Brandy Nicole Osborne, 37, disappeared on February 14, 2020, in Calvert City, Kentucky. Authorities were told she was swept away by the Tennessee River after she was last seen near the water, but family members dispute that account and say she had a profound fear of water and would not have approached the flooded river. Brandy reportedly planned to meet her ex‑boyfriend for dinner that evening; he was the last known person to see her and family describe their relationship as tumultuous and abusive.

Searches by the Marshall County Rescue Squad and other agencies turned up no signs of Brandy. Months later two trash bags containing her clothes, identification, and Social Security cards were recovered about 50 miles downriver, a detail the family says is inconsistent with the accidental drowning narrative. There was also a several‑hour delay between when she was said to have been last seen and when police were notified. No resolution has been reached and her family continues to press for answers. Anyone with information about Brandy or that night is asked to come forward.
