No one has seen 70-year-old Artis Russell Bryant since he left his brother’s house on Northwest Road in Brunswick County in February 2021. Northwest police had no clues in his nearly three-year disappearance. “It’s a cold case, and we have no leads,”
Northwest Police Lieutenant David Everett said. This holiday season, new searches are being made for him. Anyone who can help find Bryant might receive $10,000. In the first several months after disappearing, Monica Caison, founder of the CUE Centre for Missing Persons, says cases get much harder. Maintaining community awareness that they are missing and the family demands answers is tough.
Caison said it’s hard to find them farther because you’ve ruled out the immediate region you expected. Caison hopes this award will reveal something. “In the first few months of my 29 years of missing persons experience, rewards always help.” According to Caison, people who knew something but didn’t want to share it or didn’t value it. Public help is their only hope for returning Artis Bryant.
- “We’re here for the holidays, and this is what we’re doing to get some kind of resolve,” Caison said. Bryant wore a dark jacket, trousers, shoes and Kango hat when last seen. Bryant weighs 120 pounds and is 5’10”. If you have information, call Lt. Everett at (910) 540-8914 or the CUE Centre for Missing Persons 24-hour tip line at (910)-232-1687.
