Disappearance of Brandi Wells

Brandi Ellen Wells (born November 28, 1982) is a woman from Longview, Texas who disappeared in the early morning hours of August 3, 2006.

Disappearance

Wells was last seen by her mother on the night of August 2, 2006, as she was planning to go to a club. According to employees of the nightclub, Brandi had called to ask for directions several times on her way there. When she eventually did arrive, her car was apparently out of gas, so she began to ask people there if they could assist her, although it is unknown whether or not she received any help. Surveillance footage shows Brandi exiting the nightclub shortly after midnight and she was later observed leaving the club's premises alone at around 12:30 am. The next day the Longview Police Department received a call AbOUT Brandi's car being found vacant on the westbound side of I-20 near Farm-to-Market 2087. When the vehicle was located the gas tank was empty and inside were her ex-boyfriend's cell phone and her purse. Investigators later traced a phone call back to a person who had lived in a neighborhood between Graham Central Station and the spot where Brandi's car was found. Wells was last seen wearing black high heeled sandals with floral applique, rust-colored gaucho pants, and a dark floral-print tube top with a "v" cut over the hip or a floral print cream colored V-neck halter top.
