Please share this post and help Snohomish County detectives and Brock Holmes mother learn what happened to him. “He was my only son, twenty-three years old,” explains Lori Bowling, the mother of Brock Holmes who has been missing for almost five years. He was the oldest of two, and had just moved back in with his mother and little sister into a quiet neighborhood in Sultan. “When he came back to live with me, it was just, we had the most fantastic time getting to know each other all over again. He was getting to know his sister. He was just doing really well,” Bowling remembers. Brock had fallen into the wrong crowd when he was younger, but had turned things around and even got a job at the nearby Chevron station. Bowling adds, “People just loved him. When they started meeting him at his new job and everything, he was just so well liked by everybody.” But on October 7th, 2009, Brock just disappeared. Brad Walvatne is a detective with Snohomish county and says, “He was picked up at his house by his friend. They went to a bar in the Sultan area where they played pool, had some drinks.” Afterwards, they went to a friend’s house nearby off Florance Acres Road. “He had some more drinks, hung out, and then about midnight he said he was taking off, going home and he was last seen walking toward the roadway.That was the last time anyone saw or heard from Brock,” Walvatne said. According to witness that night, Brock refused a ride home saying that he had arranged for someone to pick him up. But that only adds to a growing list of questions to an already mysterious night. “They didn’t see him getting into a car. They didn’t see which way he walked on the roadway, he just disappeared,” explained detective Walvatne. And then there’s Brock’s cell phone which had no incoming or outgoing calls after 6pm that night. So how did he arrange for a ride home without using his phone? Police don’t know, but they are certain that someone does. Walvatne explains, “It’s a small community. It’s tight. It’s a rural area so what’s surprising is that nobody saw anything or they haven’t talked about it.” And Brock’s mother just wants to know where her only son is- no matter where that answer may lead. “I know that somebody out there knows exactly what happened, and there has been so many stories. But I just want them to tell me the truth. I’ll never find out and I’ll never know why or exactly what happened, but my main concern is just to get him home with me,” Bowling said. If you know anything about the disappearance of 23-year old Brock Holmes, call an anonymous tip into: CRIME STOPPERS: 1-800-222-TIPS or contact Det. Walvatne at the sheriffs office.
