The disappearance of Brianna Maitland - Awareness

What this episode covers

March 19th, 2004. It’s 11:20 PM and 17 year old Brianna Maitland just finished her shift at work. Her coworkers invited her to stay and hangout, but she declined the invitation. She had an early shift at her second job the next morning and needed to go home and rest. Her coworkers watched her enter her car and drive off. None of them knew they would never see her again. Her car was found one mile down the road backed up against an abandoned farm house. Connections with drug dealers and other murders became the main focal points in the investigation of her disappearance. Searches were made throughout the Vermont area as her family pleaded with law enforcement to continue the search and take all tips that come in seriously. From being thrown in a river to being killed over a drug dispute with her dealer, and being held hostage in a drug house were only some of the endless tips that whirled around the disappearance of Brianna Maitland. Dead end after dead end has left both police and her family grasping for explanations. The trunk of her car was filled with her belongings, her history of drug use came to light, apparent doppelgangers being spotted around the tri state area, has all made the case of learning what really happened to the teenager all the more confusing. It has been almost two decades since Brianna Maitland disappeared that night, and investigators are no closer now to solving it than they were back in 2004. She came from a small community. Surely someone saw something. Does no one in the area know anything about what happened to her? Was she taken? Did she run away? Is she still alive? What happened to Brianna? Will we ever know? Or will it be a mystery forever?
