In the winter of 2001, 38-year-old Rosetta Brayboy, who also went by the names Rosella or Rose Zella, vanished from her home in Buford, Georgia. The last time anyone is known to have had contact with her was on December 19, 2001, when she made a phone call. After that, an unsettling silence fell. It wasn't until nearly three weeks later, on January 8, 2002, that she was officially reported as a missing person. At the time of her disappearance, Rosetta was described as a Black female with black hair and brown eyes, standing at 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighing around 113 pounds. It is also known that her ears were pierced.

The circumstances surrounding Rosetta's disappearance have remained shrouded in mystery for years, with very few details being made public. At the time she went missing, she was living with her boyfriend. It was later revealed that her live-in boyfriend had a prior conviction for murder. Authorities with the Gwinnett County Police Department did question him in connection with her case, but he was never officially named as a suspect in her disappearance. This detail has left a lingering question in the minds of those who knew Rosetta and have followed her case.

Despite the passage of time, the investigation into what happened to Rosetta Brayboy has yielded very few answers, and her case remains unsolved. The lack of significant leads has made it difficult for investigators to piece together the events leading up to her disappearance and to determine her whereabouts. The Gwinnett County Police Department continues to hold the case file, but without new information, the trail has grown cold. The overview of the case remains one of a woman who disappeared under concerning circumstances, leaving behind a life and a community searching for answers that have yet to come.
