it’s true. The SO has been a nightmare with helping investigators.

brianna suffers from a form of autism that creates a sort of social delay. And she makes very child like decisions. For her to do this on her own accord is hard to believe. She could have been manipulated by another person with bad intentions to go with them to “start a new life”but i don’t think she would have planned and done it by herself. I could be wrong, she is an adult now. But just from a pattern we’ve seen, she’s very dependent on our mother and her gf and struggles with making even small decisions by herself.
I’m so glad you are sharing with us. Have you been able to share this with investigators? I may be wrong but I thought this type of disability would change the label to endangered missing. I don’t know if that helps get more attention or not. No one would know specifically why it was changed.

Have investigators indicated looking at phone pings? I hope they are trying that.

Please study the TikTok available closely.

Also, can you verify that Brianna was in the Navy?

I don't have social media....can you explain what this is? Thanks!

So - if someone is in a situation they don't want to go home to (speculation) and has no vehicle, who do they turn to for assistance ? That would be my first question. So very little is known about Brianna that I'm wondering if she was perhaps somewhat isolated from friends and family. Also wondering how long she had worked at Plains and if any co-workers really even "knew" her well. JMHO
 
I haven't heard anything about twins. Where did that come from? The 2 girls in the video are the only children of Brianna's girlfriend. Digging through social media, it seems like Brianna and her girlfriend haven't been together all that long. (Maybe about 6 months.) Seems to me that her girlfriend is putting her girls out there to try to appeal to Brianna to come home. That doesn't sit well with me...putting the children in the middle of an 'adult' domestic situation.

Brianna may have left on her own free will. That would not surprise me, however, I wonder why she hasn't been in contact with her mother and sister.

There's been no mention of twins in MSM so it likely came from SM.
Seeing those little girls, crying, holding her missing poster, really smacked of exploitation to me.
They should be shielded from the media and have their privacy protected at all costs.
It definitely doesn't sit well with me either.
I do hope Brianna is found soon or contacts someone to let them know she's okay.

I would be more inclined to think she was overwhelmed and left on her own if she had shown up to her mother’s. That’s what makes logical sense to me, and since her mother has come to Texas to try to find her worries me. Also that she didn’t take her wallet is weird if she were planning leave. But she could have REALLY wanted to start over completely I suppose. At 22 I would have been incapable of being a mother to girls those ages as I think many 22 year olds would be, so I still think there’s a decent chance she was overwhelmed and left voluntarily.
 
Why would she leave her wallet in her locker during break? Wasn't this a lunch break? Did she usually take her lunch or go get some lunch? It would help if we knew the answers to these questions. I guess I am always leery when a person as young as 22 has to be taken to work and picked up at such a late hour. In this day and time it just rings controlling to me.JMO

I think it was mentioned earlier that Brianna didn't drive. She had to get to/from work somehow.

I'm leaning toward voluntary departure and I hope that is the case and she is safe. Was there anything missing from her wallet - maybe she left the wallet but some items she would need? The nearby bus station has caught my eye.

Brainstorming only. jmo
 
Do we know the time the end of her shift was, when it was that SM was supposed to pick her up?

Trying to decipher the text exchange. SM wrote “It’s been 3 hours since I’ve heard anything from you”, and that came before she wrote “Now it’s midnight”, then later “I’m on my way”.

Why I wonder is because stating “It’s been 3 hours since I’ve heard anything from you” seems odd to me if Brianna was still supposed to be working her shift at the time. Thinking on it more, however, maybe it’s because I’m older and didn’t grow up with smartphones (no texting then). What I’m wondering is if it sounds controlling to those of you younger if not hearing from an SO in 3 hours would be unusual while the other was working.

Or, was it 3 hours past her shift time ending, and that’s why SM was concerned? But she says sometime after midnight “I’m on my way”, so I’m confused as to when Brianna’s shift was to be over.

This morning, the back 1/4 of the lot was filled with 18 wheelers (with people inside them, like they are waiting for something).
Well, the drivers could be on a break or they could be waiting for a pick-up or drop-off at the plant.

Random truck drivers could be useful, she may have hitched a ride with one....

But they could also be nefarious. A truck driver could know you out, open the back, put you in and drive and dump you miles away. It has happened too many times before.

It would be interesting if Plains Dairy or LE could open up her locker with a spare key and see if her purse is still inside there.

Interesting her co-workers aren't saying much and the dairy company doesn't seem to have reviewed their camera footage.
 
I know a handful of people at my work in their 20s without licenses who get rides to and from work- it isn't too strange. What is strange is the facebook interactions between the two girlfriends highlighted earlier in the thread.

I really doubt she ran away- if I were in an abusive relationship or unprepared for the responsibility of fatherhood and I ran away, I would take my wallet, sentimental items, etc. She didn't do this.

Whether or not she usually left her wallet at home may not be relevant to the case too- sometimes I forget my keys, wallet, etc before I go to work and it could have just been a coincidence on her part.
 
Based on the facts, the scenario I imagined was one where the two women had an argument. Then Brianna went to work and was angry. She contacted someone she knew to get some drugs that would help her cope. The person delivered the drugs. Brianna took them into the person's car. She overdosed. The person panicked and drove off and left her to die somewhere.

this is actually a BRILLIANT point slowpoke!

It is weird. When people are at work, their partners don't usually expect automatic responses and don't say vauge stuff like that, even modern high schoolers. Usually we just assume that the person we're talking to is busy. The whole point of texting is that you can get back to the person on your own terms. Expecting instant responses is usually a pretty big red flag.

It never even occured to me that the wording of this was incredibly off.

Of course, maybe she just made sure to text her girlfriend frequently as a love language. Or maybe she texted her on all her breaks? I'm not sure about tx, but where I live we have a 10 minute break every two hours required by law (15 min if you're under 18)- so maybe it broke some sort of pattern they had?

The on my way text isn't too unordinary though. When someone is coming to pick me up at a pre-agreed time, they'll just text me that they're on their way even if we weren't talking about it immediately beforehand.
 
Her mother stated that Brianna does not have a driver’s license.
No car, no DL, no money. BG had to petition the court re: inability to pay fine/fee on her case although she did pay about half. Someone upthread noted that the 30th might have been payday, so she could have taken that paycheck and left.

Also that notation at the bottom of the court case info about an electronic file transmission? I cannot open it right now, but wasn't that noted Feb. 25? It could be an abstract requested by a new employer where BG admitted the case and she signed an authorization that some entity could have access. IMO this misdemeanor would not preclude her from enlisting in the military, and that is exactly what they would do to verify her case directly from the court. She may have entered witness protection, joined the Peace Corps, or has entered a women's shelter and transport group to get away from abuse or threats that no one knows about not even the SO and family. It could also be about a transfer of her remaining probation to another jurisdiction.

The SO has no legal standing? So I think BG's mother could ask that court what entity requested the electronic file? They may refuse to answer, but she could try. All JMO.

Not all 22 year old's want to involve their Mom in their relationship issues and it takes money to travel. Maybe Brianna has a confidant who has been supportive and was willing to help? That's what I'm hoping for anyway.

Her wallet was left at home, not work.

According Gilbert’s mom, Brianna does not have a driver’s license and that night she left her wallet at home.
