In this gripping second installment of Dark Dialogue: Vermont’s Vanished, we return to March 20, 2004—the day Brianna Maitland’s abandoned green Oldsmobile was found backed into the side of the crumbling Old Dutchburn Barn. Inside the car? Two paychecks, her contact lenses, migraine meds, and the haunting sense that she meant to come back. Outside? A broken necklace. A wrecked investigation.
The scene looked staged. The FBI said as much. But Vermont State Police failed to treat it as a crime scene. No tape. No photographs. No urgency. Just a shrug—and a tow truck.
Join John and Angela as they dissect the bizarre positioning of Brianna’s car, the items left behind, and the avalanche of mistakes that followed. From missed evidence and delayed action to new details uncovered by private investigators and podcasts alike, this episode reveals how the first 48 hours didn’t just slip away—they were destroyed.
This is Episode 2: The House That Watched Her Disappear, a brutal look at what happens when the people tasked with solving a crime... might be the ones who let it vanish.
