Julian Brown, an Atlanta, Georgia, inventor who gained viral fame for claiming to convert plastic into usable fuel, vanished from social media earlier this month after a series of cryptic and alarming posts, leading some to suspect something had happened to him.
Though no official missing person report has been filed, Brown warned followers that he was being “followed” and “attacked” before he disappeared from social media. Brown’s last Instagram video, posted in early July, included a chilling on-camera message: “I’m certainly under attack. I can’t go into so much detail… I’m still working. I’m still building. Nothing is going to stop that.”
