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

[Seattle1]

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

Mercy-- I was just reminded BT vanished in Jan 2023 so make that 17 months!

 

[helenjean24]

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 I’m pretty sure the boyfriend who she was living with is the same as the one whose family owns this large home/land. This would also explain the brother living there as well. It was a large, family property in what sounds like a small town.

Family turns to private investigators in search for Brittany Tee of Brookfield

[...]
BROOKFIELD ― A private investigative organization has taken on the case of Brittany Tee, the Brookfield woman who disappeared in January 2023. Louis M.

Hopefully Brittany's family will get some answers.

New to this case. Just read through the thread. Some questions and comments if anyone wants to engage.

Questions:
1) In the first 4 months comments seemed to point to the boyfriend or else suggest she'd be found soon. Two years later, what are the latest thoughts of this community?

2) Can anyone clarify why BT was reported at Lewis Field? Where did that info come from and what were the circumstances of her being sighted at that location? I must have missed it in the thread or the details were in a link I didn't follow.


Comments:
1) 35 y/o with a broken down car and broken phone or no phone service. Not sure what to make of this.

2) The fact that she was carrying her phone seems to indicate it was operable in some capacity, so more likely didn't have service than was straight up broken.

3) The purse in the Jeep seems to indicate she thought it may be operational. However, when it was discovered not to be, why leave the keys? (Actually, the keys inside sort of makes me think it had been towed to its location at that house, but that's just an unsubstantiated idea.) If it were true that BT left the house intending to drive, why wouldn't the Jeep remaining in the driveway after BT herself was gone trigger the boyfriend to question why? Most likely just because it has been intermittently inoperable for a longer period of time?

4) There seems to have been an extensive search, but we've seen many targeted, professional, extensive searches fail. Doesn't mean anything to me. Keep searching the immediate area over and over again would be my advice.

5) I note the presence of the Willow Brook and Quaboag River nearby.


Theories:
1) After such a period of time, I rule out the hit-and-run laying by the side of the road theory.

2) There are lots of maybes and innuendo about the boyfriend. There is no evidence that is publicly available. Sure, much could be true when we have so little, but I'm going to rule out aliens and the boyfriend pending any actual information pointing to such.

3) Kidnapping - no evidence; wouldn't be the most likely victim; also wouldn't be the craziest idea along the lines of small town, someone who knows her drives by and picks her up. Seems unlikely but not crazy.

4) There's an underlying whiff of a disagreement between BT and the boyfriend. Maybe she was headed to her mom's, boyfriend maybe thought she had called the mom for a ride, boyfriend didn't seem to expect to hear from her (or didn't miss hearing from her) for a few days.... Its not clear but its there under the surface. Wouldn't rule out misadventure after BT walked off following some sort of fight or disagreement or spat between the couple (not implying physical violence or wrongdoing).

5) Succumbed to the elements, perhaps related to theory #4 - makes sense.

Many articles reference the residence she left being on Main Street, near Lewis Field.

This one indicates scent tracked to playground there.

Police ask public for help finding missing 35-year-old woman Brittany Tee

The 35-year-old disappeared shortly after leaving her boyfriend’s house but it was three days before the case was reported to Massachusetts police.

nypost.com

“Authorities scoured Brookfield near the boyfriend’s home for clues over the weekend, and police dogs eventually were able to pick up Tee’s scent in the woods near Lewis Field, a playground.”


“Brittany Tee was last seen on January 10, 2023, at around 8:30 p.m. in Brookfield, Massachusetts. The 35-year-old was walking away from the home on Main Street where she was staying and headed towards Lewis Field”

All the bad that happened to her happened right there, I would really of loved it if the boyfriend's scent was also tracked to that playground area, if they thought of that. Yes, it could all be inconclusive, due to the close proximity of the park/playground to the house where she was living with the bf (do not know for how long), I would say they walked there and hung out a number of times. She grew up very close by it sounds, if her mother is in the original family home, six miles away. Who else knew she was leaving that house at that time and why.

 

[fairlightcmi85]

Hi there, I am also new to having an account here but have been watching up on thread for the past year or so.. I am from the same town as Brittany, and have many close friends and affiliations that she had in the area even though we were never very close. <modsnip - referenced post removed for no links to source>

 

[babyblujems]

I know the boyfriends brother, up until a couple months before her disappearance my friend was engaged to him. I also graduated from Prouty with Brittney though was not close to her, so I wonder if we may know each other.
<modsnip>

I hope one day she is found, everytime I drive down 9 or 148 or by Lewis Field, I look out the window hoping that maybe just maybe something can be seen or has changed. It took a long time to find Molly Bush's body and it wasn't that far from where she disappeared. There's a lot of wooded land in the area complete with sheds or hunters cabins (I once hid in the one in the woods by my mom's for 7 hours - my parents were so mad) so even the extensive searches could have missed her easily.

I can't believe it's been 2 years, I can't imagine her family's pain and suffering over that time. I hope the vigil brings someone forward with information or a new lead somehow!

Brittany Tee’s family last saw her on Monday, January 9, 2023, when she visited her mother, Susan’s house.

“I spoke with her 8 o’clock on Tuesday night, and she seemed upset, something was bothering her. But she didn’t want to talk about it,” Susan Tee said.

At the time, Brittany was staying at a house near Lewis Field on Main Street in Brookfield.

The next day, Wednesday, Susan drove by the house and saw Brittany’s car, but Brittany didn’t respond to calls or texts.

"They say time heals all wounds, but I disagree, not when your family member disappears out of nowhere without a trace," said Brittany's sister Bethany Tee. "Time is making that wound bigger. There is no healing, no closure, just daily heaviness in your heart and constant thoughts of worry. Where is she? What happened to her? Is she safe? Are we doing enough?"

"We continue to get tips on a regular basis,” Early said. “In some ways, in missing people’s cases, time is our enemy on the front end of the investigation, but it becomes our friend after a while.

“Oftentimes, people who might not want to talk at the beginning of the case end up talking at some point during the case.”
