Tristan Davail Bass, 32 and known as Trick, was last seen leaving his home in Dudley, Wayne County, North Carolina, in the early morning hours of October 15, 2022. Family members reported his failure to return or make contact as highly out of character; they said he routinely checked in when he was out. He was wearing blue jeans, a blue and white shirt and a black jacket when he disappeared.

The family reported Tristan missing to the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office on October 20, 2022. Those close to him said he had been taking medication for schizophrenia and paranoia and may have been experiencing cognitive impairment when he left. His mother also described recent struggles with drug addiction and said he had been speaking about talking to deceased relatives and the devil just before he left.

The investigation has been led by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office and public appeals have not produced significant leads. If anyone knew Tristan, his routines, or has information about where he might have been between October 15 and October 20, please come forward.
