HENRY COUNTY – Investigators are still piecing information together as they search for a 25-year-old woman missing since for the last two months.
Brianna DiBattiste was last seen on June 16 and the extensive search has been labeled as a “goose chase” by authorities. They have searched multiple locations in Henry and Grant counties and as far away as Dayton, Ohio.
This past weekend investigators searched a property near Hagerstown, however nothing was found, according to Richmond’s Kicks96.
Earlier this month police arrested Curtis Ray Neal, 33, an ex-convict, who has allegedly provided false information of the missing woman’s whereabouts. The failed searches have cost upwards of $100,000.
Family and friends describe DiBattiste as 5’4”, 110 lbs, with brown hair and hazel eyes. She has several tattoos including, “Torn” on upper right arm, “What goes around comes around” on upper left arm, “Love” on lower left arm, “DiBattiste” on her back below her neckline, and a tribal tattoo on her lower back.
Anyone with information is urged to contact investigators at (765) 789-6151. An online donation page has been set up to aid search efforts.
