Cole Brings Plenty, the actor who played Pete Plenty Clouds on “Yellowstone” spin-off “1923,” was found dead on Friday in Johnson County, Kansas.
The 27-year-old was reported missing on Tuesday, after being named a suspect in a domestic violence case, according to People.
The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release that deputies were called at 11:45 a.m. local time on Friday to the area of 200th and Homestead Lane, where they found the deceased actor in a wooded area, KSNT reported.
His cause of death is not yet known and the case remains under investigation.
The outlet earlier reported that police in Lawrence, Kansas, identified the actor as a possible suspect in a March 31 incident in which a woman was heard screaming for help at an apartment complex. Traffic cameras showed him leaving the city immediately after and driving south on Route 59.
His uncle, Mo Brings Plenty, an actor on “Yellowstone,” shared a plea to Instagram to help find his missing nephew. In his caption, he wrote that he knew “for a fact” that Cole would “NOT go ‘on the run’ in ANY SITUATION. It is not in his character, despite what people think or say.”
He asked people to “refrain from making assumptions or speculating in any situation,” adding, “Let us all commit to prioritizing facts and respecting due process, upholding the principles of fairness and justice for all involved.”
Cole was reported missing after he failed to keep an appointment with his agent about an upcoming role.
“Yellowstone” costar Cole Hauser, who plays Rip Wheeler on the series, also shared the missing poster on his Instagram. He wrote in the caption, “My good friend [Mo Brings Plenty’s] nephew is missing. He was last seen on Easter evening in Kansas City. If you have any information on his whereabouts please contact the below or your local police.”
In addition to “1923,” Cole appeared in two INSP series, “Into the Wild Frontier” and “The Tall Tales of Jim Bridger.”
