Brian Allen Hatfield was 21 and living in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, when he disappeared on May 9, 2004. He had been in Lafayette earlier that morning and was giving two friends rides back to Baton Rouge, dropping them off at separate locations. The last confirmed sighting came after he dropped off the second friend in the 3800 block of Geronimo Street; he never arrived home.

On May 21 his white 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier was found abandoned in the parking lot of a Chevron on Scenic Highway in Baton Rouge with its license plate removed. There were no immediate signs of a struggle. Investigators also reported post-disappearance activity on his financial accounts—checks and his check card were used—and his missing license plate was later found being used on another vehicle stopped by police. Brian was known to cross-dress and was believed to have been wearing women’s clothing when he vanished; he had a scorpion tattoo on his right shoulder and a Taz character tattoo on his lower left leg.

No arrests have been publicly identified. Does anyone who knew Brian or who was in the Geronimo Street area on May 9, 2004, have information that could help explain what happened after that last confirmed sighting?
