The record

Wayne Douglas Bryan, a 52-year-old Coffee County businessman and farmer, was last seen Dec. 15, 1995, while working at his quail farm in Enterprise, Alabama, according to the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. His truck, personal items and dog were left behind 1.

Early searches produced no clues, the NamUs record states. Police also investigated reports that a white man was driving a small red car in the area around the time Bryan disappeared, but that information did not advance the investigation 1.

In 2000, police searched and drained part of Double Bridges Creek off State Road 134, about three miles from the location where Bryan was last seen. The search was unsuccessful 1.

Bryan’s disappearance is listed as NamUs case MP4784. The record identifies the Coffee County District Attorney’s Office as the primary investigating agency and describes the case as open and unresolved 1. A current federal NamUs page also identifies MP4784 as a missing-person case and says its online entry was created April 12, 2021 2.
