Marsha Ellen Brantley, 50, disappeared from her Cleveland, Tennessee, home in late spring 2009. A former Lee University housing director, Chattanooga Writer’s Guild member and animal rescue advocate, she lived with her husband of nine years, Donnie Brantley, and their dogs. No one reported her missing for months; concern was finally raised by her hairdresser, Kelly DeLude, in November 2009 after a missed appointment and failed attempts to contact Marsha.

Marsha’s personal effects — her car, cell phone, clothing and other belongings — were left at the house. Cell phone records suggest she likely vanished around June 2, 2009, and indicate the phone stayed in the Cleveland area; investigators say there is evidence the phone was used after she was last seen, possibly by Donnie. Searches of the home, including use of cadaver dogs, turned up no crime scene or body.

Authorities have charged Donnie Brantley with murder twice, first arrested in August 2013 with charges dropped in 2014, then charged again in December 2016 with charges dismissed before a 2018 trial; dismissals were without prejudice. No body or direct evidence has been found, and the disappearance remains unresolved.

If anyone knew Marsha, her routines or movements in 2009, can you share information that might help explain what happened?
