I just recently watched the Disappeared show also. It took me a while to get used to Lt. Kenda, and once I did, I'm disappointed there are no more new shows. I would like to see him get involved in this case. To me, it was eerie that her car was seen with the lights on, then just a blinker on, like somebody WANTED the car to be seen that way, or they were in a real hurry to get her out of it.Saw the ID Disappeared show about Brianna last night.
Based on the little I knew of Bris case while I followed Maura Murray's case, I thought Bris was simply the victim of drug related foul play.
After seeing the Disappeared, I have a different take
In the show Bri's mom said two things that stuck in my noggin - (Im paraphrasing everything) One was that her daughter had martial arts training, the other was that she is very trusting of people..
When Bri was sucker punched really hard in the face, her mothers words about being too trusting came to mind.
Seeing where Bris car was and that she went there directly after work, I think she was setup, and sucker punched again.
After seeing so many of these shows, how often do we see that as a case goes cold there is mention of human trafficking, there are sightings of the missing person in distant places, and perhaps the victim owed drug dealers money.
Thinking like a Lt. Kenda of Homicide Hunter
Human trafficking, and bad drug deal dont see it here. There was her un-cashed check was on the car seat.
Despite martial arts training, it's like she got sucker punched again.
Lets ask the question - Is there anyone who would benefit by her not being around?
Lets look at where and car was found, and when she parked it there what does it tell us?
Where it was found is out of the way, a place where someone who wants to harm her would want to lure her to. Who could that person be, and was she too trusting of someone she should not have?
Of all the people mentioned on the show, only one had shown real violence toward her.
Let look at time she when where her car was found. Appears it was for a quick meeting, perhaps to work things out with someone - tricked into thinking a past discretion could be worked out?
After working one job, would she be looking to party knowing she had her next job in the morning dont think so.
I see the proverbial elephant in the room in terms of motive, violence toward her, benefit if she wasnt around, and Bri being too trusting.

MONTGOMERY, Vt. -
It was eight years ago Monday that a Vermont teenager disappeared without a trace and the case continues to baffle police.
Seventeen year-old Brianna Maitland was last seen leaving the Montgomery restaurant where she worked. Her car was found abandoned behind a barn the next day. Police at first considered the possibility that Maitland ran away, but later concluded that she was a victim of foul play. Eight years later, investigators say they continue to investigate leads and remain optimistic someone will come forward with new information.
Does anyone know if all of Brianna's coworkers at the restaurant were checked out? Did any of them leave to go home instead of hanging around to party after the restaurant closed?
