Brianna Jade Hughes, 32, vanished from Upper Burrell Township, Pennsylvania, in the winter of 2016 after visiting her mother on December 15. Two weeks earlier she had been released from the Allegheny County Jail and told her mother she intended to return to rehab. As she left her mother’s home she noticed an older red car, possibly a Chevrolet Cavalier, with an unfamiliar heavy-set white woman with curly blonde hair inside; Brianna got into that car and has not been seen since.

Her family says Brianna, sometimes called Winter, struggled with addiction that began in her teens after a gymnastics injury and subsequent painkiller prescription. They maintain she was a devoted mother of three who would not have willingly severed contact; her mother reported her missing after Brianna failed to call one daughter on her birthday in March 2017. Investigators have said they suspect foul play.

There were a few unconfirmed sightings in Pittsburgh neighborhoods after her disappearance, including on Frankstown Road in Homewood and a possible sighting in East Liberty in February 2017. Brianna is described as Caucasian, 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 3 inches, about 100 to 110 pounds, with brown hair, hazel eyes and a Breathe tattoo on the center of her upper chest.

Does anyone have information on the older red car or the woman seen with Brianna on December 15, 2016?
