LONGVIEW, Texas (Crime Library) — For the past six months, the friends and family of Brandi Ellen Wells have scoured the streets and wooded areas of Gregg County in hopes of finding a clue to their loved one's mysterious disappearance. It has been a long and exhausting search, but they refuse to give up.

Yesterday, Brandi's mother, Ellen Tant, and her godmother, Michelle Cole, both spoke with Crime Library about Brandi's last known activities on August 2, 2006, when the 23-year-old vanished without a trace.
"Brandi left her mother's house that night and told her she was going to a nightclub," Michelle said. "Her mother thought she meant the nightclub just around the corner here in Tyler, but as it turns out, she went to Graham Central Station, a nightclub in Longview. She didn't have any money on her. She went over there for a ladies night. As far as we know, she did not know anyone there."

According to employees of the nightclub, Brandi had to call for directions several times on her way there. By the time she finally arrived, her car was running on empty, so she asked some of the patrons for help. Whether or not any one obliged is unknown. Surveillance footage from the establishment shows Brandi leaving shortly after midnight.
"I think maybe someone may have taken advantage of that situation. The video shows her leave and she left. She hasn't been seen since."
