March 5, 2026, marked seven painful years since Brandon Williams of Endicott disappeared. For his family and friends, it’s been seven years of questions with no answers and a silence that never really goes away.

His face is still listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, a constant reminder that someone who is deeply loved is still out there somewhere, and the people who care about him are still waiting for answers.

Where Brandon Williams Was Last Seen

Imagine saying goodbye to a loved one, not knowing it would be the last time you’d ever see them. On March 5, 2019, Brandon's parents dropped him off at the Speedway gas station on Route 26 in the Town of Maine near Route 38B. A female acquaintance picked him up that day, and in that fleeting moment, his family unknowingly watched him disappear from their lives forever.

Clothing and Appearance on March 5, 2019

The New York State Police reported that Williams was wearing gray jeans, a red North Face hoodie, black-and-white Converse sneakers, a tan Carhartt jacket with black lettering, and a Patriots winter hat at the time of his disappearance.

 Family, Belongings, and Police Report

Williams left all of his personal belongings behind, and since he vanished, he has had no contact with his two children, whom he was very close to. His parents reached out to police for help finding their son on March 22, 2019, after not hearing from him since they dropped him off at the gas station.

Brandon is not just a statistic or a photo in a database. Standing 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 200 pounds, he was 32 years old when he vanished, a man with stories, dreams, and a family who misses him dearly. His right arm bears a full-sleeve tattoo, including a microphone with the name “Fat John” and a spider web on his left elbow.

Family Concerns and Police Response

Troopers told WNBF News in April 2019 that Williams had a history of disappearing for months at a time. However, when he went missing in March 2019, family and friends expressed heightened concern, feeling that something wasn't right.

According to the New York State Police, Williams had no known medical conditions at the time of his disappearance and was not considered a threat to others. However, he had a history of drug use and was associated with questionable individuals.
