The search is on to find a young man from Fayette County who's been missing for more than a week now.

A relative picked up 23 year-old Braydon Bingham at his home near Oakland on Friday, February 20, 2009 and dropped him off in Memphis near the Highland strip.

Family members say they got a phone call from Braydon the following day, but that's the last time they've heard from him.

Bingham is five feet six inches tall, weighs about 150 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes.

At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing blue jeans, a white t-shirt and a ball cap.

If you've seen Braydon Bingham or know where he is, you're asked to call the Fayette County Sheriff's Department at (901)465-3456.

There's a new twist Monday night in the disappearance of a Memphis man. Braydon Bingham, 23, was last seen in the University of Memphis area with friends.

Over the weekend, a Shelby County principal called police. She saw the missing man's picture and realized she recognized his face from an ID she confiscated at her school.

"Daniel and Braydon both have a history of drugs," said his cousin Charles Cunningham. "I think he's been clean. He got around Daniel, they got into drugs, an altercation with somebody, maybe he overdosed and they dumped him somewhere."

But family members are worried because they say the 23-year-old has the mind of a teenager, and cannot survive on his own.

His mother called him "very gullible, easily led, he would follow the directions of other people, literally."

I live just outside Memphis. The "bottoms" where Braydon was found has always been a popular spot for kids and adults alike to go mudding, riding trucks, 4 wheelers, and jeeps around. They have recently been draining it for the last few years, but it is still a wooded area. So sad about this young man. We have had quite a few stories around our area the last few weeks. WIth Braydon, Lisa Davis, just to name a few. Geez.
