Overview
- Police say a 911 caller reported seeing a man sitting in the shallow Okanogan River who was later seen face down and carried away by the current on May 27.
- Responders searched the area, recovered a gun near the scene, and as of the most recent updates no body has been found and identity has not been released by authorities.
- Family members including brother Bear Brown have publicly said they fear the missing man may be Matt while also cautioning they cannot independently confirm that report.
- Social posts appearing under Matt Brown’s name have complicated verification because accounts can be faked or scheduled and some family members call them scams.
- Matt Brown is an original Alaskan Bush People cast member with a long public history of substance problems and rehab, and searches will continue when river and weather conditions allow.
