MA MA - Brittany Tee, 35, Brookfield, 10 Jan 2023 *last seen leaving a residence*

There's a little information about the phone call in the article @TwinkieDefense just posted. Brittany spoke with her mother a half hour before she disappeared. Her sister said, “She was not intoxicated or altered in any way.”

From the article:

“We had a brief conversation and she started to cry. I asked what was wrong and she said, ‘Oh nothing mom, we’ll talk about it later,'” ST said.

When she couldn’t reach Brittany Tee for two days, Susan Tee got worried and texted her boyfriend.

“He called me back very shortly after saying, what do you mean, how is Brittany doing? Isn’t she with you?” Susan Tee said.

They immediately went to the house and discovered Brittany Tee’s Jeep, with her purse and keys still inside.
Whose house did they go to where they found her car, keys and purse? I had thought she left that at her bf's house. If her items were there, why would her bf have thought she was at her mom's house? Has he really been cleared or has he been "cleared", like they just don't want to put anything out there?

Brittany left the home where she lived with her boyfriend. When Brittany's mother couldn't reach her, she texted Brittany's boyfriend who thought Brittany was at her mother's.

They (mother, and possibly sister?) immediately went to the house (where Brittany lived with her boyfriend) and discovered Brittany's Jeep, with her purse and keys still inside.

Friends told WBZ-TV that Brittany's vehicle was found at her bf's house (see 2nd link below).

Her bf may have assumed Brittany was at her mother's house because she had just talked to her using his phone. Or perhaps that's where Brittany told him she was going. We don't know. MOO

 
So what do we know regarding Brittany's vehicle?

Since her purse and keys were found inside her Jeep, then logically it makes sense that she tried to start it, with the intent of driving somewhere. IMO this implies that her Jeep had been in running condition fairly recently, and that Brittany expected to be able to use it that night. It also suggests that Brittany herself placed her keys and purse in the Jeep, but we don't know that for certain. Based on MSM reports, all we know is that both her keys and purse were found inside.

We don't know why she couldn't drive the Jeep to her destination. Possibly a flat tire, out of fuel, or some other mechanical reason. AFAIK not much information has been released about this by LE or her family.

If she needed to go somewhere that night, in winter, why not ask her BF, or her mother, for a ride if her vehicle was not operating?

Also, why would she leave her keys and purse in the Jeep if she decided to walk to her destination?

If these facts are correct, then IMO something doesn't make sense. This could be simply a lack of information on our part.

Her sister stated that Brittany was upset about something, but again, we have only fragmentary information here.

I seem to remember that the car wasn't working. I don't recall ever hearing that her keys and purse were in the car. Can anyone point to a news article with this information?

If that is true, it changes things somewhat to me. I believe she was seen or tracked near the police station then disappeared. Been a while, so I'm not clearly remembering. If so, she was without her purse and phone if they were in the car. Did she call someone to pick her up but didn't grab or was unable to, her purse and phone from her non working car? Mainly, not a true fact maybe that her belongings were in the car? More speculating then. Unfortunate that she didn't give her mother a 'hint' of what was wrong to make her upset leaving her bf's house, as that might lead somewhere if it involved another person. She didn't go back into the bf' to say, can you give me a ride, my car won't start. This is if she attempted to start it, then leaving her belongings in it, if they were in there, she didn't retrieve them. It makes a difference to thoughts if her things were in her jeep.
I know her distraught family cannot or are unable for reasons to answer what we'd want to know, but it would clear things up and change directions. LE knows the details though as they are supposed to and I just hope some closure happens for her family. I remember LE believed strongly she was in the woods, but sounds like no, she is not. That must be due to them losing track of her at that point.

My understanding is that her purse and keys were in her Jeep, but she had her wallet, ipad, and phone. Her phone was not working so she used her boyfriend's, and her boyfriend thought that was to ask her mom for a ride. MOO

Tee's family reported her missing Thursday night, after growing concerned that they had been unable to reach her. They believe she had her wallet, iPad and cellphone with her – but her phone is no longer working.

“He knew she was speaking with me and he thought she was asking me to come pick her up,” Susan Tee said.

Investigators said the boyfriend has cooperated fully and the family is not releasing his name because they said there is no evidence he did anything wrong.

Her phone was last pinged near the Brookfield State Police Barracks on Route 9.

Thank you for very good refresher!!
 
Prior to going missing, did Brittany mention to family or friends that her Jeep was non-operational, or had she driven it in the days before she was last seen?

Her family indicates that Brittany's keys and purse were found in her Jeep. Assuming she (Brittany) placed those items in the Jeep, then logic indicates she expected her Jeep to be operational IMO.

However, if Brittany KNEW in advance that her Jeep wasn't working then it seems odd that her purse and keys would be found inside. MOO

Well it turns out that she was not asking her mother to come pick her up, and for some reason, the bf didn't bring her home either. Something happened in a very short time, a time she must of decided to walk home? Go to a place close by? (Forget if the prev. employer, liquor store I think, was close). Who saw her, why would she go with them, obv. the State Police place has cameras I'd think for sure, but she may not have been in view of them or had even passed it yet. Whatever happened, happened quickly. Could it of been bad timing of a bad person driving by and stopping? We'd of heard if she had contacted someone via her ipad to pick her up or make a plan with I'd think. I just really wonder about the former bf with a large amount of land/farm that was mentioned a while back. Sure he was investigated, if possible/legal, for LE to ask to see his phone for tracking his movements that night. So all awful.
 
So Brittany's keys and purse were found in the car. Does anyone know what keys? House keys, car keys? Was the car locked?

I have heard that a Brittany's SIM card was found at her home. Do we know that as a fact? Is there any news report that mentions this?

I also heard that the car wasn't in working condition, but I am also not 100% sure of this. Does anyone have any news report that mention this?

It also appears that Brittany did take her phone (even though it wasn't working apparently) and her wallet.
All these things, if all true, seem puzzling and contradicting. Why would she leave her purse and keys behind?
If her phone wasn't working, she couldn't have called anyone to pick her up.

Information regarding Brittany's Jeep has been vague from both MSM and LE. All that's been mentioned so far is that her vehicle was not in running condition. Exactly what that means hasn't been made clear.

As posted earlier in this thread, her family indicated that Brittany's keys and purse were found in her Jeep. If Brittany herself placed those items in the Jeep then, IMO, it would suggest the possibility that she believed it could have been operational that night.

As others have stated, we're missing valuable pieces of information regarding the events of that night.

I agree, if Brittany left the keys and purse in the car, she probably believed it was operational.

Perhaps a wild speculation, but I wonder. Perhaps the car WAS operational and she drove somewhere. Something bad happened and someone else returned the car with some of her belongings to cover up (and possible disabled the car in some way). An alternative scenario is where she walked somewhere with all her belongings, something bad happened and someone else returned the keys and purse to cover up. Of course it would be quite bold and risky to return the car and/or the belongings, but who knows. It would be interesting to know whether the keys included the car key, whether the car door was unlocked and whether there were any forensic traces of other people in the car.

Another possibility I am thinking of is that she was just in a fragile state of mind and wandered off somewhat aimlessly. It is possible that she had an accident, an adverse health event or succumbed to the elements. But searches have failed to find her. One would think she would have stayed near the road or near paths an not go into any wilderness at night. In that case she would have been found by now. On the other hand, if she walked in a random direction where there are no particular paths, then it might be very hard to find. I know of a recent case, John Lawler, who went fishing and was lost. It took more than half a year to find him, even though they searched a lake
and did drones, K9's etc. But a fisherman may go off the beaten path to find a good fishing spot during the day (in summer).

The search continues in central Massachusetts for Brittany Tee, who was last seen on Jan. 10.

“We’re praying to God every night to bring some resolution to the family and everyone else involved, but to know she still might be out there, it’s heartbreaking and pulls at your heart, you know?” one Brookfield resident said.

[...]

According to Worcester County District Attorney Joe Early, investigators have no reason to believe Tee was kidnapped. Investigators examined Tee's laptop and Brookfield police inventoried her vehicle, a white Jeep.

Bumping one of the earliest reports. Police examined BT's laptop and inventoried her white jeep.
 
Friends also told WBZ-TV that Tee's car was found at her boyfriend's house. Her phone was last pinged near the Brookfield State Police Barracks on Route 9.

Last known phone ping

I wonder if this ping was on Tuesday or what date since she was not reported missing until Friday.

If BT walking, is Route 9 in the direction towards her mother's place? Are there surveillance cameras in the area?

So much points to BT voluntarily leaving but I don't think she would intentionally cause her mother this kind of worry for 5 months. JMO

Where are you Brittany?
 
Brittany Tee, 35, hasn't been seen since about 8:30 p.m. last Tuesday when she left a Brookfield home on foot, officials say. State and local police believe she walked away from the home on Main Street, where her sister says she's been living, and disappeared near Lewis Field down the road.

[...]

Tee's friends and family are begging for help as well. With every day that goes by, they get more worried. "She would not do this on purpose," sister Bethany Tee said.


Brittany Tee left her car behind and her cell phone isn't working. Her sister said they last talked Tuesday night when Brittany "seemed fine."

Left home on foot at 8:30 pm

To leave home on foot on a January evening tells me either she was not going far or she intended to hitch hike. If the last phone ping was on Tuesday near 8:30 pm, then I'd say she turned it off.

IMO, I don't think driving was an option. Dead battery, no fuel, mechanical issue? Regardless, she was on foot.

Lewis Field to the State Police Barracks (last ping) has her walking for about 15 minutes -- less than a mile.

Agreed. If she was on foot, at night, in January winter weather, then it seems logical that Brittany's intended destination would likely be close to her BF's residence.

Interesting to note that if she walked along Post Rd I believe she would pass by her place of employment (the liquor store) before reaching the State Police building. At this point there's nothing from LE or MSM indicating the liquor store was her intended destination that night, but IMO it's something to keep in mind.

When she couldn’t reach Brittany Tee for two days, Susan Tee got worried and texted her boyfriend. “He called me back very shortly after saying, what do you mean, how is Brittany doing? Isn’t she with you?” Susan Tee said.

Per this report, Brittany's family was unable to contact her for two days after she walked away from her BF's residence, and her BF seemed surprised by this news when contacted by her family. Her Jeep would have been clearly visible to him since it was reportedly parked at his residence. Do we know if her BF attempted to call or text her during these two days?

^^rsbm

Good to know. And If Bay Path Liquors was her destination, they close at 9 pm so I think she would have walked there directly-- without a detour.

Jan 18, 2023. "We do believe she's in the area..."

Susan Tee said, who lives in Spencer, it is not like her daughter to not contact her family to check in or to share her whereabouts if she were leaving for any length of time.

“She’s amazing. She’s very strong. She’s loving,” Susan Tee said of her missing daughter. “This is totally out of character."

Brittany’s mother said she doesn’t think her daughter would run away on her own.

“No! No! No!” Susan Tee insisted. “I do not think so. In my heart, absolutely not.”

[..]

Susan Tee said her daughter once worked at Bay Path Spirits in Brookfield. On the door of the business, there is a poster seeking information on Brittany's whereabouts.
