“On April 5, 2024, at approximately 11:45 a.m. deputies were dispatched to the area of 200th and Homestead Lane in reference to an unoccupied vehicle.
Deputies checked the area and discovered a deceased male in a wooded area away from the vehicle. The deceased male has been identified as Cole Brings Plenty, 27.”

“This investigation is ongoing. If you have any information, reach out to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office at 913-782-0720,” stated the sheriff’s office.
The late 27-year-old was the nephew of “Yellowstone” actor Mo Brings Plenty, who had been actively seeking public assistance in locating his nephew.
“Despite our persistent efforts, we have been unable to establish contact with Cole, and our immediate concern is his safety and well-being,” expressed Mo Brings Plenty. “Cole’s sudden disappearance without telling anyone his whereabouts is anomalous, causing a wave of concern spreading rapidly across the nation and parts of Canada.”
