'Someone knows something:' Bryce Hall's half sister pleads for information about his disappearance

The desperate half-sister of a Windsor man missing since August is pleading for information about his disappearance — if she can't find him, she at least hopes to find the truth.

• Windsor police offer $5K reward for information leading to location of Bryce Hall

• Police concerned about Windsor man's suspicious disappearance

The night before Bryce Hall went missing, Shanyn Hall-Stewart dreamt he sat on the end of her bed and talked with her. She woke with an uneasy feeling and texted him.

She's still waiting for a reply.

Police offering $5K for information

The 26-year-old hasn't contacted friends or family and the past months show no banking activity or social media use, according to police.

His black 2013 Ford Focus was found with bloodstains inside near the the corner of Huron Church Road and Tecumseh Road W., where he was last seen around 1:30 a.m. on Aug. 4.

On Thursday, police said they believe he may be dead.

Hall-Stewart still isn't sure what to think.

"You understand statistically if someone isn't found within 48 hours or so the probability of something really bad happening increases substantially," she said through tears. "When they announced there was blood in the car and based on that evidence they believe he's deceased it's just ... you hold out hope and you don't want people to give up."

Police described Hall's disappearance as "suspicious" and have offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to his location.

'I know he's a good person'

Officers said he was "known to police," but Stewart-Hall said that description carries a connotation that's not fair to the young man who is "more of a son than a sibling."

There's a 17-year difference between the two, but they're close, especially in the past few years after their father fell ill.

"He sat there for eight hours, holding our father's hand as he died ... Bryce was there to shoulder that responsibility," said Hall-Stewart. "He knew the importance of family."

The 43-year-old admits her younger half-brother "hit some rough spots in life," but maintains the man who would always take out his lip piercing during family visits as a sign of respect for his parents, wasn't a bad guy.

The two were working on plans for him to join her accounting and financial planning firm in Lambertville, Mich. Hall had recently passed intense vetting and qualified for his U.S. citizenship, a step Hall-Stewart said would never have happened if he had something to hide. 

"I know he's a good person," she said.

'We just want to bring him home'

After that "vivid" dream the night before he disappeared, the 43-year-old said she started hunting for him.

She's paid for ads with his name, photo and a police contact number on Facebook and organized the Bryce Hall Missing page, followed by more than 280 people. 

"You're checking his messenger to see if it's been active. We were looking for social media contact ... and it just never happened."

Her only hope now is someone with information about Hall will contact police and point them to wherever he's been — even if it's his final resting place Hall-Stewart said any news would give the family peace.

"At this point ... it's really important to lay him to rest. To give him a proper burial and to have closure for the family," she said. "Someone knows something, somebody saw him last and any bit of information can be very vital in bringing him home. We just want to bring him home to lay him to rest."​
