Brittany Helen Palmer – The Charley Project

palmer_brittany7.jpg


Palmer was last seen at a friend's home in the vicinity of Baldwin Street and Barber Street in the New Town neighborhood in Jacksonville, Florida on August 22, 2020. She has never been heard from again. Two days after she was last seen, her mother got a strange call from Palmer's cellular phone number. She called back, and an unidentified woman answered and said she'd recently purchased the phone from someone.

According to her family, Palmer is very trusting, and they think she may have been taken advantage of by people she trusted. Shortly before her disappearance, someone stole money from her, but it's unclear whether this had anything to do with her going missing. Her case remains unsolved.

Palmer previously sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a car accident five years prior to her disappearance, and as a result she uses a cane or walker to assist with her mobility.

“When I spoke with her that day, I already knew what was wrong with her. It was about an incident about money that she received and someone took it. I told her to call me back and momma will resolve it, just call me back," [her mother] Vontria Mobley said. Her daughter never called back.

Palmer was last at her friend’s mother’s home in the New Town neighborhood at the corner of Baldwin and Barber streets. Mobley suspects her daughter got mixed in with the wrong crowd who may have been after her money.

Palmer also has a twin sister, Brianna. “She was always the type to give people the benefit of the doubt, and I know she was still angry about her money,” Brianna said. Action News Jax’s Robert Grant asked Brianna if she thought her sister was too trusting. Brianna said, “Yes. I think she was too trusting.”

Found deceased.

Mobley says the sheriff's office hasn't told her much, but the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System says a woman's body was found in a clandestine grave at Sunset Memorial Cemetery of Edgewood Avenue, during restoration work about two months after Palmer's disappearance.

Mobley says detectives recently confirmed the body to be her daughter's. She wants to know why it took more than a year for her to get that notification.

Just to make sure I'm understanding this, about two months after Brittany disappeared a 'clandestine grave' was found in the cemetery? Does that mean someone basically dug a grave and buried her there? That is very strange...

Rest in peace, Brittany. :(

Well.... she didn't bury herself.... so how could it NOT be foul play?

This case seems pretty easy to solve if any effort at all was put into it.

Two months after she disappeared in Aug? How long was that area of the cemetery without inspection or mowed? It took time to dig a grave, bury a body, cover it up. Is there a cemetery worker involved? Grass gets mowed frequently in the late summer especially during the rainy season (June-Sept) and this grave wasn't noticed? This is very odd.

It used to be a pretty common mob technique to bury bodies on top of fresh legitimate graves. The dirt is loose and easy to dig and people don't usually disturb them. I don't know if that's the case here though as there would be no reason for a fresh grave to undergo "restoration". Perhaps the perpetrator saw an area with loose soil as part of this restoration work and assumed it was finished but then more work was done later.

Agreed, I wondered the same thing. How could anyone dig a new grave, bury someone, and yet no one working at the cemetery noticed or reported a new grave site? Even if this new grave was dug directly on top of someone's existing grave it seems unlikely that no one would have noticed. Very strange situation...
