David Brown disappeared while walking in Florida | Missing with Marni Hughes

[@Orpilorp]

Thank you for creating this program. I appreciate your thoroughness. I am so sorry that there is a need for it though, because there are so many lost people out there, and that's so tragic.

[@valeriegowan1098]

I don’t understand why the lady didn’t ask him if he needed help. If he needed her to call somebody or take him somewhere? My prayers go out to you.

[@karenkrejci1367]

I was wondering why she didn’t call the sheriff to come check on him too…

[@jase4270]

She probably did ask him don't try and be detective you have no idea.

[@muddydog6605]

He asked for directions, if she had taken an unknown man into her home or car and got murdered everyone would have said "What was she thinking?"

[@bettywith2girls]

@@muddydog6605 Exactly! Hindsight is always 20/20.

[@whartonitec1041]

He likely has dementia. Otherwise, he would have asked the lady if she knew his brother. Probably that’s the reason he didn’t try to wave down any passing vehicles either. Usually people have their cell phones on them once they step out.

[@danellerandall8905]

Oh Dear Lord! Please help bring this poor man home!! 😢

[@lookingupwithwonder]

This is so respectful! Australia needs to do this type of show

[@annazaman9657]

He said he was lost. Why wouldn't the lady help him?

[@bettywith2girls]

He asked directions to a specific tree. She probably didn't know what he was talking about or where the tree he was looking for was. For all we know, he thanked her and continued on his way.

[@angkeats7111]

His dog not only was separated from him but couldn't find him afterwards?? That's worrying, as though he's fallen a distance or in a place that the dog couldn't get to. How did he see where he was going without his glasses? Could have easily stumbled into a hole or ravine.

[@deannawaldo2461]

My Mothers family last name is Brown also , My uncle name James Brown who has had a stroke went missing one month ago in the wood , Thank god we found him , He had lost his shoe and was confused and tired , Don’t give up hope he’s out there somewhere and I pray you find him , Did you place photos of him at homeless shelters and hospitals , Because of his cancer you would think that if anyone sees him they would bring him there , Your in are prayers , I know how it felt for two days not knowing we’re my uncle was and if he was all right so my heart breaks for you , God speed that you find him , And thank you to this news channel for caring about the missing , Not many do these days , god bless

[@nadiacusan3799]

if he was confused why did his brother let him go alone

[@whartonitec1041]

The brother is shifting responsibilities Perhaps he was told to wait but wandered off.

[@mariawestman9026]

@@whartonitec1041 yeah , think I heard the brother say - I told him to stay and wait right there.. And he left his dog to keep him company. I don’t think it took so long time but I can’t figure out why it was so important to get tools to start working on the fallen tree ? WHY prioritize that instead of walk around it and stay with his sick brother ? This case is truly tragic and I feel so sorry for everyone involved , but I don’t understand why people act like this when it’s so important to NOT leave a sick person behind/alone ??? And don’t understand why the K9 couldn’t follow the old man’s footsteps ? He was barefoot .??? And the lady he spoke to and told her that he was lost … and she didn’t call the sheriff or asked him where he was staying at ? I don’t know why someone can think he is still alive. What is wrong with people ?

[@DoomMetalMistress1]

All this!! Exactly ​@@mariawestman9026

[@sarahhinson89]

It's AMAZING that it was over halfway through this segment before anyone even mentioned where in Florida and even then, we only heard Hernando County. Come on people, first thing you wanna do is give an exact location where someone went missing from.

[@karenkrejci1367]

I hope he’s found safe.

[@Done832]

I thought I heard they found one shoe and one sock and a pair of glasses. Did they have any bite marks on them or saliva from something other than a dog? And if he is supposed to be taking medicine and isn't, that can lead to all kinds of things even seizures. Imo it will be a miracle if they find him alive . . . sorry to say. It's been a couple of months almost and nothing. Dogs normally wouldn't leave the person unless they came back to get help. Did the dog try to lead you anywhere? How was the dog acting? Dogs are very smart. Did you check all mental hospitals as well as regular hospitals and jails? Something is very wrong here. Please prepare yourself for the outcome be it good or bad. He would have to have water at least and then food of some kind.

[@angkeats7111]

I'm also interested in the dog

[@DoomMetalMistress1]

Yes so am I

[@deborahbaker4770]

That man who didn’t report it should have right away unfortunately he didn’t 😢

[@Johanna-m3j]

The man is gone...... perished sorry. Blame the person who failed to detain him and call the police.

[@crystaldockery7308]

I agree. Sadly, his remains are out in those dense woods somewhere.

[@BrawlHubTV]

"Blame" somebody for something they have no control over and nothing to do with? SMH

[@teresab126]

❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️. God Bless Gabby’s family and all families of the missing!

[@hisbudnrosejn1517]

So sad. But thankful for NewsNation for this great work. Please, parents, know that 30 feet away in a car while your toddlers play is NOT a safe thing to do. Even 3 feet away from a child is too far with all the kidnapping taking place today.

Sending prayers

[@tammyhollandsworth6783]

What part of Florida is David missing? I am visiting my family here in cape corral. Will be praying for him and his family.

[@kai-ul5gx]

This is so heartbreaking , I don’t get it how and why …

[@pissedoffpennsylvanian]

I hope and pray all the wild hogs out in that area didn’t come in contact with him and the dog, prayers for the family.

[@franhorvath153]

Could he have made it up to Jacksonville? If he was trying to get to GA, it doesn’t seem impossible for him to be up here. There are so many homeless encampments over on the west side of town over off Jammes and 103rd and other northwest/west/ northwest and /north areas. Jax is so close to the border and having lived here most of my life as an adult, clay and western duval/st John’s and even Nassau counties have many displaced persons. Prayers for his family and loved ones. 🙏🏼 #davidbrown #wearetheessentials

[@ciscokid0110]

I hope they get a miracle!🙏🏻

[@fredajordan5704]

David got lost and now it`s been so long he disappeared... I wonder what kept that Lady from calling cops when he came to her house looking all lost and dishevelled?

[@muddydog6605]

Maybe fear??

[@bettywith2girls]

@@muddydog6605 Probably, but more like he gave her the impression that he was helped. His wife said the lady directed him in a certain direction where she thought he wanted to go. He probably thanked her and went on his way, for all we know.

[@DEBBIEBURNETT-z8i]

So SORRY THAT HAPPENED

[@soulfireonfire6423]

I was reading the article you had linked to this video on David’s Disappearance. During the article the only thing I kept saying to myself was , where in Florida. One time it mentioned the county but you never mention the city. You mention that he was seen early in the morning by that one man a in a busy street corner but you just mention the street name. You don’t mention the town or the city! I think what you are doing is great for all these missing people. It’s definitely Gods work. But let me tell from my perspective how I am looking at it. I don’t live in Florida. But I know a lot of people who do. So when I kept looking for a city in article it was because I was going to bring my friends list up and see who lived where and forward it to people in that area if there were any. But I may still be able to forward it because they may know of people in that area. So if you could provide the city he was in or last seen in, it would be helpful . More eyes looking for him is more of a chance he will be found.

[@_nycole]

Why didn't they have search dogs just follow his guardian dogs sent as his dog left him to go back and aren't they trained to get help sounds strange it's like someone took him not just foul play but accident and panicked or private property wandered on cus how this long he just vanished that dog I doubt would just leave him especially if trained as guardian to him ... Truly sad I hope he's found soon 🙏🏼

[@capitalkayproductions]

Brooksville, FL / Hernando County

[@DoomMetalMistress1]

​@capitalka I wonder how this man fared with both hurricanes yproductions

[@munchie3310]

I’ll say it again like others have, why didn’t anyone help him when he said he was lost! OMG! He looks like my late husband who died from stage 4 kidney cancer. We would have celebrated 25 years of marriage had he not passed a month earlier. He sang beautifully even if it was karaoke. ❤

[@MariaArmendariz-nt8bj]

Why in the world the lady did not call 911???? This is so inhumane what is this world coming in to, no sense on compassion…

[@chicgal3]

God, I wish that woman would’ve asked him if he needed to call his brother or just insisted you see a man who told you he’s lost. Do you know that it’s the middle of August? It’s very hot. He’s not really young. He’s missing a shoe or doesn’t have both of them on at the moment and he doesn’t have a backpack. He doesn’t have a water Bottle Gatorade or something and just say you know what who were you with and as soon as he said well, my brother and Something fell on the tractor and I started walking away while how long ago was that ask him and you know when you talk to someone, you can tell pretty quickly Who is homeless and who maybe just a little confused she could’ve asked his name you can google so fast with your phone in your hand and say what’s your brother name? Do you have his phone number? Do you have a wife? Can I call someone let me call because, I don’t want you walking any further if you’ve been out here already for two hours we have to look out for each other a little more because I’m pretty sure that this man is dead and he has succumb to the elements. Probably later that day. Dogs usually don’t leave people behind unless there’s an emergency and that dog probably ran to go get help and I don’t know if anyone, try to to find him, but unfortunately now it just is a recovery mission at this point. I’m pretty sure.✝️ pray to God for a miracle that he safe but it’s almost 2 months now if the families really trying to find them, they need to physically go to every homeless shelter and homeless encampment. Bring his picture bring snacks so they can get the attention and help from those homeless people to give them information and just let them know if they found him, but I don’t think that’s the case.

[@mariawestman9026]

@@chicgal3 I agree with you . I’m also thinking about the brother who left him. Why leave a sick old brother to get tools to move a fallen tree ? To prioritize other things and leave a person alone/behind is a bad decision. We have learned that from the childhood. This case is so sad . I can’t understand why relatives hope he still is alive ? He is not.

[@deannawaldo2461]

I think if the dog came back it’s like someone picked him up , or the dog would of stayed with him , It’s to bad the dog couldn’t lead you to him , your in are prayers , This just hits home to use we have the same last name and are uncle went missing for two days in the woods because he to has a illness , We found him but it was a empty helpless feeling not knowing we’re he was for that time , Sending you love and prayers

[@BrendaPetersen-t3y]

Food for thought: we chip our cats and dogs so they can be returned home when they are lost. I don't think we're ready for chipping people, but how about an air tag in a person's pocket when they are going out and about?

[@redrunner3536]

Look deeper into chipping. It's not healthy.

[@bellafairy4u]

Did his brother have anything to gain with his sick brother out of the picture? I’m not saying he did but we all know that family has killed other family members for their life insurance wills etc., it’s sad but it’s happened way too many times. If I had a sick family member I wouldn’t had left them alone not without having someone to be there with them 😢😭 folks just don’t disappear in a minute someone threw him in a vehicle

[@valjean2036]

Right investigate the brother !

[@DoomMetalMistress1]

I wonder how he is doing since both hurricanes hit Florida?

[@tammyhollandsworth6783]

What if you took his dog back out while searching for him? Dogs know their owners sense. Take a piece of his clothing with you. I’ve watched enough of detective stuff on television. Hope this helps. Keep searching and don’t give up!

[@M_Samp]

Cancer and cancer treatment can cause cognitive impairment. I’m not sure why a person with stage 4 cancer was allowed to go off on his own, or travel without being accompanied by another person. I’m sure he was weak and fatigued.this is a sad story. I hope they get answers some day soon.

[@Zorazora1234]

I first heard this story on Bryan’s Mysteries and Adventures on Trail podcast. Interesting, they said a guy said he looked “ homeless “.. we have such disdain for the homeless these days, not surprised the people who saw David dismissed him .. And yet we’re so called religious… holy …. next joke … this story is upsetting..

Old people with dementia or Alzhiemers should wear a smart watch. Just in case they get lost.

Good idea, or (don't freak out) microchip, since it wouldn't be unheard of to lose a watch. Thoughts? Alzheimers/dementia/autistic patients especially.

[@mariawestman9026]

I don’t understand why K9 couldn’t follow the route the old man took ? And the trained guardian dog” left the man behind and went home ? And the lady didn’t call sheriff when the old man told her, he was lost and asked for directions (to a tree 🌴) ? So his relatives thinks he is still alive ? They think he suddenly lost all memory , even his own name ???? I think he is dead. And nobody is to blame , not even his own fault bc he was very sick stage 4 needs the treatment . I’m pretty sure that if he was found when alive people would have been recognized he was sick not just another homeless old man walking around with no backpack no shoes… I really hope that the family will get the answers they need. 🙏👵🏻
