Brianna Maitland






At the time of her disappearance, Maitland was living with her friend, Jillian Stout, in Sheldon, Vermont, about 20 miles (32 km) west of Montgomery.[7] At about 3:30 p.m. on Friday, March 19, Maitland left a note saying she'd return after work that evening. She departed for the Black Lantern Inn in a 1985 Oldsmobile sedan registered to her mother, Kellie. After a busy, uneventful evening at work, Maitland clocked out at 11:20 p.m. She told her co-workers she needed to get home and rest before working the next day at her second job in St. Albans.[8][4] By all accounts Maitland was alone in her vehicle when she left.[9]
Early the next afternoon, a Vermont State Police trooper was dispatched to an abandoned house on Route 118 in Richford,[10] about a mile from the Black Lantern Inn. Maitland's car was found backed into the side of the house. Known locally as "the old Dutchburn house,"[11] the siding of the home had been breached by the rear end of the car. A piece of plywood that had been covering a window lay on the car's trunk. Two of Maitland's paychecks were on the front seat of the car, and outside it, law enforcement observed loose change, a water bottle, and an unsmoked cigarette.[12] The trooper assumed the car had been abandoned by a drunk driver, and a towing company took the vehicle to a local garage.[4]
Maitland was not reported missing for a number of days.[4] Her mother, Kellie, did not learn about the accident with the Oldsmobile until five days after it was discovered. Jillian Stout saw Brianna's note on Friday, March 19, spent the weekend away, and found the note undisturbed when she returned on Monday. Assuming Brianna was staying elsewhere, she did not call Kellie Maitland until the following day.
On Tuesday, March 23, Kellie began calling various people in order to find Brianna, including friends as well as her employers, none of whom had seen or spoken to her.[13] Failing in her efforts — and still unaware that the vehicle Brianna had been driving had been recovered — she filed a missing persons report that day. On Thursday, March 25, Kellie and her husband, Bruce, gave over photos of Brianna to Vermont State Police in St. Albans. A trooper showed them a picture of the car crashed at the Dutchburn house, upon which they immediately identified the car as Maitland's.[4] Kellie Maitland said in interviews that she was "instinctively revulsed" by the photo, and believed someone else, not Brianna, had left the car in such a way.[4]  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Brianna_Maitland

RIP Jacob Wetterling

On October 22, 1989, just after 9:00 p.m., Jacob Wetterling (11), his younger brother Trevor (10), and a friend Aaron (11), were cycling home from a  convenience store  where they had gone to rent a video, [1]  when a masked gunman came out of a driveway and ordered the boys to throw their bikes into a ditch and lie face down on the ground. He then asked each boy his age. Jacob's brother was told to run toward a nearby wooded area and not look back or else he would be shot.
