Baltimore County police told the family of a missing man that he is alive months after he vanished, but they are refusing to say where he was found or where he is now. Relatives of Bryant Williams say detectives showed them footage that appeared to show him picking up prescriptions in the spring, yet the family still does not know whether he is safe or why he has not come home. Williams has been missing since October 2025, and his loved ones say the investigation has left them with more questions than answers.
According to Williams’ relatives, detectives showed them surveillance video of him inside a Walgreens in April and again in May, but would not identify which store he was in or explain how they confirmed the person in the footage was definitely Williams. The family also learned that Williams’ Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program card was used at a North Avenue convenience store in January, details that have only deepened their confusion about his whereabouts. These details were reported by The Baltimore Sun.
Police Close Case While Withholding Location
Baltimore County Police told reporters they have closed the missing-person investigation after confirming Williams was seen alive months after his disappearance, but they declined to release the location where officers say he was observed. WBFF reports the department told the family it cannot force Williams to make contact with them.
Family Slams Pace and Depth of Investigation
Williams’ twin sister, Brandee, and other relatives say detectives were slow to pursue the case, failed to take several basic investigative steps early on, and only appeared to ramp up efforts after the media started asking questions. As outlined by The Baltimore Sun, the family is pushing for far more transparency about where Williams was seen and what follow-up work the department actually did after that.
For now, relatives say they are still in the dark and are urging anyone with information to contact Baltimore County Police. Local reporting has continued to raise questions about the timeline and the department’s handling of the case as the family keeps pressing for answers.
