And investigators think her disappearance might be linked to a growing problem here in East Texas, sex trafficking. We’ve suffered long enough and so as she,” said Wells’ Godmother Michelle Cole. Family members of Wells describe her as a caring, and trusting young woman.

On August 3rd 2006, her family tells KETK Wells went to a club in Longview alone. Shortly after midnight, Wells went missing. Police found her car on Interstate 20, a couple miles down from the club, with an empty gas tank, her ex-boyfriend’s cell phone and her purse.

The FBI and Longview police eventually closed the case.

But Cole, from the beginning, had a strong feeling Wells became a victim of human trafficking. Cole said an agent from the Department of Homeland Security is now re-opening Wells’ case. If you have information on Brandi Wells please call Longview Police at 903-237-1110, Crime Stoppers at 903-236-stop or call the Laura Recovery Center at 281-482-lrcf(5723) or 866-898-5723.
