Breanna Laura Labat, a 32-year-old mother of two and a FedEx driver, was last seen in East Palo Alto on November 24, 2022 and was reported missing on December 6, 2022. She rented a room on Daphne Way. Labat is described as a Black female, 5 feet 7 inches tall, 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes; she has a scar on her head and a scar on the back of one shoulder, plus a tattoo of the name Najae.

Investigators quickly treated the disappearance as a homicide. On December 28, 2022 authorities arrested 44-year-old John Caisiano Thompson, the man from whom Labat rented a room, on suspicion of her murder. Investigators allege Thompson shot and killed Labat during an argument, that a stray bullet injured another person inside the home, and that Thompson disposed of Labat’s body; her remains have not been located and the case is being treated as her presumed death.

The East Palo Alto Police Department and the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office are continuing the investigation and seeking information that could lead to her remains. If anyone knew Breanna, her movements that day, or has information about Daphne Way in late November 2022, please share what you know with investigators.
