Brandee Jan Thomerson, 42, was last seen at home near the 460 block of Keen Road in Portland, Tennessee, on February 14, 2003. Married to William Thomerson, she co-owned The Iron Skillet Restaurant and was the mother of four. Her husband returned that Valentine’s Day evening to a dark, locked house; Brandee’s family did not report her missing until early March after days turned into weeks without contact.

Investigators learned from a friend that Brandee was seen leaving the restaurant that night and getting into a champagne-colored vehicle with tinted windows driven by an unidentified man. Authorities located the driver, who said he had dropped her off at a motel on Dickerson Road in Nashville, but searches of area motels produced no trace of her. The case was hampered by the delay in reporting and by limited confirmed sightings after the alleged drop-off.

The Sumner County Sheriff’s Office lists her as an endangered missing person and continues to seek information. If anyone knew Brandee’s movements on February 14, 2003, or saw the described vehicle that night, please come forward.
