Joseph David Wolfgang Pichler (born February
14, 1987 in Bremerton, Washington) is an
American actor who has been missing since January 5, 2006.
Biography
The second-youngest of five children, Pichler relocated to Los
Angeles as a child to pursue his acting career. He had some
success, most notably appearing in several movies and television shows. With
the exception of a handful of memorable supporting roles, he is
probably most well-known for his recurring role as Brennan Newton
in the third and fourth (direct-to-video) installments of the Beethoven
movies -- family-oriented comedies about the antics of a mischievous St.
Bernard.
In 2003, at the insistence of his family, he returned to his
hometown of Bremerton, Washington (which is
across Puget Sound and about 16 miles west of Seattle), and graduated from high school there in
2005. According to family, Pichler had planned to return to Los
Angeles in the following year (after the braces were removed from
his teeth) to continue with his acting career. At the time of his
disappearance, Pichler lived on his own in Bremerton across town
from his parents, his younger brother Matthew "A.J." Pichler and
his older sister Samantha.
Disappearance
Pichler was last seen on January 5, 2006.[1][2][3] Pichler
had been playing cards with some friends, who reported he was in
good spirits during the evening.
His car was found January 9th, 2006 at the intersection of
Wheaton Way and Sheridan Road. He was reported as officially
missing by his family on January 16th.
According to his family's statements to the media at the time,
the last outgoing call on Pichler's cell phone was placed at 4:08
a.m. on January 4, to a friend who had said that he had been
visiting with Pichler earlier in the day.
Pichler's family is still actively searching for clues as to
what happened the night Pichler disappeared.
