He was 27 years old when he was found dead in Kansas.
Who was Cole Brings Plenty?
Young and rising, Cole Brings Plenty was known for his parts in Into the Wild Frontier and The Tall Tales of Jim Bridger (1923).
But he became more well-known after his performance in 1923, which was the prequel to the hit TV show Yellowstone.
Cole played a sheepherder named Pete Plenty Clouds in 1923, a Paramount+ prequel that followed the Dutton family through tough times like the Great Depression and Prohibition.
He was a strong tribesman who kept his family and people safe from priests and white settlers who wanted to take their traditions.
When was Cole Brings Plenty last seen?
Police were called to an apartment in Lawrence on March 31, 2024, because neighbors said they heard a woman screaming for help.
Police in Lawrence said in a statement that they “identified [Plenty] as the suspect, have probable cause to arrest him, and have sent an alert to area agencies.”
His family worked with the police and told them they were worried about where he was, so they officially reported him missing.
Mo, Plenty’s uncle, posted a picture of his nephew on Instagram with a missing person poster. He said that the actor had last been seen leaving Lawrence, Kansas, on April 31 in his 2005 white Ford Explorer.
Where did Cole Brings Plenty go?
A press release from the Kansas Sheriff’s Department says that the 27-year-old man’s body was found in Johnson County on Friday.
At about 11:45 a.m., someone called the police to report an empty car on Homestead Lane near Edgerton.
When they went to look into it, they soon found a dead man’s body in the woods close to the car.
For the past few days, the Lawrence Police Department had been looking for Plenty because of reports of child abuse.
