1 min read

MONTGOMERY — Ten years ago today, Brianna Maitland was just 17 years old when she disappeared. She was last seen at her place of employment at the Black Lantern Inn, located in Montgomery.

Investigators continue to receive and investigate active leads in the case. They believe there is a strong indication that Brianna was, in fact, a victim of foul play.

Brianna reportedly left work on March 19, 2004, at approximately 11:20 p.m. Brianna’s car was discovered the next day adjacent to an abandoned farmhouse, located on VT Route 118 in the town of Montgomery, just a short distance from work. There is no evidence at this time to indicate that Brianna willingly left the area.

Vermont State Police detectives continue to explorer any and all investigative strategies in an attempt to uncover information about Briana’s disappearance. The Vermont 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 those responsible for her disappearance. The State Police remain optimistic that new information will lead to a resolution in this case.

Recently the Vermont Intelligence Center launched a Vermont Missing Persons page on Facebook..

The intent of the page is to highlight current missing persons in Vermont, regardless of law enforcement jurisdiction, in the hopes of bringing these individuals home to their families. At any given time, there are approximately eight active missing person cases in Vermont, less than a year old.

The new Facebook page will also highlight the anniversary of unresolved missing person cases in the hopes of soliciting new tips in these investigations. Currently there are 32 missing person cases over a year old that remain unresolved. Any anonymous tip that comes in for a missing person case will be forward by the Vermont Intelligence Center to the investigating law enforcement agency.

The Vermont State Police is also offering a reward of up to $5,000.00 for information leading to the resolution of the Maitland case or information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible.

The Vermont State Police offers rewards on specific major cases with an emphasis on unsolved homicides and missing persons where foul play is suspected.
