In the winter of 2020, a feeling of concern spread through a community in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when 12-year-old Braelynn Ellis was reported missing. She was last seen on February 14, 2020. At the time of her disappearance, Braelynn was described as a Caucasian female with brown hair and brown eyes, standing five feet tall and weighing around 85 pounds. Her disappearance prompted an immediate response from the Tulsa Police Department, who took charge of the investigation and sought help from the public for any information regarding her whereabouts.

The circumstances surrounding Braelynn's disappearance were not widely publicized, which is common in cases involving a minor. Information released at the time noted that a black 2011 Mazda Tribute with an Oklahoma license plate was associated with the case. This detail, while specific, was one of the few pieces of information made available as law enforcement and her family anxiously awaited any news. The lack of specific details about where she was last seen or what she was wearing created a challenging situation for those trying to help locate her.

Thankfully, this distressing case concluded with the positive news that Braelynn was found alive. Following her recovery, her case status was officially updated, bringing immense relief to her family, friends, and the wider community who had hoped for her safe return. In the interest of privacy, specific details about the date, location, and circumstances of her recovery have not been made public. The overview of this case is that a young girl disappeared from her home in Tulsa, prompting an investigation that thankfully ended with her being located safely. The resolution of her case means she is no longer considered a missing person.
