The Disappearance of Brandi Wells
Brandi Wells, 23, was last seen at the Graham Central Station nightclub in Longview, Texas on August 3, 2006. She entered the club at 10:30 p.m. and left alone at 12:30 a.m., according to surveillance video. She didn’t appear to be drunk when she left.
Brandi’s home was 45 minutes away, and she was unfamiliar with the area. She didn’t return home that night, and she hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
Investigation of Case
Brandi went missing and was reported missing to local police, who filed a report in Longview the following Sunday.
Law enforcement officers discovered Brandi’s car, a black four-door Pontiac Grand Prix with Texas license plate number J50ZTD and damage above the front wheel, five days after she was last seen leaving the club.
The car was discovered with an empty gas tank a few miles away from the club, just outside Longview. The car was parked near mile marker 591 on westbound I-20, about 300 yards west of FM Road 2087.
Her purse and wallet were inside the vehicle. There were no signs of a struggle, but the driver’s seat was pushed far back, indicating that someone taller than Brandi was driving. Her family believes a plastic gas can found in the trunk of her car did not belong to her.
Brandi had a cell phone, and when she went missing, Longview police detained three men who claimed to have found her phone. They were all asked to take a polygraph test. One of the men failed the polygraph, but he has been ruled out as a possible suspect in her disappearance after multiple interviews.
Brandi’s mother received a phone call three and a half years after her disappearance from a man named “Tim,” who claimed Brandi was alive and well in Kansas City, Missouri. The phone call was cut off before she could get any further information.
Authorities suspect foul play may be involved in Brandi’s case, and that she may have been taken against her will. Her case remains unsolved.
