Edward Dylan Bryant and his brother Austin Eugene Bryant are missing people from Monument, Colorado, USA.
Edward and Austin are biological siblings who were adopted by Edward Eugene Bryant and Linda Bryant in March 2000.
On January 22, 2011, authorities were notified of Austin's suspicious disappearance; he had last been seen sometime between 2003 and 2005.
During the investigation, authorities discovered that Edward Dylan was also unaccounted for, having last been seen in 2001.
In February 2011, Edward Eugene and Linda Bryant, legally separated, were arrested at their respective homes in Texas and extradited to El Paso County to face charges of welfare fraud. They had received nearly 175,000 in government payments to support the two boys even when the boys were not living with them.
Edward, Austin, and a third biological brother are among nine children adopted the Bryants.
Linda Bryant has a biological daughter who had foster children of her own.
The criminal complaint against the elder Bryants alleges that Austin was abused.
Authorities have stated that the elder Bryants were entitled to receive government payments to support the boys because they are considered "special needs children".
On January 22, 2011, a former foster child of Linda Bryant's daughter notified El Paso County, Colorado authorities of Austin's suspicious disappearance.
He noted inconsistencies in what he had been told about why Austin was no longer living with the Bryants.
In the course of their investigation, authorities could not account for Austin beyond the 2003–2005 time frame, when he was 7–9 years old, and also discovered that Edward Dylan could not be accounted for after 2001, when he was 9.
A missing person report was never filed for either boy, and the Bryants allegedly continued to collect $1,700 per month in government payments for the boys.
Investigators found that Austin was enrolled in Monument-area schools in 2001, but was withdrawn in 2003, to be home schooled.
Both boys remain missing.
in 2011 it was reported that a third child may also be missing.
