Details of Disappearance
On May 20, Brandy – a waitress at Alex’s Restaurant on Dorchester Road – served a friend lunch. She was happy, excited to have the entire weekend off and before her. That afternoon, she caught a ride home with a customer and later talked to her mother by phone.
Sometime that night, she disappeared from her apartment, leaving behind all her belongings and her money.
According to the Post & Courier, “Everyone who knows Hanna says there is no chance she would just leave. She’s shy, has a tight circle of friends. She never missed work, where she has a great rapport with her customers. And silence is not her thing. Until she disappeared, she was on her phone constantly, chatting and text-messaging friends, and sometimes talking to her mother more than a half-dozen times a day”.
