Ciera Breland, a 31-year-old lawyer and new mother, was last seen on the evening of February 24, 2022, outside her mother-in-law’s home in Johns Creek, Georgia, on surveillance footage. She had been on a multi-stop family visit that began the previous weekend in Cleveland, Georgia, with her own parents. Concern grew when Ciera missed her usual daily contact with family and did not have her phone, identification, credit cards, or her five-month-old son.
Her husband, Xavier Breland, reported her missing on February 26 from their Carmel, Indiana, home. Investigators later found no evidence Ciera ever returned to Indiana; surveillance from the drive back shows only Xavier. Authorities named Xavier a person of interest after learning Ciera had been unhappy in the marriage, had been planning to leave, and had told a cousin to suspect Xavier if anything happened to her. Xavier has not been charged in this case.
Searches have been carried out, flyers and electronic signs deployed, and the FBI is offering up to a $10,000 reward for information. Investigators are seeking anyone who saw the couple’s white 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan around the time of her disappearance. If anyone has information about Ciera, her movements in Georgia in late February 2022, or the Tiguan, please come forward.
