Brian Shookman was last seen in Kellogg, Idaho, on July 28, 2012. He left his cousin’s home at around 3:00 p.m., intending to drive six miles to his aunt’s house in the Sunny Slopes area near Osburn for a family reunion, but he never arrived. He was driving a maroon 1998 Ford Escort, which was later found abandoned on a dirt road in the Dobson Pass area on September 2. At the time of his disappearance, Shookman was living in Great Falls, Montana. He was in recovery from drug addiction and had maintained sobriety for some time before the reunion. However, he met up with his cousin, who was heavily involved in methamphetamine use, and authorities believe he may have relapsed. After Brian’s disappearance, his cousin arrived at the family reunion acting strangely and with no sign of Brian, raising suspicion.
