After starring in a few TV shows in 2022 and 2024, Cole Brings Plenty became well-known.

He was 27 years old when he was found dead in Kansas.

Who was Cole Brings Plenty?

A young and rising talent, Cole Brings Plenty was recognized for his roles in “Into the Wild Frontier” and “The Tall Tales of Jim Bridger (1923).” However, he gained widespread acclaim for his performance in “1923,” the prequel to the hit TV show “Yellowstone.”

Cole portrayed a sheepherder named Pete Plenty Clouds in “1923,” a Paramount+ series that followed the Dutton family through challenging periods like the Great Depression and Prohibition. His character was a strong tribesman who protected his family and people from priests and white settlers trying to undermine their traditions.

When was Cole Brings Plenty last seen?

On March 31, 2024, police were called to an apartment in Lawrence after neighbors reported hearing a woman screaming for help. The Lawrence police identified Cole Brings Plenty as the suspect in the incident, had probable cause to arrest him, and issued an alert to area agencies.

His family collaborated with the police and reported him missing out of concern for his whereabouts. Mo, Plenty’s uncle, shared a picture of his nephew on Instagram with a missing person poster, stating 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?

According to a press release from the Kansas Sheriff’s Department, Cole Brings Plenty’s body was found in Johnson County on Friday.

At about 11:45 a.m., someone reported an abandoned car on Homestead Lane near Edgerton. When authorities investigated, they discovered a dead man’s body in the woods near the vehicle.

The Lawrence Police Department had been searching for Brings Plenty for several days due to reports of child abuse.
