Brandi Jo Malonson was 23 when she was last seen by her family in December 2006 at their home in south Jefferson County, Colorado. A Columbine High School graduate and former student-athlete, Brandi trained as a certified nursing assistant and worked caring for elderly patients. She survived the 1999 school shooting and later experienced the unsolved murders of two friends and another friend’s suicide, events said to have caused significant trauma.

By 2005–2006 Brandi struggled with methamphetamine use, sought treatment, relapsed, declared bankruptcy in 2005, and in 2006 was convicted of drug possession and identity theft. Four days after being sentenced to probation she disappeared. After her disappearance, the family received conflicting unverified tips — claims she died of an overdose or was murdered and disposed of in the Platte River, a lake, or in the mountains. She had several distinctive tattoos: a butterfly on her back, a cross on her left calf, and Chinese characters on her left ankle, left breast, and hip.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is handling the active investigation and has asked about a woman named Lisa Gibson, who reportedly frequented bars on South Broadway and may have information. Does anyone have verified information about Brandi’s last movements or about Lisa Gibson’s whereabouts in December 2006?
