Strange case this one is , that is one of the most haunting photographs in criminal history , her vehicle next to that old abandoned building gives you chills
Agreed. Nobody with a serious habit would just leave any money untouched. Whoever caused her disappearance left those checks behind too, which might give a hint as to motive.
Maybe, maybe not. It doesn't say how old the paychecks were. If she had just picked up both checks that day before she went to work, she may not have had time to cash them yet.
@@deanjo57790you only get one check at a time. Most people with a dependency wouldn't wait for a second check to come through before picking up the last one
Not necessarily. A piling up drug debt has definitely caused people to be harmed by dealers aiming to recoup a debt. Just because she was using, doesnt mean she was paying.
@@no_peace people without dependencies still deal in drugs at times or use recreationally. Automatically assuming dependency is myopic and unrealistic.
Bruce is an example of strength and love. Such dedication to helping others, despite his own pain. Thank you Bruce, everybody with PIFTM, and John too. ❤
The people that disposed of her tried to get that car out of the yard there, the guy backed it up into the house and it got stuck so they left it. It wasn't staged, it was abandoned. The seat was shown to be moved back for a taller person and some of the items from the car were found outside the door.
Makes much more sense explained this way. Nobody would stage a car this way. If you staged it, your goal would be to make it look like an accident. This makes it look 100% like she was kidnapped.
Same type of situation happened with Ralph Jean Maries case they killed Jeffrey Cameron for the same reason as moses If you look into all five cases the similarities are crazy Moses Ligia Brianna Ralph Jeffrey all cases are connected to the same group of people its organized crime same group thats been trying to kill me
This story has stuck with me since seeing it on Disappeared. She's now been missing longer than she was alive and hope some day they get answers. Maybe some loyalties have changed and someone will come forward.
This is the kind of video that hooked me in to John's channel long ago. Great work. I hope someone knows something and calls it in for the sake of Brianna's family.
The resiliency of families of the missing always amazes and truly inspires me through my own personal struggles. Thank you always, John, as your channel has remained one of my very favorites for so many years now….God bless you for your untiring commitment to the murdered & missing and your beautiful compassion your show to each and every single family 🙏🏻💙
Bruce reminds me of Maura Murray's Father, driven by his love for his Daughter, so so heartbreaking, I hope answers are found asap. Much love to Brianna's parents and those affected 💚
A teen that holds two jobs, declines going out to dinner in order to get to the other job, is completing her GED while living the way she was, & still making plans to attend college does not appear to me to be a kid on drugs. I grew up in a small town and you almost can’t help but know people deeply involved in drug culture. A friends sibling and so on. The person who benefited from her disappearance was the person who beat her up. Who was in that persons circle?
Time and time again I'm touched by your integrity and your passion towards what you do and all that this entails. I'm thankful for having found your channel a few years ago now. And even if I seem a little less active these days, be assured that I watch without fail! And liking the video before it even begins is the least I can do for you!
Barbara, that is so nice and I agree 100%. I am a community manager (just a helper lol) for Lordanarts. Every time I have spoken or had a zoom meeting with John he's been so great. John and Christy truly care about these cases, the victims, and their families. Also, this channel has some of the nicest subscribers and it's just a great community!
I believe someone who can brutally beat someone, totally making them disappear to avoid charges. Car was found close too, so probably a local... like the girl she pressed charges against 🤔 her dad is AMAZING ❤
It doesnt seem like any evidence of a beating was left in or around the car. It seems like a struggle happened in the car, but it was clearly not bloody.
Prayers for that poor grieving family 🙏 They deserve answers and peace. You do so much for all the missing. Not just the famous ones but ALL of them. And I can't always donate but I do when I can because I've been following you long enough to know , you are the real deal. Thank you John for all you do ❤❤
Same. I wish I could afford to donate to this very worthy cause, but I just can't stretch my budget right now. John is truly one of the good ones, doing so much selfless work to help people who need it.
Thank you Jhon my 17 yr old niece has been missing since the end of July like she vanished in to thin air and law enforcement just drag there feet I'm going to send this to her mom 🕊❤️🙏
Hi, Kathy. I am so sorry to hear about your niece. I can not imagine how frustrating it is to not get adequate help from the police. It's not right. I am a community manager for Lordanarts/John. John does have some resources for family members on his site: www.brainscratchers.com/missing-persons-tips Additionally, you can submit her case there too if you'd like (it's under suggest a case). Sending my love to your family. ❤
Well done episode. This is one of those cases I keep hoping an answer comes soon. It's hard to believe this case is almost 20 years old. It draws me in every time with wondering what happened to her and why. I grew up in a small town of less that 700 so I know how crazy rumor mills can be in tiny areas.
While the car could have been staged, my first thought is that maybe someone could have blocked the road as she was driving home and maybe she could have backed the car into the building trying to turn around and get away from these people or this person. As far as not fighting back, she may have taken the martial arts classes to learn self defense because of a threatening situation. There are actually 3 instinctual responses to threats: fight and flight which are well-known, and the freeze response, a lesser known response to threats. A person who is out-numbered or threatened with a weapon could be more likely to freeze. This makes me wonder where the sympathies lay in all of the witnesses to the attack. Obviously, no one stopped the agressor before she had caused Brianna a concussion😢. I think the attack is highly likely tied to the disappearance. It seems like more than one person could have been involved. The person or persons involved did not take the checks. They were there to get Brianna and seemed to know where she would be in a vulnerable position. How would some random motorist know that this vehicle has a young lady driving home? I am sure the police have thought of all this. I think that there is at least one, but probably more people who know what happened to her. 😢
A really good take! I think a key point though is how did she lose control of the car? If turning around to get away, she still could have locked the doors. And if the car was stuck, why not some tire spin out on the ground to get unstuck?
Yeah. James denied everything at questioning. Then says he was out there, saw Miss Maitland's car, closes the doors and turns off the lights, goes home, and admits to not reporting it because he was drunk? The fact he died in a car accident is f*king karma.
I am curious about Brianna's roommate and her comment that Brianna "owed the wrong people money". That doesn't make a lot of sense to me because she left uncashed checks in her car.
she said she was told this not that she actually knew if this was true everything in this case is rumours that don’t really have proof and i think her friends theories on what happened has changed in the years since this rumour i don’t think it was the drug dealers but i definitely think it was a person/people that know her hopefully her family gets answers soon
@@ghostface1889 it wasn’t actually Brianna’s roommate that left that comment that was her friend Katie, who has a full raging narcissist, so beware of anything, she said, I’m not saying she’s 100% lying and everything but beware
@@jada9655 ik and the person who told her didn’t actually have proof of it and it was just speculation and rumors people said she was being held hostage by drug dealers too which also wasn’t true and it’s been years since that rumor peoples opinions change over the years and based on what greg overacker has said to people who believe it was the drug dealers about how the book might change their opinions on who they think is involved it seems like no one involved in the case believes the drug dealers were involved at all and someone who has read the book said he implies that people know who did it they just don’t have enough evidence to prove it
Whenever I look at that picture of the car backed into the house, all I can picture is that she maybe had pulled in next to the house for some reason (maybe someone she knew was parked over there, or she saw someone who looked like they needed help), but then something scared her and she was trying to turn around to get out of there, and in her panic, when she went into reverse to turn around, she ran into the house and then was stuck and couldn't drive forward, and that's when whoever else was there got her out of the car. I obviously don't know, but that's just the only way the car being in that position makes sense to me.
Me too 🙋🏾♀️ As a young inexperienced driver I did something similar - and frankly would have been vulnerable to being yanked out of my car after the crunch & stall (if my ex hadn't been with me on the dark street, in my car - I just got a super bad vibe while looking for a house party). My car looked almost exactly like this (but it was a broke down shed). It doesn't look staged to me 🤷🏽♀️
A few issues w roommate: 12:08 - Brianna leaves note for her roommate saying she will see her after work but roommate doesn’t see note cuz goes away for weekend so no one realizes Brianna is missing until days later. So roommate never mentioned to Brianna she was going away for a few days? That doesn’t make sense. Also, 13:42 - when the roommate gets back home n Brianna isn’t there, she automatically assumes Brianna moved back in with her parents. Why would she assume that? Brianna didn’t move her stuff out… and hadn’t mentioned moving out.. yet roommate thinks she moved out? And Brianna parents lived in a different town so it’s not like roommate thought Brianna just went home for a night or 2. She thought she moved out. Without any belongings or saying a word. Roommate sounds super sketch. 25:33 - another discrepancy w roommate. Friends say Brianna was starting to hang w wrong ppl but roommate (Gillianne) claims Brianna wasn’t like that with her n was quiet/liked to stay home n read. Maybe Gillianne is one of the bad ppl Brianna’s other friends were referring to and Gillianne is lying about how Brianna was into to cover her own ass.
You have this very backwards the other friends are known liars Jillan is more truthful then the other group of friends ever have been all the other friends just wanted there 15 minutes of fame.jillan out of town the weekend she disappeared. There is a pretty big chance that Brianna was different with Jillian. For the fact she wasn’t in that group of friends, different group of friends, different actions.
@@ghostface1889 I know that. Julian went to her sisters house that weekend, so Jillians kind of irrelevant outside of the fact she came back on Monday and Brianna wasn’t that’s about the only usefulness actually Jillian said the quote opposite in an interview a couple years ago with a podcast and also said something similar on an interview from about a month after she disappeared that Brianna wouldn’t go party. She come home and read a book so this person has Jillian count backwards. As far as the line that she had fallen, and with the wrong crowd that came from a reporter or an early new story that she didn’t come from her friends, it’s been repeated by your friends over the years, but it wasn’t directly said why one of the friends all of them majority of the other friends from the previous school were the issues Jillian not so much
james isn’t the one who keallie was in a relationship with at the time it was another person who cheated on her with brianna james is brianna’s ex though and he did change his story a few times after seeing her car so definitely suspicious
The prosecutors just done a 2 part on this last couple weeks. Brett and Alice done a great job and any amount of coverage is wonderful….,great job John as always. I have my suspect and over the years my mind has not changed.
Pss I’m 52 years old and I still hide things from my mom. I’ve had a new puppy for 6 months and I still haven’t told her. Why? Because I’m 52 and I don’t need to be told what to do and how to do it nor anyone’s approval. If you’re strong and independent as Brianna clearly was, it’s possible she hid lots of things. Not that she did, I’m just glad her parents are open to the idea that it’s possible
@@ghostface1889 I guess if they’re prosecutors, but like some of the stuff they swore, they knew nothing about are probably the most known details if they just simply did the research themselves. seem to be so biased and trying to overlook the facts. It was just beyond me and I left a nice angry comment under the first video they literally like I’m all for coverage on Brianna but if you’re going to do coverage you better be correct and proper and theirs was the most sloppy hour and a half episodes ever like
Do you believe that the Brianna Maitland case and the Maura Murray case are connected?? They both are similar in appearance. They were the same age group. They both disappeared in similar circumstances. They neither have been found.
I could be wrong, but I think John has stated he does not. I personally believe there was no foul play in Mauras case, but Briannas is definitely foul play.
She was working 2 jobs so it makes sense she was taking her GED. Being 1/2 hr from there, not everyone knows everyone John. So that’s incorrect. I’ve lived in Vermont my entire 44 years & I know a lot of people & everyday I’m at the store, I see new faces I’ve never seen before. That space is mountains & trees. A lot of 2nd houses for skiers/snow boarders. And it’s pronounced (St Albans)- Saint ALL-BINS. And Berkshire is Burke-SHEER not Shire like Frodo & Bilbo’s shire.
I'm a community manager for lordanarts and have watched every video he's ever put out (even his old skits, lol). I was 10000% sure he covered Briannas case, but I was wrong.
@@Kristi__xo It's it crazy to have shared memories of something that never happened? I'm certain he covered it because John was the first person I ever heard state there could have been a connection between the Murrey and Maitland's case. Of course, he was sourcing the Maura Murray podcast. He was doing 3 Men and Mystery and remember they were covering a hispanic male that had been murdered. His new case afterwards, the first original I watched was a man who disappeared from a small community out of a trailer. The reason I remember so much was it was also the time my wife took stage 4 level disease and was given 6-12 months to live.
Brianna's disappearance is one of those I follow, might be because of my desire to visit and live in Vermont. Thank you for great video regarding her case.
Why would she have left a note to her friend she would be home between 10 and 12 if the friend had gone away? And a news article said she left work late but another said she left around 11:20
No, she’s been there for a couple weeks. It wasn’t her home so it was most likely out of courtesy and the fact that when she got home to get ready for work, her roommate was not there and roommate was still in school.
Small town inside crime or stranger abduction comes to mind here. She is same age as my youngest daughter.Did someone hit her in back end of car then back it into empty building to cover it up?
Someone said they were trying to get rid of her vehicle after they dumped her body & her car got stuck in that old house & they abandoned her car there. 🚗
Brianna was a sweet beautiful person who didnt deserve what happened to her and keillie never should have punched her that was so mean keillie doesnt seem like a nice person shame on you keillie you had no right to hit her
❤ Jon hello handsome man 👨 I have to say this has to get solved for amazing family fighting for there daughter. I know the heartbroken of lose of a Child my Child wasn't murder Thank Good Lord. I pray this family get there Justice. Thank you Always Donna Barnes 😢
Sadly, I think the obvious is what happened here (think horses, not zebras) - I think a lone man snatched her to assault her. Someone local who knew and watched her for a while. And yes, at least one other person knows or suspects (like a Mother - who washed bloody clothes or saw her son's obsession with the case on TV etc) If that one person is brave, I think the truth will eventually come out - although it may take another decade or so - and I pray whoever they tell (care home worker? Nurse?) tells Bruce. No matter how unlikely or farfetched they think it is. Also, I don't think the car is staged. I've done almost exactly the same thing when I was a young inexperienced driver and got a bad vibe on a dark night while looking for a house party, and saw some sketchy aggressive people lurking around the side street of the house 🤷🏽♀️
they did think runaway at first but that shouldn’t have been the first thing that was thought of because it was very obviously foul play her necklace was found broken next to her car which points to a struggle along with other things when her car was found by other people both car doors were open which points to either there being one person involved and they were trying to get her from her side of the car and she was trying to get out the other side or there was more people involved and the other person was at the other side making sure she couldn’t get out to escape and then the person on her side was able to get her if she was a runaway both car doors being left open wouldn’t make any sense
James definitely has more involvement. A truck was spotted near there and called in. He wasn't worried enough to look for her at all? Call her or her roommate to make sure shes ok? The roommate kicked her out after the fight? Sounds like Keely (jealous ex), James (now ex-boyfriend) and the ex roomie (keelys friend, possibly jealous or ...) had some retaliation for Bri filing charges. The drug life was just a cover for them. They probably ran her off the road and backed into the barn to cover up the damage. Knowing she was trained took her with/threatened a weapon.
james was brianna’s ex who he was still apparently friends with after they broke up he’s definitely suspicious after changing his story a few times when he saw her car but why would he be mad about the charges against keallie she was in a relationship with another boy and had been for two years and that’s who cheated on keallie with brianna not james so if this was to be true james being involved in this wouldn’t make sense
She lived 300 feet from Canada?? Her killer and possibly her remains are in Canada, which probably makes finding her impossible. Unfortunately like Maura Murray, Brianna will probably never be found.
This is close to my state of Maine. Her & Kimberly Moreau are the two nearby cases that come to my mind: and I think both are on the BRINK of being solved. It does seem like Brianna was dragged out of her car & killed. There has to be a lot of evidence left behind or near her car: that can be tested.
The only thing that makes sense to me with her car being backed up, is that somebody in a car was waiting for her to drive by on the road a little beyond the barn. I would think that person drove onto her road when she came, and blocked her way. And that she backed up to get away from that person. Maybe it was slippery, ice on the way, or she panicked? And she drove into the barn backwards. If that person had a gun, martial arts are not going to help much.. I really hope the truth will come out soon, of what happened to her, so that her loved ones can find some peace. You mention Brandon Lawson, I believe he was shot. I'm happy that at least they found his remains, and his family can start mourning him.
I know her parents say that she wasnt involved in the drug world, but as a recovering addict I hid my addiction from my parents for over 10 years. They never knew I was involved in drugs at all, Im not saying she was but there is a possibility that she may have been and was just keeping it hid from her parents.
they didn’t say she wasn’t involved they said she wasn’t that involved with drugs where she would get to a point that she would owe drug dealers money meaning she wasn’t an addict there’s a difference between experimenting with drugs and being a drug addict the pi and the police have literally said it’s not drug related the pi thinks it’s connected to maura’s disappearance
The police screwed up this case. You would think it could have been solved soon after the car was discovered. The State Trooper didn't think much of it and didn't treat it as a crime scene. When in doubt you should always treat it as a crime scene, no harm done if discovered it wasn't. The car parked in such a way and her necklace found on the ground, personal items in the car, especially contact lenses and a prescription, doesn't look suspicious to the Trooper. Did he even check the driver's seat if it was moved to allow a taller person to drive. Now the ex boyfriend who could have been involved is dead so we will never know. All these years and the poor parents have to go through suffering of not knowing what happened, why and where her remains are because of incompetent police work. I always say you can get away with murder if the police are not qualified. The ex female friend/ roommate who assaulted her could be involved also, especially when she was charged with that crime. That's a reason to get rid of someone, she may have an alibi however alibi's can be broken.
Was there any relationship between the ex boyfriend and the coworker? Bc it's extremely suspicious that she'd go missing after work when she was already violently attacked and then filed charges. There's clear motive. I can only imagine she had an airtight alibi. I hope answers are found.
Bruce used this tragedy to make something great in his daughter's memory. I'm wondering if someone hit the back of her car to get her to stop. Once they got her to stop they took her and then backed her car into the building so it would look like she ran into the building and wouldn't know another vehicle was involved. I hope they still have the vehicle and can check to see if any other paint is on the vehicle. If she moved away to start over she would have taken or cashed her checks. You need money to start over. Did her exboyfriend James come up this story about seeing the car and shutting off the lights because he knew his DNA would show up? Someone knows what happened and they are protecting people. I hope Bruce and his family get some answers.
I've personally seen two accidents where people lost control of their cars, the cars spun 180, maintained their momentum and then slammed into something. One was on a highway during rain and the guy rammed into a wall backwards. Another was in a neighborhood, and the car actually crossed a yard and went backwards through the front door of a house of a family that was out of town for Thanksgiving (this was the night before Thanksgiving). I would like to see some analysis of the road and the sides of the road from the police, to see where tire marks were and what they looked like.
If you look closely, you can see dried dirt tracks on the road that lead up the grass and into the front of the car. It looks like it was backed in too fast from the road and crashed into the house.
Was the car in drivable condition when it was found? Did the rear crash into the barn cause it to be undrivable or unmovable from that position? Being so close to the road, is it possible she was being chased or pursued, she decided to change driving direction so backed in to that space to turn around but, in a panicked state, backed into the barn, and then couldn’t drive away because she was stuck?
It seems the police believe it was a struggle, not an accidental driving into the building. I could be wrong but this has always been the way it was presented
I always thought she had been planning on meeting someone at that house for money or drugs. But I didn’t realize there was a time frame from 10 to 12 am where she didn’t know what time exactly she would get out of work. She also didn’t have a cell phone and Apparently she didn’t make any phone calls to anyone, so how would the person know to meet her there at a specific time
Sad case. One possibility on the way the car is situated is that Brianna was trying to back up due to being blocked in by someone. Look at the way the front wheels are turned. She may have met someone there, and they blocked her in, things went awry, and she tried to get out of there quickly, backing into the building. Remember, this photo was taken by a passerby the next day. Also, did you know that one of Brianna's ex bf drove by and seen the car there as well?
I believe she saw her ex bf earlier that day when she was with her mom when she went outside....he probably upset her by being with the lady that assaulted her thats why she was upset when she came back in the store to meet her mom....Ex probably told her meet him over to the farm house and people probably beat her up and took her and killed her....the reason the car backed in the farm because she probably panicked when she tried to get away and put in the wrong gear....just my assumption
Bruce reminds me of John Walsh-A devestated father who decided to take his tragedy and turn it into something amazing and useful for helping others. It’s incredible to think about how many people have been found/helped/justified because of these men who refuse to let evil win and pay tribute to their lost children. They absolutely deserve our recognition and support
As a addict of 15 years I can concur with that statement about her not picking up her paychecks When you have a habit, the "liquid" assets like straight up cash or jewelry or electronics, anything that is worth something with little effort that someone would easily take in lieu of cash is the first thing to go. I mean that's why those type of things don't just stay untouched if you can get them. Something prevented her from collecting her cash. Think about it, how would she be eating or surviving? Unfortunately we know where this leads...
Its the ex boyfriend he places himself of the crime, she was flirting with another dude while still dating him at a party, talk about being scorn. Thats motive the owing drug money is silly. Those black thugs would just stiff her tell her get lost instead they kill her, makes zero sense. He basically telling on himself saying he's wasted people turn violent real quick when hurt. Rust cole would have him singing in 24 hours.
I'm imagining a scenario of a vengeful girl and the boyfriend that had been fought over, maybe in a truck or car, following Brianna from her job, and cutting her up along that road. I imagine Brianna slamming on her brakes, seeing the two of them coming to the car, reversing her car to try and do a turn onto the road, back in the direction of her work, the front wheels are slightly turned as if trying to do a sharp turn back down the road from the direction she had come... but in a panic overshooting and backing into the building, when the boy opens one car door, and Brianna runs out of, or is dragged out of the other. .. is caught, and bundled into the waiting car or truck. We've heard of this kind of revenge before, with girls recruiting boyfriends to help them to show their 'loyalty'. If James happened to want to be back with Keallie, maybe its something he would have done with her. This explains him needing to place himself at the car, if he was the one to drag Brianna out of it. I dont care how good a person is at Martial arts, two people, especially if one is a male, are going to overpower you. I think Brianna was murdered and dumped/concealed somewhere. Just me imagining a scenario, of course...
Trying to understand how an abduction would transpire given the set up: Assuming Brianna drove alone from the Black Lantern, about a mile away toward her lodging that night, and near the Dutchburn intersection and at the Dutchburn abandoned building, how was she physically abducted? If she encountered someone threatening while driving in the car at that intersection, she could have at least locked her doors and maybe sped away. The first person at the car--her ex-boyfriend--claims both side doors were open with the headlights on. Assuming she stopped at the building, she still could have locked the doors to some threat. How did the abductor/s get in the car? She would have had to meet someone she did not find threatening at first, and as that interaction progressed, lost control of the keys, or let the person/s into her car. I don't know how to make sense of the car backed into the building, unless staged, in which case she could have been abducted elsewhere. If she was alone in the car, and backed into the building, she still could have locked her doors. Assuming someone was already in the car hiding when she got in to leave the restaurant could explain how she lost control, but yet the car's interior showed no signs of struggle. I suspect she stopped and met someone, and lost control of the car in that interaction. The car position was then staged, but I don't understand why positioned the way it was. Why would abductors leave the headlights on, drawing attention?
THat road has a curb so it would be difficult to get the car up over the curb. Not impossible though. I think maybe she pulled in the drive to the barn to talk to someone.
Strange case this one is , that is one of the most haunting photographs in criminal history , her vehicle next to that old abandoned building gives you chills
That picture has always freaked me out. I'm glad I'm not alone!
It
Really does
Two uncashed pay checks lead me to believe she was not too far into drugs.
Agreed. Nobody with a serious habit would just leave any money untouched. Whoever caused her disappearance left those checks behind too, which might give a hint as to motive.
Maybe, maybe not. It doesn't say how old the paychecks were. If she had just picked up both checks that day before she went to work, she may not have had time to cash them yet.
@@deanjo57790you only get one check at a time. Most people with a dependency wouldn't wait for a second check to come through before picking up the last one
Not necessarily. A piling up drug debt has definitely caused people to be harmed by dealers aiming to recoup a debt. Just because she was using, doesnt mean she was paying.

Very well said @Lindseymorgan. Such amazing strength on display.
The people that disposed of her tried to get that car out of the yard there, the guy backed it up into the house and it got stuck so they left it. It wasn't staged, it was abandoned. The seat was shown to be moved back for a taller person and some of the items from the car were found outside the door.
Makes much more sense explained this way. Nobody would stage a car this way. If you staged it, your goal would be to make it look like an accident. This makes it look 100% like she was kidnapped.
They screwed up when they didn't check the car for finger prints.
Well in such a small town thry probably had a small police dept who didn't know much either.
Could be, but abandoned leaving the headlights on?
Same type of situation happened with Ralph Jean Maries case they killed Jeffrey Cameron for the same reason as moses
If you look into all five cases the similarities are crazy Moses Ligia Brianna Ralph Jeffrey all cases are connected to the same group of people its organized crime same group thats been trying to kill me
You explain things the same way that I feel a detective would explain things. Linear, succinct, analytical.
Im so glad you covered Brianna's case. Her family and friends have waited far too long for answers.
The day she went missing was too long.
This story has stuck with me since seeing it on Disappeared. She's now been missing longer than she was alive and hope some day they get answers. Maybe some loyalties have changed and someone will come forward.

Broken necklace is a sign to me. I think there was a struggle of some kind
This is the kind of video that hooked me in to John's channel long ago. Great work. I hope someone knows something and calls it in for the sake of Brianna's family.
The resiliency of families of the missing always amazes and truly inspires me through my own personal struggles.

A teen that holds two jobs, declines going out to dinner in order to get to the other job, is completing her GED while living the way she was, & still making plans to attend college does not appear to me to be a kid on drugs. I grew up in a small town and you almost can’t help but know people deeply involved in drug culture. A friends sibling and so on. The person who benefited from her disappearance was the person who beat her up. Who was in that persons circle?
There are a lot of people that are functioning addicts.
Keallie Lacrosse broke her nose over a guy. Keallie did interviews saying it wasn't her but I feel she had something to do with it.
Time and time again I'm touched by your integrity and your passion towards what you do and all that this entails.
I'm thankful for having found your channel a few years ago now. And even if I seem a little less active these days, be assured that I watch without fail! And liking the video before it even begins is the least I can do for you!
💯 agree Barbara T. The integrity of this channel has created a community of people who truly care about the missing and victims.
@@NeatNoodle Hey there, wonderful human being. I hope all is well with you. 😘
Barbara, that is so nice and I agree 100%. I am a community manager (just a helper lol) for Lordanarts. Every time I have spoken or had a zoom meeting with John he's been so great. John and Christy truly care about these cases, the victims, and their families. Also, this channel has some of the nicest subscribers and it's just a great community!
Hey Kristixmichelle, nice to meet you! I'm sure that in your capacity you help the channel a lot, so for all that you do thank you!! 💖💖💖
John, thank you for your comprehensive research, both historic and current.
Bruce is doing fantastic work
Glad to see Briannas case on here. She and her family deserve justice. ❤
I think it was someone she knew and they followed her from work.
Thank you for sharing Brianna's story.
I hope there is interest and an opportunity to interview her father in the future.
Cheers.
I believe someone who can brutally beat someone, totally making them disappear to avoid charges. Car was found close too, so probably a local... like the girl she pressed charges against 🤔 her dad is AMAZING ❤
It doesnt seem like any evidence of a beating was left in or around the car. It seems like a struggle happened in the car, but it was clearly not bloody.
@@BenleyyThey’re talking about the girl who beat her up, Keelie or whatever her name is
I dont think ive have seen this picture of her before. Its Nice to see you try to bring something new to these cold cases.
Born and raised Vermonter here.🖐 This story still gives me chills. 😢
Scary, very scary
I live in Pa & always have & this case still scares me. I am Brianna's age.
This what I love about you, John.
Thank you for contributing to this cause and all you do. ✊🖤
Also we need more Bruce in the world 🙏🏻🖤🖤🖤
Bruce is an extraordinary man.
Prayers for that poor grieving family 🙏 They deserve answers and peace. You do so much for all the missing. Not just the famous ones but ALL of them. And I can't always donate but I do when I can because I've been following you long enough to know , you are the real deal. Thank you John for all you do ❤❤
Same. I wish I could afford to donate to this very worthy cause, but I just can't stretch my budget right now. John is truly one of the good ones, doing so much selfless work to help people who need it.
@@thing_under_the_stairs I know he is a blessing to so many 🥰 And our prayers go a long way dear!!
I can’t believe the murderer or murderers got away with it. Maybe people who know something are afraid of the murderers.
I think someone will say what they know, hopefully sooner rather than later
That casino didn't have another angle? They have cameras everywhere....🤔
Her personal items were found on the ground and there was no sign of a struggle????
Right?!
exactly one of those things was a broken necklace which obviously shows there was a struggle
Excellent episode John~
Thank you Jhon my 17 yr old niece has been missing since the end of July like she vanished in to thin air and law enforcement just drag there feet I'm going to send this to her mom 🕊❤️🙏
Hi, Kathy. I am so sorry to hear about your niece. I can not imagine how frustrating it is to not get adequate help from the police. It's not right.
I am a community manager for Lordanarts/John. John does have some resources for family members on his site: www.brainscratchers.com/missing-persons-tips
Additionally, you can submit her case there too if you'd like (it's under suggest a case).
Sending my love to your family. ❤
Well done episode. This is one of those cases I keep hoping an answer comes soon. It's hard to believe this case is almost 20 years old. It draws me in every time with wondering what happened to her and why. I grew up in a small town of less that 700 so I know how crazy rumor mills can be in tiny areas.
While the car could have been staged, my first thought is that maybe someone could have blocked the road as she was driving home and maybe she could have backed the car into the building trying to turn around and get away from these people or this person. As far as not fighting back, she may have taken the martial arts classes to learn self defense because of a threatening situation. There are actually 3 instinctual responses to threats: fight and flight which are well-known, and the freeze response, a lesser known response to threats. A person who is out-numbered or threatened with a weapon could be more likely to freeze. This makes me wonder where the sympathies lay in all of the witnesses to the attack. Obviously, no one stopped the agressor before she had caused Brianna a concussion😢. I think the attack is highly likely tied to the disappearance. It seems like more than one person could have been involved. The person or persons involved did not take the checks. They were there to get Brianna and seemed to know where she would be in a vulnerable position. How would some random motorist know that this vehicle has a young lady driving home? I am sure the police have thought of all this. I think that there is at least one, but probably more people who know what happened to her. 😢
A really good take! I think a key point though is how did she lose control of the car? If turning around to get away, she still could have locked the doors. And if the car was stuck, why not some tire spin out on the ground to get unstuck?
Yeah.
James denied everything at questioning. Then says he was out there, saw Miss Maitland's car, closes the doors and turns off the lights, goes home, and admits to not reporting it because he was drunk?
The fact he died in a car accident is f*king karma.
I am curious about Brianna's roommate and her comment that Brianna "owed the wrong people money". That doesn't make a lot of sense to me because she left uncashed checks in her car.
she said she was told this not that she actually knew if this was true everything in this case is rumours that don’t really have proof and i think her friends theories on what happened has changed in the years since this rumour i don’t think it was the drug dealers but i definitely think it was a person/people that know her hopefully her family gets answers soon
@@ghostface1889 it wasn’t actually Brianna’s roommate that left that comment that was her friend Katie, who has a full raging narcissist, so beware of anything, she said, I’m not saying she’s 100% lying and everything but beware
@@jada9655 ik and the person who told her didn’t actually have proof of it and it was just speculation and rumors people said she was being held hostage by drug dealers too which also wasn’t true and it’s been years since that rumor peoples opinions change over the years and based on what greg overacker has said to people who believe it was the drug dealers about how the book might change their opinions on who they think is involved it seems like no one involved in the case believes the drug dealers were involved at all and someone who has read the book said he implies that people know who did it they just don’t have enough evidence to prove it
Isn’t katie the one that punched brianna in the face, while she was sitting in the Car?@@jada9655
Whenever I look at that picture of the car backed into the house, all I can picture is that she maybe had pulled in next to the house for some reason (maybe someone she knew was parked over there, or she saw someone who looked like they needed help), but then something scared her and she was trying to turn around to get out of there, and in her panic, when she went into reverse to turn around, she ran into the house and then was stuck and couldn't drive forward, and that's when whoever else was there got her out of the car. I obviously don't know, but that's just the only way the car being in that position makes sense to me.
Me too 🙋🏾♀️ As a young inexperienced driver I did something similar - and frankly would have been vulnerable to being yanked out of my car after the crunch & stall (if my ex hadn't been with me on the dark street, in my car - I just got a super bad vibe while looking for a house party).
My car looked almost exactly like this (but it was a broke down shed). It doesn't look staged to me 🤷🏽♀️
@@TheStar798 It just makes the most sense to me. I'm obviously not an expert in any way, but I can absolutely see that happening in a panicked state.
@@GlamburgerGlam Right?? I so, so hope answers are found one day 🙏🏾
@@TheStar798 Me too. I can't imagine the not knowing.
A few issues w roommate: 12:08 - Brianna leaves note for her roommate saying she will see her after work but roommate doesn’t see note cuz goes away for weekend so no one realizes Brianna is missing until days later. So roommate never mentioned to Brianna she was going away for a few days? That doesn’t make sense. Also, 13:42 - when the roommate gets back home n Brianna isn’t there, she automatically assumes Brianna moved back in with her parents. Why would she assume that? Brianna didn’t move her stuff out… and hadn’t mentioned moving out.. yet roommate thinks she moved out? And Brianna parents lived in a different town so it’s not like roommate thought Brianna just went home for a night or 2. She thought she moved out. Without any belongings or saying a word. Roommate sounds super sketch. 25:33 - another discrepancy w roommate. Friends say Brianna was starting to hang w wrong ppl but roommate (Gillianne) claims Brianna wasn’t like that with her n was quiet/liked to stay home n read. Maybe Gillianne is one of the bad ppl Brianna’s other friends were referring to and Gillianne is lying about how Brianna was into to cover her own ass.
You have this very backwards the other friends are known liars Jillan is more truthful then the other group of friends ever have been all the other friends just wanted there 15 minutes of fame.jillan out of town the weekend she disappeared. There is a pretty big chance that Brianna was different with Jillian. For the fact she wasn’t in that group of friends, different group of friends, different actions.
jillian is not the person people are talking about when they say she starting to hang with the wrong crowd 🤦🏻♀️
@@ghostface1889 I know that. Julian went to her sisters house that weekend, so Jillians kind of irrelevant outside of the fact she came back on Monday and Brianna wasn’t that’s about the only usefulness actually Jillian said the quote opposite in an interview a couple years ago with a podcast and also said something similar on an interview from about a month after she disappeared that Brianna wouldn’t go party. She come home and read a book so this person has Jillian count backwards. As far as the line that she had fallen, and with the wrong crowd that came from a reporter or an early new story that she didn’t come from her friends, it’s been repeated by your friends over the years, but it wasn’t directly said why one of the friends all of them majority of the other friends from the previous school were the issues Jillian not so much
@@jada9655 oh no dw i know i was talking about the og comment
@@ghostface1889 I figured that once I read the comment again because I’ve left so many comments that I didn’t read it before I saw the reply so my bad
My thought is James and his girlfriend wanted rid of her for many reasons also the court case, but then anything is possible.
james isn’t the one who keallie was in a relationship with at the time it was another person who cheated on her with brianna james is brianna’s ex though and he did change his story a few times after seeing her car so definitely suspicious
The prosecutors just done a 2 part on this last couple weeks. Brett and Alice done a great job and any amount of coverage is wonderful….,great job John as always. I have my suspect and over the years my mind has not changed.
Pss I’m 52 years old and I still hide things from my mom. I’ve had a new puppy for 6 months and I still haven’t told her. Why? Because I’m 52 and I don’t need to be told what to do and how to do it nor anyone’s approval. If you’re strong and independent as Brianna clearly was, it’s possible she hid lots of things. Not that she did, I’m just glad her parents are open to the idea that it’s possible
The prosecutors were so bias in there coverage and messed up basic information and it seems like they didn’t even try to research Brianna’s case
they got a lot of information wrong
@@ghostface1889 exactly this
@@ghostface1889 I guess if they’re prosecutors, but like some of the stuff they swore, they knew nothing about are probably the most known details if they just simply did the research themselves. seem to be so biased and trying to overlook the facts. It was just beyond me and I left a nice angry comment under the first video they literally like I’m all for coverage on Brianna but if you’re going to do coverage you better be correct and proper and theirs was the most sloppy hour and a half episodes ever like
John I honestly thought you had covered this case already. My heart goes out to Bruce and Kellie💞
Do you believe that the Brianna Maitland case and the Maura Murray case are connected?? They both are similar in appearance. They were the same age group. They both disappeared in similar circumstances. They neither have been found.
I could be wrong, but I think John has stated he does not. I personally believe there was no foul play in Mauras case, but Briannas is definitely foul play.
No 👎
I love your videos. Always interesting content.
I got here from the Jennifer Kesse missing woman in 2006 Florida. Never been found.
I haven’t seen a lot of videos about Vermont I live here and not many cases are covered thank you!
Literally accidentally found this case as I was searching on another one
This happened the same year my only son was born. I will never ever forget Brianna. I hope someone comes forward or a new development. Pretty girl. 🙏
She was working 2 jobs so it makes sense she was taking her GED. Being 1/2 hr from there, not everyone knows everyone John. So that’s incorrect. I’ve lived in Vermont my entire 44 years & I know a lot of people & everyday I’m at the store, I see new faces I’ve never seen before. That space is mountains & trees. A lot of 2nd houses for skiers/snow boarders. And it’s pronounced (St Albans)- Saint ALL-BINS. And Berkshire is Burke-SHEER not Shire like Frodo & Bilbo’s shire.
At the time of her disappearance, new people had moved into the area too. A group of them were dealers and associates of those dealers from NYC.
Creepy places you got there, though
Mandela Effect. I've watched this episode before. It was the first episode I watched on the channel. Covered around Maura Murrey. WTF...
I'm a community manager for lordanarts and have watched every video he's ever put out (even his old skits, lol). I was 10000% sure he covered Briannas case, but I was wrong.
@@Kristi__xo It's it crazy to have shared memories of something that never happened? I'm certain he covered it because John was the first person I ever heard state there could have been a connection between the Murrey and Maitland's case. Of course, he was sourcing the Maura Murray podcast. He was doing 3 Men and Mystery and remember they were covering a hispanic male that had been murdered. His new case afterwards, the first original I watched was a man who disappeared from a small community out of a trailer.
The reason I remember so much was it was also the time my wife took stage 4 level disease and was given 6-12 months to live.
Brianna's disappearance is one of those I follow, might be because of my desire to visit and live in Vermont. Thank you for great video regarding her case.
Why would she have left a note to her friend she would be home between 10 and 12 if the friend had gone away?
And a news article said she left work late but another said she left around 11:20
No, she’s been there for a couple weeks. It wasn’t her home so it was most likely out of courtesy and the fact that when she got home to get ready for work, her roommate was not there and roommate was still in school.
Can anyone else confirm that those car doors were open and the lights on? I feel uncomfortable taking James' word for that.
She overdosed when with him and some drug dealers and they staged her car against the barn
Thank God for the folks who took the photos that morning
Small town inside crime or stranger abduction comes to mind here. She is same age as my youngest daughter.Did someone hit her in back end of car then back it into empty building to cover it up?
Small towns can be really dangerous sometimes
Maybe a few people cornered her, and she was forced to back her car into the barn, and then they got to her.
Someone said they were trying to get rid of her vehicle after they dumped her body & her car got stuck in that old house & they abandoned her car there. 🚗
Brianna was a sweet beautiful person who didnt deserve what happened to her and keillie never should have punched her that was so mean keillie doesnt seem like a nice person shame on you keillie you had no right to hit her
❤ Jon hello handsome man 👨 I have to say this has to get solved for amazing family fighting for there daughter. I know the heartbroken of lose of a Child my Child wasn't murder Thank Good Lord. I pray this family get there Justice. Thank you Always Donna Barnes 😢
Sadly, I think the obvious is what happened here (think horses, not zebras) - I think a lone man snatched her to assault her. Someone local who knew and watched her for a while.
And yes, at least one other person knows or suspects (like a Mother - who washed bloody clothes or saw her son's obsession with the case on TV etc)
If that one person is brave, I think the truth will eventually come out - although it may take another decade or so - and I pray whoever they tell (care home worker? Nurse?) tells Bruce. No matter how unlikely or farfetched they think it is.
Also, I don't think the car is staged. I've done almost exactly the same thing when I was a young inexperienced driver and got a bad vibe on a dark night while looking for a house party, and saw some sketchy aggressive people lurking around the side street of the house 🤷🏽♀️
I sooooooo thought you did this case years ago, I know you did, right? Have I gone insane? Lol, great job, though. 😁
Glitch in the matrix? I thought I've seen John cover it too!
@@oddworld954 💯, I really thought he did.
What does LE know that causes them to lean toward foul play? Cause they’re usually the first to think straight up run away and stick to it.
they did think runaway at first but that shouldn’t have been the first thing that was thought of because it was very obviously foul play her necklace was found broken next to her car which points to a struggle along with other things
when her car was found by other people both car doors were open which points to either there being one person involved and they were trying to get her from her side of the car and she was trying to get out the other side or there was more people involved and the other person was at the other side making sure she couldn’t get out to escape and then the person on her side was able to get her if she was a runaway both car doors being left open wouldn’t make any sense
James definitely has more involvement. A truck was spotted near there and called in. He wasn't worried enough to look for her at all? Call her or her roommate to make sure shes ok? The roommate kicked her out after the fight? Sounds like Keely (jealous ex), James (now ex-boyfriend) and the ex roomie (keelys friend, possibly jealous or ...) had some retaliation for Bri filing charges. The drug life was just a cover for them. They probably ran her off the road and backed into the barn to cover up the damage. Knowing she was trained took her with/threatened a weapon.
james was brianna’s ex who he was still apparently friends with after they broke up he’s definitely suspicious after changing his story a few times when he saw her car but why would he be mad about the charges against keallie she was in a relationship with another boy and had been for two years and that’s who cheated on keallie with brianna not james so if this was to be true james being involved in this wouldn’t make sense
This is one of the first true crime cases I ever heard. I can't believe it's almost been 20 years since she went missing.
She lived 300 feet from Canada?? Her killer and possibly her remains are in Canada, which probably makes finding her impossible. Unfortunately like Maura Murray, Brianna will probably never be found.
This is close to my state of Maine. Her & Kimberly Moreau are the two nearby cases that come to my mind: and I think both are on the BRINK of being solved. It does seem like Brianna was dragged out of her car & killed. There has to be a lot of evidence left behind or near her car: that can be tested.
Yes a broken bracelet outside the car sounds like a struggle there.
The only thing that makes sense to me with her car being backed up, is that somebody in a car was waiting for her to drive by on the road a little beyond the barn. I would think that person drove onto her road when she came, and blocked her way. And that she backed up to get away from that person. Maybe it was slippery, ice on the way, or she panicked? And she drove into the barn backwards. If that person had a gun, martial arts are not going to help much.. I really hope the truth will come out soon, of what happened to her, so that her loved ones can find some peace. You mention Brandon Lawson, I believe he was shot. I'm happy that at least they found his remains, and his family can start mourning him.
Thank you. Prayers for Brianna.
Great coverage as always Mr Lordan!!!
PS: the supposed casino siting sounds like a red herring 😢
I know her parents say that she wasnt involved in the drug world, but as a recovering addict I hid my addiction from my parents for over 10 years. They never knew I was involved in drugs at all, Im not saying she was but there is a possibility that she may have been and was just keeping it hid from her parents.
they didn’t say she wasn’t involved they said she wasn’t that involved with drugs where she would get to a point that she would owe drug dealers money meaning she wasn’t an addict there’s a difference between experimenting with drugs and being a drug addict
the pi and the police have literally said it’s not drug related the pi thinks it’s connected to maura’s disappearance
The police screwed up this case. You would think it could have been solved soon after the car was discovered. The State Trooper didn't think much of it and didn't treat it as a crime scene. When in doubt you should always treat it as a crime scene, no harm done if discovered it wasn't. The car parked in such a way and her necklace found on the ground, personal items in the car, especially contact lenses and a prescription, doesn't look suspicious to the Trooper. Did he even check the driver's seat if it was moved to allow a taller person to drive. Now the ex boyfriend who could have been involved is dead so we will never know. All these years and the poor parents have to go through suffering of not knowing what happened, why and where her remains are because of incompetent police work. I always say you can get away with murder if the police are not qualified.
The ex female friend/ roommate who assaulted her could be involved also, especially when she was charged with that crime. That's a reason to get rid of someone, she may have an alibi however alibi's can be broken.
it wasn’t the roommate who assaulted her it was another girl
I really thought you had covered this case before. Perhaps it's a different case that's similar.
Was there any relationship between the ex boyfriend and the coworker? Bc it's extremely suspicious that she'd go missing after work when she was already violently attacked and then filed charges. There's clear motive. I can only imagine she had an airtight alibi. I hope answers are found.
Bruce used this tragedy to make something great in his daughter's memory. I'm wondering if someone hit the back of her car to get her to stop. Once they got her to stop they took her and then backed her car into the building so it would look like she ran into the building and wouldn't know another vehicle was involved. I hope they still have the vehicle and can check to see if any other paint is on the vehicle. If she moved away to start over she would have taken or cashed her checks. You need money to start over. Did her exboyfriend James come up this story about seeing the car and shutting off the lights because he knew his DNA would show up? Someone knows what happened and they are protecting people. I hope Bruce and his family get some answers.
I've personally seen two accidents where people lost control of their cars, the cars spun 180, maintained their momentum and then slammed into something.
One was on a highway during rain and the guy rammed into a wall backwards. Another was in a neighborhood, and the car actually crossed a yard and went backwards through the front door of a house of a family that was out of town for Thanksgiving (this was the night before Thanksgiving).
I would like to see some analysis of the road and the sides of the road from the police, to see where tire marks were and what they looked like.
Thought of looking at the tire tracks is impossible, because the cop did not take pictures of the tire tracks in the grass
If you look closely, you can see dried dirt tracks on the road that lead up the grass and into the front of the car. It looks like it was backed in too fast from the road and crashed into the house.
I would def remain open to the drug connection. I’m not saying she was involved in them but she may have had connectivity with ppl who were.
The car backed in to make a hole for someone to enter the home maybe. You can see that the hole made could have been used as an entrance.
Such a haunting case... I've always found it strange that the scene wasn't treated as a crime or at least accident scene from the get-go.
🙏
Was the car in drivable condition when it was found? Did the rear crash into the barn cause it to be undrivable or unmovable from that position? Being so close to the road, is it possible she was being chased or pursued, she decided to change driving direction so backed in to that space to turn around but, in a panicked state, backed into the barn, and then couldn’t drive away because she was stuck?
It seems the police believe it was a struggle, not an accidental driving into the building. I could be wrong but this has always been the way it was presented
Yes, her case was drivable. She didn't run out of gas or have any car issues that have been made public I believe.
I always thought she had been planning on meeting someone at that house for money or drugs.
But I didn’t realize there was a time frame from 10 to 12 am where she didn’t know what time exactly she would get out of work. She also didn’t have a cell phone and Apparently she didn’t make any phone calls to anyone, so how would the person know to meet her there at a specific time
This is similar to the Maura Murry case.
Sad case. One possibility on the way the car is situated is that Brianna was trying to back up due to being blocked in by someone. Look at the way the front wheels are turned. She may have met someone there, and they blocked her in, things went awry, and she tried to get out of there quickly, backing into the building. Remember, this photo was taken by a passerby the next day. Also, did you know that one of Brianna's ex bf drove by and seen the car there as well?
🤗🙏💓 Thanks John, From Lindsey
I believe she saw her ex bf earlier that day when she was with her mom when she went outside....he probably upset her by being with the lady that assaulted her thats why she was upset when she came back in the store to meet her mom....Ex probably told her meet him over to the farm house and people probably beat her up and took her and killed her....the reason the car backed in the farm because she probably panicked when she tried to get away and put in the wrong gear....just my assumption
Bruce reminds me of John Walsh-A devestated father who decided to take his tragedy and turn it into something amazing and useful for helping others. It’s incredible to think about how many people have been found/helped/justified because of these men who refuse to let evil win and pay tribute to their lost children. They absolutely deserve our recognition and support
Her name was mentioned on Maura Murray documentary. I wonder, if these cases could be handled together..
I pray this is solved and that justice is served 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Brianna was killed by that guy from NYC was he ever charged ? The drug dealers from NYC
Where is your evidence?
no they were looked into and the cops spoke to them there was never any proof they were involved just rumours
what's their names
Who was the last person to see her?? Who had the MEANS OPPORTUNITY MOTIVE ??
You should cover the case of Harper rose Rutland Vermont she was a baby that got killed by a daycare worker more people need to hear about this !
It's a baffling mystery. This is one of those cases that will probably remain unsolved.
As a addict of 15 years I can concur with that statement about her not picking up her paychecks
When you have a habit, the "liquid" assets like straight up cash or jewelry or electronics, anything that is worth something with little effort that someone would easily take in lieu of cash is the first thing to go.
I mean that's why those type of things don't just stay untouched if you can get them.
Something prevented her from collecting her cash.
Think about it, how would she be eating or surviving?
Unfortunately we know where this leads...
Its the ex boyfriend he places himself of the crime, she was flirting with another dude while still dating him at a party, talk about being scorn. Thats motive the owing drug money is silly. Those black thugs would just stiff her tell her get lost instead they kill her, makes zero sense. He basically telling on himself saying he's wasted people turn violent real quick when hurt. Rust cole would have him singing in 24 hours.
Couldve sworn I heard this case first from you.
I don’t think that’s her at the casino
I'm guessing another employee from the restaurant asked her for a ride home and harmed her.....
I'm imagining a scenario of a vengeful girl and the boyfriend that had been fought over, maybe in a truck or car, following Brianna from her job, and cutting her up along that road. I imagine Brianna slamming on her brakes, seeing the two of them coming to the car, reversing her car to try and do a turn onto the road, back in the direction of her work, the front wheels are slightly turned as if trying to do a sharp turn back down the road from the direction she had come... but in a panic overshooting and backing into the building, when the boy opens one car door, and Brianna runs out of, or is dragged out of the other. .. is caught, and bundled into the waiting car or truck. We've heard of this kind of revenge before, with girls recruiting boyfriends to help them to show their 'loyalty'. If James happened to want to be back with Keallie, maybe its something he would have done with her. This explains him needing to place himself at the car, if he was the one to drag Brianna out of it. I dont care how good a person is at Martial arts, two people, especially if one is a male, are going to overpower you. I think Brianna was murdered and dumped/concealed somewhere. Just me imagining a scenario, of course...
WOW you did reference her early on in your searchlight on Maura Murray to be fair to you, but better late than never my friend
Trying to understand how an abduction would transpire given the set up: Assuming Brianna drove alone from the Black Lantern, about a mile away toward her lodging that night, and near the Dutchburn intersection and at the Dutchburn abandoned building, how was she physically abducted? If she encountered someone threatening while driving in the car at that intersection, she could have at least locked her doors and maybe sped away. The first person at the car--her ex-boyfriend--claims both side doors were open with the headlights on. Assuming she stopped at the building, she still could have locked the doors to some threat. How did the abductor/s get in the car? She would have had to meet someone she did not find threatening at first, and as that interaction progressed, lost control of the keys, or let the person/s into her car. I don't know how to make sense of the car backed into the building, unless staged, in which case she could have been abducted elsewhere. If she was alone in the car, and backed into the building, she still could have locked her doors. Assuming someone was already in the car hiding when she got in to leave the restaurant could explain how she lost control, but yet the car's interior showed no signs of struggle. I suspect she stopped and met someone, and lost control of the car in that interaction. The car position was then staged, but I don't understand why positioned the way it was. Why would abductors leave the headlights on, drawing attention?
The woman who punched Brianna while she was waiting, sitting in the car, knows what happened to her. She needs to be questioned
THat road has a curb so it would be difficult to get the car up over the curb. Not impossible though. I think maybe she pulled in the drive to the barn to talk to someone.
she wasn’t meeting anyone she didn’t know when she was going to finish work and she didn’t have a phone
