Brittany's dad Greg Wallace didn't report her missing to the St. Joseph County Sheriff's Office until 8 days after she vanished, partly because people assumed she was laying low due to an outstanding warrant.

Before diving into the investigation, Ashley Flowers gives listeners the human context for why Brittany's disappearance wasn't immediately treated as alarming. Brittany was 23, a mother of four who had recently surrendered custody of her children while trying to rebuild her life — hoping to start a new job and maybe enroll in school. She was struggling with substance use, and she had an outstanding warrant out for larceny. So when she went dark, the initial assumption from friends, family, and law enforcement alike was that she was laying low. The real turning point comes when her grandmother Vicky, the person Brittany spoke to most frequently, reports that Brittany has been completely silent since the night of the incident. That silence — combined with her sudden absence from Facebook, where she was an avid presence — finally sets off enough alarm bells for her dad Greg Wallace to file a missing persons report eight days after the night she vanished.
