Case Information

35-year-old Brian Klecha was last seen in Lakeland, Florida on December 26, 2017. He disappeared after making a banking transaction in Auburndale the following day.

Background

Brian Edward Klecha was born on October 6, 1982. He is a US Air Force veteran.

At the time of his disappearance, Klecha was living in a shared home on Long Street in Lakeland, Florida. He was employed by the Disney Corporation as a bus driver.

Klecha was known to frequent LGBT nightclubs in Hillsborough County and Pinellas County.

Disappearance

On December 27, 2017, Klecha was last seen making a bank transaction at MidFlorida Credit Union in Auburndale, Florida. Klecha hasn’t been seen or heard from since.

Investigation

On February 12, 2018, Klecha’s vehicle, a gray 2014 Jeep Patriot, was found abandoned on State Road 618 near the Morgan Street exit in Tampa, Florida. The vehicle had been involved in a traffic accident a few days earlier while being driven by a third party.

According to his family, Klecha’s four roommates, Andrew Dowler, Dyllan Kimbrell, Manny Maldonado, and Ramon Antonio Perez Seda, divided his belongings among themselves after his disappearance. According to one of his roommates, Klecha was in the process of moving out when he disappeared.

Klecha’s vehicle was allegedly traded by Ramon Antonio Perez Seda (also known as AJ/KC Nuev) for use of drugs. Klecha’s cell phone, bank card, and passport were also found in Seda’s possession.

Whereabouts

Foul play is suspected in Brian Klecha’s disappearance and authorities believe he may have been a victim of domestic or drug abuse. They do not believe he went missing on his own.

    Why did the mother delay so long in not reporting ? . Who did Andrew side with in regards to the ” break – up ” ? . Did he make contact with the people at the camp – site were people with their ‘ R . V ‘ S and campers , and left with someone ? . What other family members did he have other than he ‘ s mother ? How long after Andrew left to go on holiday , did Brian leave , What condition were the cat ‘ s when Andrew returned from his holiday , did the neighbors say whether Brian asked them to feed the cat ‘ s while he was away ? . Did he have any other outside interests such as sport or ” clubing ” , did he go with any body else when he went to the club ? . If A J used either Brian ‘s I d or bank details was the account in both their names , whose name was the car in , and who would be the responsible person if, as in this case an accident happened ? . Were any of his friends also in the air force at the same time that he was , and left at the same time that he did ?. Was the insurance company of any help in regards to contact details ? .

    Wayne’s questions above are all V key & relevant.. & point to a disturbing apathy/ ineptitude on the part of investigators.. My biggest question-mark is, why wasn’t AJ properly investigated & given a lie-detector test? (Esp. since he appropriated Brian’s car & belongings, & told police Brian “would have wanted” him to do that!! Really?? As iF..) Why would cops just accept AJ’s obvs lies, like wet noodles, & not probe further?? Makes NO sense.. And those poor cats – how are they & who’s caring for them now??

    Brian’s dissapearance got to my attention when wathiching the report on ID Investigation channel. I wonder how come A.J. was never asked to pass the polygraph test? At least, except if I’m mistaking, it’s never mentioned by the detective Chuck Massucci. A.J. is very suspect. Please keep me posted.
