Good couple of points made by the last poster.
I recently saw a photo of Maitlands face after the broken nose and its clear she was involved in a serious fight awhile before she went missing, of course it might have nothing to do with her disappearance but it does give a kind of indication of the type of people Brianna knew and indicates she certainly had at least one enemy.
It could be nothing related, but am I wrong in saying that this is very bizarre behavior? I know plenty of women get into physical fights, but I can only remember one occasion in my entire life where I witnessed in person two women fighting physically and that was in middle school. The assailant could be psychotic, but it seems like something was very, very wrong to provoke such a reaction and goes beyond normal bullying. The same is true about her choice to drop out of her new HS due to bullying by people she thought were friends. Something doesn't add up.
Perhaps the strangest thing is the lemon / lime slice and cup near the car, like it had fallen off the car.
Very strange. It's been suggested that it was from the restaurant; some drunk threw a drink on her car to get rid of it and the lime froze to the car. That's a stretch though.
t doesn't make sense to me that she would stop at that house to make a cocktail unless there was a party, but a blogger about this case has debunked that over and over saying the timing does not jive with her attending a party between the time she left work and the time her car was first seen. She could have been given a drink to take on the road (more on this later, though she wasn't known to drink and drive). There was vomit found on the driver side of the car. This with the lime would make me think of alcohol poisoning or a drug overdose. It is unknown if the vomit was fresh (I would hope she wouldn't drive around like that). It makes me wonder if the timeline is actually correct about when she left work and the car was discovered. It was spotted three times that night/early morning.
The key is clearly the evidence found in the car and this explains why police have been so concerned about giving out too much information. The reason for withholding must be that someone else, 1 or more, was travelling with Brianna in that car. I feel that the hidden passenger theory is unlikely and might be a smoke screen for the real hypothesis the cops have. Sadly I feel Brianna is probably not with us anymore due to time passed and strong foul play signals, nevertheless I hope they find this girl soon for the family.
I've seen it mentioned once, and only once, that a coworker was seen at the driver side window talking to Brianna before she drove off. He could have given her a drink (doubtful), could have planned to meet her later, or could have ended up riding in the car with her. There is some skepticism among readers of that blog about how the coworkers seemed so positive they saw her get in her car and drive home; it isn't something that is usually noticed so adamantly. In most cases, something like this would be implied: "I didn't see her get in her car but I imagine she went home since that's what she said."
This is a very complicated case, and I don't know if anybody can be trusted. There are a lot of liars trying to get other liars in trouble ("so and so confessed to me...", the whole Ducharme sister thing and the affidavit involving chopping her body up and putting her in a manure pit and then reburying her somewhere else). This sounds like small town politics at its worst. The most surprising thing is how rampant and accepted drugs seem to be in this part of Vermont. If the affidavit is true (doubtful), this was about much more than a drug debt, if drugs even have anything to do with it.
