‘Yellowstone’ Star Mo Brings Plenty’s Missing Nephew Cole Dead At Age 27

Mo Brings Plenty’s nephew Cole Brings Plenty was found dead at age 27 after being reported missing days earlier.

The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office in Kansas announced on Friday, April 5, that the authorities had been called about an unoccupied vehicle. After checking the car, deputies found a deceased male, who was identified as Cole.

The cause of death is not known and the case is under investigation, per the Sheriff’s Office’s statement.

Cole had been missing since Easter Sunday, according to his uncle. The actor, 54, shared a missing poster via Instagram that said Cole had his cellphone off and had “missed an appointment with his agent for a TV show, which is unlike him.”

“#ColeBringsPlenty drives a white Ford Explorer,” Mo wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, April 2, “last seen March 31st leaving the Lawrence area.”

Cole’s agent also confirmed the young actor missed his audition, which set off alarm bells for his uncle.

[“He] had an audition on an upcoming film project over Zoom scheduled for Monday morning,” he told The New York Post on Tuesday. “I had spoken to him Thursday afternoon about the details and he was excited about it. When Cole didn’t show up on Zoom, I reached out to his manager.”

In addition to Mo searching for his nephew, the Lawrence Police Department issued an affidavit for Cole’s arrest in relation to a domestic violence incident on Sunday, March 31. According to a press release, a caller reported an unnamed woman was screaming at an apartment in Lawrence. Before officers could arrive on the scene, Cole had fled in his vehicle.

“We’ve identified [Cole] as the suspect,” police said at the time, adding, “We have probable cause for his arrest, and issued an alert to area agencies.”

On Thursday, April 4, Mo shared an update on their search for Cole amid the allegations against him.

“Despite our persistent efforts, we have been unable to establish contact with Cole, and our immediate concern is his safety and well-being. 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,” he wrote via Instagram. “It has been suggested that Cole is on the run, but there is no evidence to support this claim, and we urge everyone to refrain from making unfounded speculations. It’s important to let the legal system determine truth and justice. Assigning guilt because someone hasn’t been found is not the due process to which each of us has a right.”

Cole was following in his uncle’s footsteps and had joined the Yellowstone family for the spinoff series, 1923. The young actor portrayed Pete Plenty Clouds in the show’s first season. In addition to acting, Cole was also a model.
