Corey Bryant
Show notes
On December 19, 2025, 31-year-old Corey Bryant disappeared from the Bemidji, Minnesota area. In the weeks leading up to his disappearance, Corey’s life had become increasingly unstable. Loved ones noticed that he seemed withdrawn and fearful of the people around him. Corey reportedly hinted that things had become “weird” where he was staying and suggested he no longer felt safe there.
Concern escalated in January 2026 when Corey failed to appear for a scheduled court hearing. As family members began comparing notes, they realized no one had spoken to him in weeks. Then they learned that several people connected to Corey had allegedly told others that he was dead.
At the same time, reports surfaced that Corey may have been seen in late January, but those claims quickly became muddled. The witness later backed away from what they had initially reported, leaving Corey’s family to wonder whether it was an innocent mistake or something more intentional.
The last known communication investigators have been able to establish from Corey was on the night he disappeared, when he spoke with a friend by phone. During that call, Corey reportedly said that he was afraid of the people around him. He ended the call after saying he would call back. No one ever heard from Corey again.
Nearly two months later, Corey’s black Kia was discovered abandoned on a trail, with his phone found inside the locked vehicle. For Corey’s loved ones, the circumstances surrounding his disappearance have only become more unsettling with time. The stories are inconsistent, the timeline is difficult to untangle, and Corey’s family is still searching for the truth.
