The local newspaper reported that Brings Plenty went missing after he failed to show up for a TV show meeting with his agency, which was unusual for him.
His father, Joseph Brings Plenty Sr., posted on Facebook at the time of his disappearance, asking anyone who knew his son’s whereabouts to inform him.
Brings Plenty’s family is extremely concerned about him. The deceased actor’s father further stated that his son was last seen early on Easter morning.
He had not responded to his messages or phone calls, and his family and friends in the region were looking for him. “I love you, son; just message me on your phone,” he added.
Officials responded to reports of a woman screaming for help in an apartment early Sunday morning.
After a preliminary inquiry identified Brings Plenty as a suspect, traffic cameras showed him leaving the city immediately after the incident.
The county police said they have probable cause for his arrest and issued an alert to area agencies.
