On June 16, 2026, the Limestone County Sheriff's Office received a call from Mr. Bruce, who reported hearing people around his residence and claimed that someone had placed tracking devices inside his home. When deputies arrived at the residence, they observed Mr. Bruce emerging from a heavily wooded area on his property. Mr. Bruce was sweating profusely and stated that he could hear a female talking. Before deputies could make contact with him, Mr. Bruce immediately retreated back into the wooded area. Deputies conducted a brief search of the area and repeatedly called out for Mr. Bruce; however, he did not respond, and they were unable to locate him. The following week, Mr. Bruce's family reported that they had been unable to locate him. A subsequent search was conducted utilizing law enforcement personnel, a drone, and a K-9 unit. Despite these efforts, no signs of Mr. Bruce were located. Mr. Bruce's wallet, keys, and vehicle were found at his residence and appeared to have been left behind.
