Stanley Brian Garretson was born January 22, 1965, in Olympia, Washington. He spent most of his life in Olympia and preferred to go by his middle name, Brian. On October 9, 2020, Brian left Olympia for California to begin a new truck‑driving job. The last known contact with him occurred in Las Vegas, Nevada, on October 14, 2020. His last recorded financial transaction took place in Las Vegas on October 21, 2020.

On February 15, 2021, the White Pine County Sheriff’s Office received a report of an abandoned vehicle in a rural area of White Pine County near Lund, Nevada, roughly 200 miles north of Las Vegas.
