Spc. Sayveon Anderson, an active-duty soldier assigned to Fort Bragg, has been missing since June 29, according to his family and Fort Bragg officials.

Anderson was living in barracks at Fort Bragg and his pregnant girlfriend is expecting the couple’s baby, said Pamela Anderson, his mother, in the family’s hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia.

But Anderson also said her son told her just two days before he disappeared that his wife wanted a divorce.
