Brent Brunson, 24, disappeared after a single-vehicle crash near the intersection of Black Creek and Leavensworth Roads in Hartsville, South Carolina, on the evening of November 5, 1999. Around 6 p.m. a passing motorist stopped and found Brunson disoriented at the overturned vehicle; that Good Samaritan left briefly to call for help. When emergency responders returned moments later, Brunson was gone, leaving the wrecked car behind.

The Darlington County Sheriff’s Office searched the dense woods and rough terrain on foot and with four-wheelers, issued an All Points Bulletin, and alerted local hospitals, but no trace was found. Brunson is described as a Black male, 6 feet 5 inches tall, about 195 pounds, with brown eyes and short fade black hair; he was last seen wearing a black jogging suit. His disappearance is especially puzzling given reports he appeared disoriented after the crash, which could indicate a head injury.

No definitive explanation has emerged and the case remains an active missing person investigation. If anyone saw Brent that night or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward.
