Charles Otto Brandt was a 38-year-old man when he was last seen in Monroe County, Michigan, on January 6, 1991. He is described as about six feet one inch tall and 175 pounds, with brown eyes, long dark brown or possibly black hair worn to the shoulders, and a handlebar-style mustache. His typical clothing included a black leather jacket, motorcycle or Harley-Davidson T-shirts, Levi’s jeans, and gray cowboy boots. The date of last contact is listed as January 6, 1991.

The disappearance began when Brandt’s mother, alarmed by a sudden stop in his regular weekly calls, requested a welfare check. Police entering his home on Kirtwood Drive in Temperance found the residence ransacked. Several firearms were missing and Brandt’s black 1982 Chevrolet Blazer was gone.

Police followed leads across Ohio, Indiana and Florida but no trace of Charles Brandt has been located. The Michigan State Police have kept the case open and have compared him against several unidentified persons without a match. The ransacked home, missing firearms and vehicle, the death-threat symbol, and alleged gang and debt connections have led investigators to suspect foul play by members of a motorcycle gang, yet without a body or confession the full circumstances of his disappearance remain unresolved. If anyone has information about Charles Otto Brandt or his last movements, please come forward.
