Corey Shane McBride: Disappearance and Priscilla Plott Charges
Updated October 24, 2026 · Browse investigations · Trials & Court Proceedings
Case overview and current legal status
Corey Shane McBride remains the subject of a missing-person investigation in the reporting reviewed. Priscilla Kaye Plott faces identity-use and card-related charges arising from alleged use of his benefits account. These are not reported homicide charges. [1]
Court and jurisdiction
The criminal allegations and search concern Escambia County, Florida. WEAR reports that Plott was released on a $16,500 bond. A charge referring to a deceased person’s information does not itself establish a homicide judgment. [1]
Prosecutors and defense attorneys
The reviewed reports do not identify Plott’s assigned prosecutor or defense attorney.
Victim background
McBride was 39 when reported missing on March 7, 2026. Family last had contact with him on January 1. The sheriff’s investigation has included a property in Cottage Hill. [2]
People and documented roles
Priscilla Kaye Plott: defendant who reported a former romantic relationship with McBride. Steven Patshy: arrested during the search on an unrelated Alabama warrant, according to reporting. His arrest is not presented here as a charge in McBride’s disappearance. [1]
Interactive timeline
January–March 2026 — Last contact and missing report
Reporting gives January 1 as the last family contact and March 7 as the missing-person report date. [2]
March 2026 — Statements and alleged card activity
Investigators’ account describes Plott’s statement that the relationship ended January 11 and a March 29 transaction using McBride’s EBT card. [1]
September 17, 2026 — Cottage Hill search
Deputies executed a search warrant on Wendy Drive. Subsequent reporting connected it to McBride’s disappearance. [2]
Investigation and evidence
Account records and surveillance
The reported investigative account describes a $37 Walmart purchase and video allegedly showing Plott alone using the card and PIN. It also describes four additional transactions after McBride was reported missing. [1]
Foul-play assessment
NorthEscambia reports that investigators cited sworn statements asserting McBride was deceased and suspected foul play. These statements are investigative evidence claims, not a publicly documented identification of remains or a murder verdict. [2]
Prosecution and defense positions
Authorities’ allegation: Plott unlawfully used McBride’s personal or account information. Plott’s reported account: she said their relationship ended in January and that she had not seen him since. The cited reporting does not include a complete defense response to the card allegations. [1]
Courtroom developments
The sources describe a search, arrest and bond release. They do not document a trial. Charges reported include criminal use of personal identification information, use concerning a deceased individual, possession or receipt of a stolen card, and receipt of property obtained through fraudulent card use. [1]
Witnesses and testimony
Investigators refer to multiple sworn witnesses, without naming them in the cited reporting. Store recordings and transaction records are described, but no trial witness list is supplied. [2]
Verdict, sentencing and appeals
No verdict or sentence is reported in the reviewed coverage. Plott is presumed innocent. The missing-person inquiry and the card prosecution are related investigative threads with different questions to prove.
Key questions and documented answers
Has McBride’s death been publicly established? The reviewed reporting describes witness assertions and suspected foul play. What was found during the search? A complete inventory is not published in these accounts. What proves authorization or lack of it for account use? Records, statements and context must be assessed together; a transaction alone does not resolve every allegation.
