Brandi Nicole Dotson was reported missing from Kanawha County, West Virginia, after people close to her said her silence was out of character. A missing person report was filed with the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office on February 25, 2026.

Witness accounts published online place possible sightings in the last week of December 2025 in the Big Chimney area and on January 11, 2026, at the 7-Eleven on Roxalana Road in Dunbar; those scattered reports form the main public timeline investigators are trying to reconcile. Descriptions list her as about 5 feet 2 inches, hazel eyes, curly hair variously described as brown, auburn, or red, and having homemade tattoos on her legs. News and advocacy listings note she was unhoused, a factor mentioned in public materials as complicating efforts to trace routines or records. No reliable public report was found showing she has been located alive or deceased.

If anyone knew Brandi, saw her in late 2025 or early 2026, or has information about her movements around Dunbar or Big Chimney, please come forward.
