Disappeared for a week after an alleged case of sexual assault, Cole Brings Plenty, the 27-year-old actor from the Paramount+ series '1923' (2023), where he plays Pete Plenty Clouds, has been found dead. The young actor, a descendant of the Lakota tribe Indians, also acted in the series 'Into the Wild Frontier' (2022) and 'The Tall Tales of Jim Bridger' (2024).
The Discovery of the Body
The Johnson County sheriff's office in Kansas announced in a press release that police officers were called to Homestead Lane at about 11:45 a.m. on Friday, April 5, in reference to a suspicious car parked on the side of a road. The Johnson County sheriff specified that the officers were scouting the area when "they discovered a deceased man in a wooded area away from the vehicle," who was then identified as Cole. The cause of death has not been disclosed, but the sheriff's office stated that investigations are underway to determine it accurately, and for this reason, the medical examiner will perform an autopsy.
The Suspicion of Violence
Last Tuesday, Cole's uncle, actor Moses Brings Plenty, star of the TV series 'Yellowstone', of which '1923' is a spin-off, had written a post on Instagram asking fans to help him find his nephew who had not been seen since Easter Sunday in Kansas. According to a police reconstruction, on Sunday, March 31, officers responded to a report of a woman screaming for help in an apartment, but before arriving at the scene, the suspect had already fled on foot. The authorities explained that surveillance cameras in the area identified Cole Brings Plenty as the fleeing suspect: the footage captured him leaving the city of Lawrence in a white 2005 Ford Explorer. The police thus submitted a request for the young actor's arrest to the local district attorney, who has been officially wanted since Tuesday. Moses Brings Plenty intervened again on his social media writing: "I am deeply saddened to confirm that my nephew Cole has been found and is no longer with us. We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone for the prayers and positive thoughts you have sent for Cole. We would also like to thank everyone who came to walk alongside us during the search and who provided us with the necessary resources to expand our search areas. This week I discovered how many people knew the goodness of Cole's heart and loved him. In this incredibly difficult time, we ask you to respect our privacy as we process our grief and understand how to move forward."
