Date Of Birth: 10/08/86

Weight: 105-118 lbs.

Distinguishing Characteristics: Scars, Marks, Tattoos: Caucasian female. Brianna has a faint scar extending from her left eyebrow to her forehead. Her left nostril is pierced; she wore a small ring or stud in it at the time of her disappearance. She wears contact lenses, but they were left behind when she vanished. Brianna’s nicknames are Bri and B.
Details of Disappearance: Brianna was last seen at her dishwashing job at the Black Lantern Inn in Montgomery, Vermont, between 11:20 p.m. and midnight on March 19, 2004. Her coworkers asked her to have dinner with them, but she declined because she was tired and had to get up early to go her second job as a waitress in St. Albans, Vermont. She left work and was supposed to go home to where she lived with a friend in Sheldon, Vermont. She never arrived and her friend assumed she had moved back in with her parents and brother in East Franklin, Vermont. The friend called Brianna’s parents on March 23 and found out she wasn’t there, and reported her missing. Two of Brianna’s uncashed paychecks were on the front seat of the car. She also left behind all her clothing, her medicine, driver’s license, her makeup, and her contact lenses. Some of her belongings were strewn on the ground in front of the car. A woman’s fleece jacket was found in a field near Brianna’s car, but it apparently did not belong to her.
The Oldsmobile had sustained minor damage; it had apparently backed into the building and punctured a hole in the wall. Investigators later came to believe the accident may have been staged. A photograph of the vehicle as it was found is posted with this case summary.
Investigating Agency: Vermont State Police Detective Sergeant Glynn at (802) 524-5993
