Brian David Cook, a 37-year-old man from Oceana, West Virginia, was last seen on July 28, 2011, in the Lynco area. He had been dropped off at a post office after a trip to Boone County, reportedly carrying $16,000 in cash, an inheritance from his late father. Cook, an ex-Marine and certified welder, left behind a young daughter and has not been heard from since.
Cook’s disappearance is part of a broader investigation in Wyoming County during the summer of 2011, where several individuals went missing or were found dead under suspicious circumstances.
Two other individuals, Rachel Toler and Chester Stewart, were later found deceased, and authorities suspect their deaths, along with Cook’s and another missing woman, Sherry Myers, may be linked to local drug activity.
Cook’s case remains unsolved, and investigators continue to seek information about what happened to him and the other victims in the area during that time. His family and law enforcement urge anyone with information to come forward.Last Seen: Jul 28, 2011
