Shane Earl Brendlinger, 48, was last seen in Shingletown, California on May 27, 2026. He told a friend he was going for a walk to Reed’s Market on Shingle Glen Trail and never returned. Family descriptions list him as about 5 feet 10 inches, white, with shoulder-length brown hair, blue eyes, and distinctive tattoos including the names Kelee and Danielle plus a cow head on his chest and Brandi on his right arm. He was reportedly wearing a blue shirt and blue shorts.

Concern was heightened because he had serious back-related medical issues that family said might have affected his mental state. A tip said someone matching his description was seen walking east on Highway 44 carrying a Dollar General bag, but Reed’s Market employees did not recall seeing him that day. The Shasta County Sheriff’s Office was notified and a report was filed May 29, 2026; Search and Rescue deployed horses, dogs and off-road vehicles to search the surrounding woods. The Sheriff’s Office reported no signs of foul play.

If anyone in Shingletown or along Highway 44 saw Shane on or after May 27, please share what you know.
