KETK and the Longview News-Journal report that On August 3, 2006, recent Chapel Hill High School graduate Brandi Wells took a trip to a Longview nightclub and went missing shortly after midnight. Police found her car along Interstate 20, a few miles down from the club. The car had an empty gas tank, and police found Wells&#8217;s ex-boyfriends&#8217;s cell phone and her purse.  Wells did have a cell phone, and activity on the device would lead Longview police to briefly detain three men, one of whom failed a polygraph test that was given to each of them. Police released the men and have not named a suspect in Wells&#8217;s decade-old disappearance.  Due to time passing and a lack of evidence, the case went cold. However, investigators believe her disappearance may be linked to sex trafficking.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I put it in God&#8217;s hands now,&#8221; said Wells&#8217;s mother, Ellen Tant.&#8221;I&#8217;m just hoping that by this time, somebody has grown a conscience that knows what happened. Any kind of information that we can get is better than no information at all &#8211; that is the worst part. Is she gone? Is she here? Is she being held captive? The more years that go by, the less hope that you have.&#8221;  Wells&#8217;s family has set up a GoFundMe account at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/FindBrandi\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/FindBrandi<\/a> in hopes enough money can be raised to hire a private investigator to help with the case and bring Brandi home.
