Community Urged to Assist in Search for Missing Anoka Bartender and Veteran, Brandon Stott
Anoka, MN — April 11, 2025 — The Anoka community is rallying together in the search for Brandon Stott, a 201 Tavern bartender and U.S. military veteran, who has been missing since the evening of Tuesday, April 8. Brandon, a well-known and cherished figure in the local area, was last seen around 7:00 p.m. His sudden disappearance has raised significant concern among friends, family, and colleagues.Mother Jones
Brandon is described as a dedicated and reliable individual. His absence from work and lack of communication are highly uncharacteristic, prompting immediate action from those close to him. A welfare check conducted at his residence revealed his shoes were left behind, suggesting he returned home that evening. However, his current whereabouts remain unknown.
Concerns for Brandon’s well-being are heightened due to reports of recent mental health struggles. His phone has been turned off since Tuesday, and he does not possess a vehicle or maintain an active social media presence, limiting traditional means of tracking his movements.
Efforts to locate Brandon have included checking local hospitals, contacting the VA, and reviewing jail rosters, all without success. Community members are now calling for broader assistance, urging residents and businesses in the Anoka area, particularly near Main Street and Ferry Street, to review security footage from the evening of April 8 onward.
Brandon is more than a bartender; he is a friend, a family member, and a veteran who has served his country. His disappearance has left a void in the hearts of many, and the community is determined to find him and ensure his safety.
