Shortly before 9:00 pm on November 30, 2018, Brittany is last seen in the 33000 block of Fawn River Road with an unidentified man.
According to reports, she is seen running her boyfriend's car off of the road due to a thick fog in the area. She is last seen walking from one house to another, confused and asking for help.
According to one of the owners of a home Brittany approached, she is bleeding on her arm and feet, has no shoes on, and no coat. The homeowner reportedly gave Brittany a army-green colored coat before both Brittany and the homeowner tried to call police.
When he returned from trying to find better cell reception in his home to successfully contact authorities, Brittany was gone.
