He believed he was not only a Vampire King, but also Jesus Christ. Marcus Wesson preached his bizarre beliefs to his massive family, and his children grew up not knowing anything about the outside world, or how unorthodox their lives were. His reign of brainwashing, manipulation and terror… ended in 2004 with the deadliest mass murder in the history of one northern California city.

On the surface, many signs point to the theory that 42-year-old Brandon Helms vanished after taking his own life. However, his family and some of the lead investigators who have been in charge of the case say there are multiple factors that point to the possibility of foul play.

Brandon Lee Helms was last seen at a home on Teeterville Highway near the town of Lakeland in Lanier County, Georgia, on December 14, 2015 when he was 42-years-old. He was tall and slim and his family says he had dentures and may be recognized by his thin, receding hairline and a slight hitch in his gait due to a knee problem.

Anyone with information should call the Lanier County Sheriff’s Office at (229) 482-3545. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal ideation or a personal crisis, dial 988 for free support and someone to talk to.
