouri, on November 22, 2016. He had been preparing for the birth of his son, filling a room at his mother Rhonda Herring’s house with supplies and planning to name the baby King Joseph. On the day he vanished he left with acquaintances who had picked him up to supposedly look at a car; he reportedly carried a substantial amount of cash for a down payment and never returned or called, missing Thanksgiving dinner.

In January 2017 searchers looking for another missing woman found decomposing remains in a creek bed near East 67th Terrace and Lewis Avenue in Kansas City; those remains were identified as Herring. Investigators ruled his death a homicide, determining he had been shot in the head. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. His family believes the people who picked him up that day may know what happened.

If anyone knew Brandon, was with him that day, or has information about the car-for-sale plan and who drove him, please come forward.
