The Latest on Local Singer Chameleon Foster's Disappearance

It has been 13 days since 25-year-old Brenden "Chameleon" Foster was seen at Hippie Hollow. Despite land, water, and air searches by officials, the local singer is still missing.

“We haven’t given up. We know this is the last place he was seen, but we believe he still lives, and we won’t stop until we bring him home,” stated Foster’s sister Fadeelah Muhyee, aka established local musician and activist Queen Deelah.

On Feb. 5, Chameleon Brenden Foster arrived at Hippie Hollow at 10am and was last seen on security footage at 12pm, reportedly after returning from 7-11 with snacks. When security found his car still in the parking lot at closing time, park authorities left of note with information on how to get out of the locked park if he returned to his vehicle that evening. Chameleon was reported missing on Feb. 6 – the family’s timeline states that the note was missing from the car, and was never found – and Chameleon's personal belongings, including his eyeglasses, were found near the water at stairwell 14 (the last stairwell in the park) during a preliminary search of the park by officials. The same day, Chameleon's sister was notified by the Sheriff's department and Hippie Hollow Park was closed. The park reopened on Saturday, Feb. 8.

Over the past two weeks, dogs, boats, divers, and drones have been used to search the area for Foster to no avail. The five-foot-ten musician, with a slender build, may be wearing a nose ring. When last seen entering the park, Foster had on a black coat and black jeans.

From the press release sent by family friend and media contact Jonathan “Chaka” Mahone: “Chameleon Brenden Alexander Foster aka ChmlnKng, is most known publicly for his awe inspiring vocal performances. His song lyrics came from an authentic place that immediately drew in the listener. He was intentionally writing and creating music to heal traumatic wounds that came from his journey through life, and literally one note from his mouth could freeze you in your tracks, open your heart, and reveal deep truths about the human condition.”

Foster and Muhyee, originally from Oakland, California, relocated to Austin five years ago. A GoFundMe has been set up to support resources for the search, alongside a Facebook page with ongoing updates called “Bring Chmln Home.”

From the Facebook page: “We unfortunately came up empty handed in the search today. Travis County Sheriff's Department informed family today is the last major search with them and the park police in Hippie Hollow. The search is far from over and WE STILL BELIEVE! There are divers who are going out in a couple of days, boats will still check the shores. Chameleon's family and community has the faith he will be found and brought home safely.

“We are sending love to Chameleon, and just wanting to bring him home,” she added. “A lot of this stuff still isn’t making sense, but we are pushing to find our brother. We say our brother, because a lot of people feel very connected with him... He’s still out there.”
