24 Year Old Brittany Johnson Missing Since 5/9/15 in Albuquerque, NM (Update: Vehicle found Wednesday at Sandia Crest)(Update: Found Deceased)

24 year old Brittany Johnson has been missing since May 9, 2015 in  Albuquerque, New Mexico. Brittany Johnson was last seen in Albuquerque near Broadway and Mountain at a spa, The Bath House, around noon on Saturday, May 9. However, she didn’t show up to her grandparents for Mother’s Day, nor did she attend her friend’s graduation party over the weekend. Authorities believe she was driving a 2006 red Toyota Corolla with a co-exist sticker on the back window and New Mexico plates KMD-048. There has been no activity on her credit card, and her phone goes straight to voice mail.

Police say she has brown hair and blue eyes.

Officials say she may be at-risk based on other circumstances involved and her disappearance is very uncharacteristic of her. Her brother says, she didn’t attend events she planned on going to over the weekend and didn’t check in on mother’s day.

24-year-old Albuquerque woman vanishes without a trace.

Lt. Pete Golden with the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department said, “Her disappearance is highly unusual and is out of character for her normal pattern of behavior. Because it is so unusual and out of the norm is the reason we’re so concerned for her well being.”

The department issued an endangered missing person alert and described Johnson as “at-risk.”

“We don’t believe she is with anyone else who may be putting her at risk, but again, her behavior is out of the norm, and that is the reason for our concern,” he added.  “Because her pattern of behavior is so atypical from what her friends, her family and everyone else she interacts with have described, it is a reason we have such an elevated concern for her welfare,” he explained.

UPDATE I: Vehicle located, search continues for missing Brittany Johnson.

This does not sound good. As per KOAT-7, Carolyn Herrera, Johnson’s best friend said she has been dealing with a lot of personal problems lately and might have gone to the crest to clear her head. Herrera said the last time she heard from Johnson was through text messages on Saturday, just before she went missing. Herrera further went on to say, “She’s been kind of doing some soul-searching and kind of figuring out what she wants to do.” She hasn’t been talking to friends as much.”

Her car was found Wednesday at Sandia Crest.

Search and rescue teams have been searching that area ever since…but so far no sign of her.

Now deputies say they’ve learned a male hiker came into the gift shop at Sandia Crest after finding car keys on a nearby trail.

They discovered the keys belonged to Johnson’s vehicle, so they decided to leave them on top of the car for when she returned. She never did.

Deputies are focusing on the area south of the parking lot where the keys were found but that could change.

UPDATE II: The search for a missing woman near the Sandia Crest has turned up a different set of remains.

The search for a missing woman near the Sandia Crest has turned up a different set of remains. Deputies think they may belong to a woman who vanished last year.

While wrapping up their search for 24-year old Britney Johnson Thursday night the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office said a crew found a skeleton in an open area south of the crest parking lot.

BCSO spent Friday morning recovering the remains and looking for clues around the skeleton which they believe has been there for about a year. Deputies say the remains were not buried and had no clothes, wallet or anything else that would identify the person.

Deputies did say it’s possible that the remains belong to a woman who was reported missing about a year ago. They are treating it as a crime scene.

Deputies say the medical investigator will confirm the identity next but that could take up to a couple weeks

Anyone with information is urged to call the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department at 505-886-1065 or 505-798-7000.

UPDATE II: Brittany Johnson, missing for days, found deceased. 

According to the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department, Brittany Johnson who has been missing since Saturday May 9, 2015 was found deceased Friday at the base of a steep cliff in the Sandia Mountains at approximately 4:50 pm.

Rescue crews spotted her while scanning the western cliff face of the mountain just south of the Sandia Crest parking lot. Due to extreme weather conditions, her recovery took more than six hours.

The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department believes her death to be accidental.  The Office of the Medical Investigator has conducted an autopsy but their final report of findings will take some time to be completed.

Remains Found of 22 Year Old Chelsea Bruck Who Went Missing after Attending a Halloween Party on 10/26/14 in Newport, MI

The remains have been found of 22 year old Chelsea Bruck in Monroe County’s Ash Township, Michigan. Bruck’s skeletal remains were discovered Friday afternoon in dense woods near Interstate 275.  The Wayne County Medical Examiner positively identified the baked body found as Bruck on Saturday. Chelsea Bruck went missing on 10/26/14 after attending a Halloween party in Frenchtown Township, Michigan. Previously, Bruck’s handmade Poison Ivy Halloween costume had been found on April 5 at a vacant industrial site in Flat Rock.

Monroe County Sheriff Dale Malone stated at a news conference, “Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bruck family.” He also said, “evidence at the scene indicated it was a homicide. In all likelihood, the crime was committed at or near where the body was located.”

The missing persons case now becomes a homicide case. Sheriff Malone believes that the person who dumped her body at this location was familiar with the area and the railroad tracks.

A body discovered Friday afternoon in dense woods near Interstate 275 in Monroe County has been identified as Chelsea Bruck, who has been missing since October.

Wayne County Medical Examiner spokesman Ryan Bridges said the body was positively identified as Bruck, 22, on Saturday.

“It’s been ID’d through dental records,” said Bridges.

Monroe County Sheriff  Press Conference – Chelsea Bruck investigation

Bruck’s body was found at 2 p.m. in a wooded parcel by a railroad track near Carleton, said Heath Velliquette, chief deputy of the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office .

A property owner was using a bulldozer to clear heavy brush on his land when the machine malfunctioned, said Velliquette.

While waiting to resume work with the heavy machinery, the property owner stumbled upon the body, said the sheriff’s office.

The decomposed body appeared to be in the woods for “months,” said Velliquette.

He declined to say whether the body was buried in any way.

No weapon was discovered at the site, he said.

Because of the long period the body was in the woods, the sheriff’s office used an anthropologist to help determine the identity, he said.
