VT VT - Brianna Maitland, 17, Montgomery, 19 March 2004

[takeitfromme412]

There are several cases in New England that I follow and Bri's is one of them.... she deserves justice and deserves to be found..... she reminds me SO MUCH of myself and that is one scary thing.....
Her family and friends need answers... someone knows something.... and it's cowardly of them to keep it a secret.....

Bumping for Brianna.

I have watched the episode of Disappeared and I really believe who she met at the shopping centre away from her mother is the key. Have they ever found out who that was? This girl obviously had secrets (doesn't mean they're anything sinister and I don't think they are - she most probably just didn't want to make her parents worry) as she didn't talk to her mother about what she did at the shops, and I wonder if investigating some of these secrets would lead to the reason why she disappeared. I also believe she went to meet someone after her shift finished, which she was keeping a secret. Hopefully her phone records showed something.

The way her car was found has always been on my mind and it's haunted me. It's such a large amount of space for someone to get lost in.

I SO wish the trooper who found her car called in that he found a car and there are checks made out to a Brianna Maitland. It may not have helped find her, but it might have made things go much quicker.

I think one of two things happened:

She met someone there and things didn't go as planned and she tried to get away and backed her car into the barn and was kidnapped.

or like another poster said, she pulled over for whatever reason and somebody saw her and decided to take his/her chance and she backed into the barn trying to get away.

JMO

I just can't see her backing up into a barn on purpose unless she was trying to get away from someone.

iluvmua,
Those are great points. That's the only thing that makes sense. Unless the person(s) who took her backed the car up in the barn to make it look like an accident. But I suppose they could have done other things too. I'm curious if she backed the car up trying to get away from someone, was there anything at the scene of her car that suggests a struggle within the driver's seat or outside of the driver's door? Any scuff marks or signs of struggle in the dirt/grass by the car? I doubt she went willingly without a fight-unless there was more then one person who took her, I wonder if there were signs of struggle.

FBI: Keyes ruled out of Maitland disappearance

Serial killer Israel Keyes had no involvement in the 2004 disappearance of Vermont teenager Brianna Maitland, according to the FBI.

Keyes, 34, frequently traveled to the East Coast to visit family in Maine and property he owned in Constable, N.Y., but financial records prove he was elsewhere March 19, 2004, when the 17-year-old Maitland vanished after leaving work at a Franklin County restaurant, FBI Special Agent Jolene Goeden said.

So, Brianna disappeared approx 6 weeks after Maura Murray disappeared. IIRC, the episode about Brianna on "Disappeared" seemed to indicate her drug friends...

Yeah, that has always intrigued me. It could've been a coincidence but the similarities of their disappearances are definitely alarming. You know pretty girl, abandoned car ect, it makes you wonder if their was a serial killer in the area trying get girls into a car or something. But i feel like they probably aren't connected.

 

[iluvmua]

Does anybody know what the temperature was that day?

IIRC, There was snow on the ground?

 

[jkloc420]

I just read the Charlie project profile on this case. I am wondering if they did any forensics on the abandoned house where her car was found. My theory is she went there to fight someone. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't already planned out. Maybe the loser got mad and did something to her. There is also the possibility they were fighting in the field too and they moved the car for more room.

Something about her and her story struck a cord with me and will always be with me. I can't say that I know exactly what and why, and I know this post is one day late, but to Brianna, here's to you. You'll never be forgotten and will always be missed. God speed. -Carlos C. Weaver

The Maitland family, alongside the VSP, is encouraging anyone with information about the case to come forward. The family is offering a $20,000 reward. Half of that is for information leading to the exact location of Maitland and the other half is for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for her disappearance.

Can social media crack unsolved Vt. missing persons cases?

On average, eight people vanish from Vermont every year. And it's these unsolved cases that tend to keep police officers up at night.

"I haven't met a police officer in Vermont or around the country, for that matter, who doesn't take their case work seriously. We do do everything that we can to bring people home safely," Lt. Michael Macarilla said.
