Harvey Briggs, 54, a former Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper, went missing from Destin, Florida, on September 30, 2022. He was last seen walking along the beach near the Boardwalk on Okaloosa Island; his car was found nearby but there has been no trace of him since.

Briggs had recently been sentenced to supervised probation after a 2020 misdemeanor assault conviction for removing a protester’s face mask during a COVID-19 demonstration. After sentencing he reportedly made concerning statements that worried his family, and his disappearance is viewed in the context of that recent legal trouble and possible emotional strain.

Authorities in Florida and Tennessee are investigating, and the family continues to seek information. If anyone saw Harvey Briggs on or near Okaloosa Island around September 30, 2022, please come forward with details.
