David Bryant Cottle Jr. was last seen by a family member on 03/09/2013 at about 1200 hours at the residence in the Murrayville area of New Hanover County, just north of Wilmington. Family left the residence at that time and upon return at about 1800 hours, Cottle was not there. It appeared that a light tan hard bound journal and a gray and green backpack were missing from his room. He was last seen wearing a white T-shirt with a graphic print on the front, blue jeans, flip flops, a blue jacket, and a knit hat/toboggan. Cottle is a white male, about 5'10" tall and 190 pounds, with long reddish brown hair, blue eyes, and a tribal band tattoo on his right bicep. He was 40 years old at the time. He was known to walk in the woods near the residence and an extensive search was conducted with no results.
