The family of a 25-year-old U.S. Army specialist is urgently asking for the public’s help after he disappeared from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, nearly two weeks ago.
Sayveon Anderson was last seen on June 29 at the sprawling military base. His mother, Pamela Anderson, told local media she last spoke with him on June 27. When she traveled to Fayetteville to check on his apartment, no one answered the door.
Sayveon and his wife, Jasmyne Mowry, are expecting their first child in August. But according to WVIR, a no-contact order involving him and Mowry was issued earlier this year — a detail that adds a layer of complexity to the case.
‘He Was Feeling a Lot of Pressure’
Mowry opened up about the emotional struggles her husband faced before his disappearance. “He was feeling a lot of pressure. He didn’t want people to know how bad it was getting. That’s what you do with mental health – you hide until you can’t handle it anymore,” she told WRAL News. “We had hoped and prayed that he would return home within a few days, but unfortunately that has not happened. After continued communication with military police and his sergeants, a missing persons report has been filed, and we are now asking for the public’s help while we continue to pray for his safe return.”
The situation echoes the anguish felt by families in other high-profile disappearances, such as the mysterious case of missing personal trainer Elena Moore in South Carolina, where loved ones are also desperate for answers.
Arrest Days Before Disappearance
Just days before he vanished, Sayveon was arrested at a Comfort Inn in Fayetteville, according to WNCN. He faced charges of second-degree trespassing and resisting arrest. The arrest adds another layer of concern to an already troubling timeline.
His sister, Shicora Anderson, expressed frustration with the pace of the investigation. “We not getting the help that we need to find him,” she told WNCN. “He’s just a young man. A young Black man in the Army trying to make it.”
This story follows a pattern of similar cases where families feel left in the dark, much like the family of a teen footballer who hired civil rights attorney Ben Crump after their son was found dead.
How You Can Help
Authorities are urging anyone with information about Sayveon’s whereabouts to contact the Fort Bragg Provost Marshal’s Office at 910-396-0391. The family continues to hold out hope, but the clock is ticking.
As the search intensifies, the Anderson family is leaning on their faith and the kindness of strangers. “We just want him home,” Pamela Anderson said. “That’s all we want.”
