Nicholas Mitchell Cooper, 37, was last seen on April 23, 2023. He is described as a white male, about 5 feet 9 inches to 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighing 150 to 190 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Concern grew in the spring of 2023 when he failed to make contact with family or friends.

Investigators found his vehicle abandoned in Fort Worth, Texas, a considerable distance from his home in Buda. That discovery did not clarify his whereabouts and intensified questions about what happened after he was last seen. At the time he disappeared he was facing serious legal issues, and authorities have considered whether he might be evading arrest, though other possibilities remain under investigation.

No significant leads have been reported and the investigation remains active. If anyone has information about Nicholas’s movements or has seen him since April 23, 2023, please come forward.
