I would have him declared legally dead. When the drug money runs out he may attempt to restart his life.
He has to be missing five years for a presumption of death in California. Still four years and eleven months to go before they can execute your plan.

Yeah, it'd be a shame if he answered a random number and we found out he was still alive.
All you gotta do is say “who is this? I’m looking for (insert random name)
“This is Colin you have wrong number”
“Sorry” hang up

Highly unlikely someone has the same first name, middle unitial, and last name in the general area of Redondo beach

the bottom is says he was released 9/1/21 at 1829, he wasn’t housed anywhere.
Ahhh. I don't know how to read these things
Someone mentioned earlier when dealing with the homeless/addicts in CA that hospitals there can’t release them back into public they place them in shelters or rehab/halfway houses. Is it possible the police Dept does similar?
It says “permanent housing assigned” which implies he was assigned to stay someone by the dept. then he was released by the dept. That explains the vagueness of it.
It’s possible he was facing a drug charge of a felony amount and agreed to get help in lieu of dropping all charges against him. Thus the citation with no court date or pending charges

last spoke to him the morning of Tuesday, August 24th where he informed me he had been involved in a major car accident two days earlier. He said vehicle totaled, he broke several ribs, as well as his nose and had 10 stitches above his left eye. He also said he had recently moved out of his place and was temporarily staying at a friend’s apartment while in the process of moving into a new place.
I dont mean to sound insensitive, but based on this description of events and the rest of the story he sounds like a drug addict. I have a meth and alcohol addicted sister and the above statement sounds exactly like something she would do.
Drug addicts are ashamed and will not tell loved ones (family members) the truth, ever. But you can always read into their circumstances and tell how they are doing in life. Your brother has no place to live (staying with random friends) and generally sounds like he does not have his stuff together. He sounds like a complete mess, like a drug addict. I know he may not present this way to you when you communicate, but he is probably embellishing or lying about details of how messy his life really is.
I hope you find him, but I would suggest that you treat his situation as someone who is intentionally off the grid living with the masses of addicts in and around LA, getting high, as a strong possibility.

And also a Baton Rouge area code for a phone. It’s pretty obvious it’s the same person

Interesting thought and for the OP hopefully the case
ETA: It seems crazy to me there is no way to find out if someone was in rehab. So someone is living a normal live on Friday, leaves work, goes on a bender, and checks themselves into rehab and there's no way for anyone to know to help them out? Notify work, pay their bills, forward their paychecks, etc.?

Cops can't dole out plea agreements like that. They literally lack the legal authority.

Probably called his drug dealer and said "I wanna talk to Sampson!"
Half Baked references aside i hope you track him down and he is of sound body and spirit.

Man, that’s real life stuff right there, and very hard to read as you can tell how much hurt and uncertainty is in all of this. I can only imagine how I’d feel if it was my brother. I’d probably be out of my mind with worry and concern, especially being so far away from him.
I pray for you and your brother and for resolution to come from this.

Of course people can help them out, but it’s that persons responsibility to notify their employer and take care of their personal business before entering treatment. It’s not like you aren’t allowed contact with the outside world once you go to rehab either, they will let you make arrangements for bills and that sort of stuff once you get settled in

Are you sure he hasn't been sentenced to a prison term by anychance? The arrest profile saying "permanent" housing suggests this. This could include a half-way house assigned by the court.

I would post this to Reddit and Twitter. You'll get more "boots on the ground" looking for him than here.

It is crazy. When I had my fight I had to sign a release for every person I wanted the facility to allow access to me. Mom, Dad, Attorney, etc. and this was 20 yrs prior to KUNGFLU Mania, but this is exactly what HIPPA was used for.

It’s possible the cops gave him a reality check and he voluntarily went into rehab immediately upon release.
Here is what we know:
He had a wreck. Admitted to hospital. Cops took his phone to the station. This to me implies the cops may have intended for him to be brought to the station after he received treatment. But due to Covid protocols he was released earlier than expected, cops missed bringing him because due to Covid protocols they weren’t allowed to sit around and wait at hospital, they tell nurse to call when released, shift changes, nurse forgets to pass on info, he is released. Does OP know everything about the wreck? Copy of the police report? People involved? Talk to the responding officer?
Colin stays with a friend to rest and heal rather than his own place or place he is moving into. This can suggest he knew he might be in trouble so goes where he can’t be found. Based on his FB posts it’s reasonable to assume he doesn’t have his shite together. He doesn’t go get his phone because he knows he is in trouble. Avoiding police.
He gets his check from employer and where does he cash it or deposit it? Need to check with employer to try to get this info. If he cashed it assume he went to get drugs. He is down on himself, hating himself and goes on a 3 day bender after getting paid. He becomes careless. Police spot him and bring him in. He gets a citation for drug possession, either on his person or perhaps it was found in his vehicle at the scene of the wreck. Cops decide to cut him a break even though they’re not supposed to. He promises to get help, realizing he is on a dark path. He checks himself into a facility and that’s why nobody has heard from him. He doesn’t want anyone to know because he is ashamed.
Anyways I’m spitballing here on the scenarios but I’m betting he is in rehab after a close scare with legal trouble and a bad wreck due to drugs. I think if he was dead his body would have been found. I bet the police know more than they’re letting on. I would follow up and try to get the name of responding officers both for the wreck and the arrest. They might can point OP in some type of direction or give insight to what actually happened. Just calling the dept and talking to random people there will get nowhere because they deal with thousands of people there and won’t care much. Need to speak to the officer who handled it.
Not sure if Dept will release a police report to family. Insurance company should have a copy from the wreck assuming he had insurance

This is all a great rundown. I could add that if he is in fact hooked up on Oxycontin or a similar opiate then you can expect a good two weeks just sweating, cramping, sleeping, and not being able to sleep in which time the last thing on his mind is the possibility of people being worried about his location bc his obligation to himself is the battle at hand and thats it.
