MONTGOMERY, Vt. - Tuesday, March 19 marks the ninth anniversary of the disappearance of Brianna Maitland.
Brianna Maitland, then 17-years-old, was last seen at her place of employment,
the Black Lantern Inn, located in Montgomery, Vermont. Brianna reportedly left work
on March 19, 2004 at approximately 11:20 pm. Brianna's car was discovered the
next day adjacent to an abandoned farmhouse, located on Vt. Route 118 in the
town of Montgomery, a short distance from work.
The Vermont State Police continue to investigate the disappearance of Brianna
Maitland and to date continues to investigate active leads.
As a result of the investigation thus far, investigators
believe there is a strong indication that Brianna is in fact a victim of foul
play. There is no evidence at this time to indicate that Brianna willingly left
the area, police say. Despite reports early on in this investigation that Brianna's
disappearance may have been linked to "illegal drug activity", investigators are
unable to substantiate this connection.
The State Police, along with the Maitland family, cannot
overemphasize the importance of anyone coming forward with information. The
Maitland family continues to offer a $20,000 reward for information. This
reward includes $10,000 for anyone who can identify the exact location of
Brianna and $10,000 for anyone with information leading to the arrest of the
person(s) responsible for her disappearance.
The Vermont State Police is offering a reward of up to
$5,000 for information leading to the resolution of this case and/or
information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible
