More than two years have passed and people are deeply concerned for a man who went missing from east Kansas.
Brandon Shane Smith was last seen on July 28, 2022, in Greenwood County.
He worked in an oilfield as a heavy equipment operator. Advocates with Facebook page “Kansas Missing and Unsolved” share Brandon also worked as a hazmat instructor and seasonal farm worker. He did not renew his Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) when it expired on his birthday back in October, which is unlike him, KMU shares. Some closest to him call his disappearance suspicious.
