22 year old Bryan Hasel was last seen in Orlando, Florida on November 5, 2021. He disappeared from the apartment he shared with his father while his family was out of town.
Background
Bryan “Vladek” Hasel was born on December 20, 1998. At age five, he and his biological sister were adopted from Russia. He had no contact with his family there and didn’t express interest in going back.
In December 2018, Hasel successfully completed basic training and graduated from the United States Marine Corps boot camp. He subsequently served a desk job for a few months.
In July 2019, Hasel got an honorable discharge for failure to adapt, and was living at either his sister’s or father’s place.
At the time of his disappearance, Hasel was unemployed and single. He was known to frequent restaurants and businesses on University Boulevard, Alafaya Trail, and Waterford Lakes.
Described as generous and friendly, Hasel spent his free time helping people in need. He would often give money to homeless individuals and share food with them.
At the time of his disappearance Hasel was living with his father in The Place at Alafaya, an apartment complex on MacKay Boulevard, near the University of Central Florida’s campus in Orlando, Florida.

Disappearance
On November 5, 2021, Hasel’s father left town with family members for a ten day trip out of state. Hasel was invited, but chose to stay home alone instead. His father left him $100 in cash and a credit card to use.

On November 12, 2021, Hasel was seen by a maintenance worker sitting at the basketball court of the apartment complex. They reportedly spoke for a few minutes before Hasel went back to his apartment.
On November 15, 2021, his father returned from the family trip, but Hasel was nowhere to be seen.
