On September 3, 2016, at approximately 6 p.m., Amanda Brown (DOB 04-20-1990) and her boyfriend, Samuel Powell (DOB: 8/25/1990), were dropped off at Rock n' Bowl, located at 3016 South Carrollton Avenue, by the reporting person. The reporting person stated that she received a text message from Brown's cell phone at approximately 8 p.m. which stated that they were unable to bowl, as the venue was booked for a wedding reception.

Powell’s mother also called the police to report her son as missing.
