17-year-old Brianna Maitland vanished in 2004. Her car was found. She never was.

Описание: Brianna Maitland’s disappearance unfolded amid a series of personal transitions; she had recently dropped out of high school, moved out of her parents’ remote East Franklin home in February 2004 to live with friends in Sheldon, and was working two jobs to support herself. On the day she vanished, after acing her GED and sharing a celebratory meal with her mother, she left a note for her roommate saying she’d return after her evening shift at the Black Lantern Inn. Her car was discovered the following day in an unusual position—backed aggressively into the decaying Dutchburn house, with the engine off, doors unlocked, and personal items like clothing and a necklace strewn about the interior. Investigators noted no immediate evidence of foul play at the scene, but the delayed reporting—her mother filed a missing person report on March 23 after failed attempts to reach her—complicated early leads. Over the years, tips have linked her case to local drug activity, potential abductions, and even similarities to Maura Murray’s disappearance a month prior, though no concrete connections exist. Advanced DNA from an item near the car in 2022 didn’t match Brianna but remains under analysis, fueling ongoing hope for resolution in this enduring cold case.
