Found Deceased NC - Bryan Davenport, 42, Charlotte, 19 Oct 2019

Sad, speaking of him in the past tense. I had a bad feeling about this. We have a mutual friend on facebook and she's very close to him. She is where I learned of this initially and she hasn't posted in a few hours.
I agree it is very sad. I have a sinking feeling he ran into some trouble and some people who did not have the best intentions. JMO

Zecats I hope we find out exactly what happened. I wish it was a better outcome. His family and friends must be devastated. I am thankful at least they know now and are not still looking and wondering, what little solace that may be. Crime scene tape no longer up according to family and friends at the scene. It may not be due to any criminal activity.

Possible he left his truck behind and waked into the wooded area for some other reason? And then some folks came along and ransacked his truck and maybe stole credit cards? I guess that's possible, depending on what they have found during this last search. JMO

BBM I am wondering about that too. Those that used his credit cards must be feeling some heat right now, imo. Hope they have caught them!
 
I feel like it's true because they wouldn't cancel the missing person report or make an announcement on the missing facebook page.

Yeah, unfortunately I do too. I'm not sure that qualifies as official confirmation for TOS here, though. Do you know?

It's still a current, active Silver Alert NCDPS - Silver Alert - Active Alerts. It hasn't been cancelled yet. So IDK.
