Brianna Maitland, 17, disappeared after her evening shift at the Black Lantern Inn in Montgomery, Vermont.
Her vehicle was found the next day. After 18 years, forensics identified DNA that was left near her vehicle. Brianna has still not been found.
On March 19, 2004, Brianna Maitland took her GED test. She met her mother, Kellie.
They grabbed lunch and went shopping. Kellie stated she dropped Brianna off at her home between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m.
Brianna worked her shift and clocked out at around 11:20 p.m., telling her co-workers that she wanted to hurry home so that she could get enough rest before she had to report for work at her second job.
On March 20, 2004, police were dispatched to an abandoned house in Richford, Vermont.
The officer found a 4-door green 1985 Oldsmobile 88 that had backed into the side of the house. The state trooper found Brianna Maitland’s belongings in the car.
On the ground near the car, the state trooper found a water bottle and unsmoked cigarettes. The officer arranged a towing company, thinking a drunk driver had left it.
On March 23, 2004, Brianna’s roommate and Kellie spoke. They realized nobody heard from Brianna for a few days.
Brianna’s parents filed a missing person’s report; they learned that Brianna’s Oldsmobile was towed and impounded.
Investigators discovered DNA evidence near her car but did not identify a suspect.
They did not find any other evidence. Investigators determined Brianna’s disappearance was suspicious. The FBI became involved.
Since 2004, investigators have followed many leads, tips, and reports regarding the Disappearance of Brianna Maitland.
An incarcerated woman told investigators Brianna was murdered and dismembered before her remains being taken to a pig farm.
Investigators never substantiate this. There have also been possible sightings in different areas of the country, but nothing has led to the location of Brianna Maitland.
This is still an active and ongoing case. Anyone with information regarding the disappearance of Brianna Maitland, is asked to call the Vermont State Police (802) 524-5993.
