Brandon Darquice Anderson, 21, vanished after a three-car crash on Interstate 94 near Exit 88 in the early morning of June 20, 2005. He was a passenger in an eastbound Ford Taurus and survived the collision, but was last seen leaving the scene on foot at about 1:45 a.m., crossing the highway, climbing or jumping a fence, and running into a dark wooded area on property belonging to the Fort Custer Training Center. An extensive search of the terrain turned up no sign of him, no clothing, and no clue to his direction after entering the woods.

Brandon was a Battle Creek resident described as a Black male with black hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet 1 inch tall and 175 to 185 pounds. Reports note he had been drinking that night and had an outstanding misdemeanor warrant; his mother believes his flight was to avoid police contact. She also stressed he normally stayed in regular contact and left behind an infant daughter, making his prolonged silence highly unusual. Police have considered the possibility he died in the woods, but no remains or conclusive evidence have been reported.

Does anyone who lived near Exit 88 or Fort Custer in June 2005 remember seeing a man matching Brandon’s description or anything unusual that night?
