Brandi Wells, age 23, was last seen on August 3, 2006, after leaving the Graham Central Station nightclub in Longview, Texas. Earlier that evening, she had visited her mother in Tyler, Texas, before heading to the club. Brandi, unfamiliar with the area, had to call the club multiple times for directions. She arrived around 10:30 p.m. and was last seen leaving alone shortly after midnight. She did not appear intoxicated at the time.
Five days after her disappearance, Brandi's black Pontiac Grand Prix was found abandoned on Interstate 20, west of Longview. Inside her car were personal belongings such as her purse, wallet, and a nonfunctional cell phone belonging to her ex-boyfriend. The driver's seat was reportedly pushed back, indicating that someone taller than Brandi may have driven the car. A gas can, which her family did not recognize as hers, was also found in the trunk.
Despite some activity on her missing cell phone by individuals who later took polygraph tests, no solid leads have emerged. Investigators suspect foul play, but the exact circumstances of Brandi’s disappearance remain a mystery. Brandi was a vibrant young woman preparing to start college and pursue a career in teaching, making her sudden disappearance all the more perplexing and tragic.Last Seen: Aug 3, 2006
