Brewton Police ask for public’s help in finding missing teen.

http://www.fox10tv.com/story/31199108/brewton-police-ask-for-publics-help-in-finding-missing-teen#ixzz4042BdvMG

A 16 year-old Brewton girl has been missing for four days and law enforcement said they’re no closer to finding her than when she went missing.  She disappeared from her home in the Alco community late Sunday night, February 7 or early Monday morning, February 8, 2016.

Four days in, searchers continued to scour the neighborhood and woods around 16 year-old Brooke Lee Bridges’ home. Only a few blocks away at Jefferson Davis Community College, law enforcement coordinated search efforts.

“The investigation is moving forward, but we’re still at the brick wall we was at, at day one,” Brewton, AL Police Chief, Monte McGougin said Thursday morning.

In a morning press conference, McGougin asked for the public’s help locating Brooke Bridges.  Since her disappearance, he said hundreds of searchers have been canvasing the area.

“The family wakes up, 4:30 in the morning for the father to go to work, front door is open.  Of course, him and the mother start looking for the child,” McGougin explained.

Police said they’re not ruling out the possibility that Bridges ran away from home, but are treating it as a possible abduction.  Klaas Kids Foundation has been helping with the search along with numerous volunteer groups.  Searchers were focusing their efforts within just a mile or so of the family’s home, including a park right across the street and a nearby spillway.  Police have also asked the family not to make any comments about it and not to be involved in the search themselves.

A canine unit from the Florida Department of Corrections was called in and searched the nearby park.  They then moved down the road to a drainage ditch.  Volunteers from Escambia County Search and Rescue focused their efforts on a stretch of woods just a few blocks away.  Meanwhile Sheriff’s deputies canvased the neighborhood, knocking on doors and gathering as much information as they could.

What happened to Brooke Bridges?

What happened to Brooke Bridges? Authroties in Brewton, Alabama, are looking for the 16-year-old girl, who reportedly vanished over five days ago. WKRG News reports that the FBI has now joined the search for the missing teen, indicating that her disappearance has possibly piqued suspicion.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children shares the missing 16-year-old Alabama girl may be in need of medical attention. However, no news reports have clarified what kind of medical condition may be suffered by the girl. What is known about her disappearance is that she was last seen at around 11 p.m. on Sunday night.

WBRC News reports that the search for Brooke Bridges has expanded beyond Alabama state boarders. Multiple agencies are also involved, included the Florida Department of Corrections. What’s most curious about the agencies involved is the fact that the FBI’s Child Abduction Response Deployment Team has joined the search. The Quantico-based special unit is often dedicated to the search for abducted/kidnapped persons. Does this mean that Brooke Bridges has been kidnapped?

Lisa Bridges, the missing teen’s mom, has revealed that she believes her daughter was kidnapped. The Huffington Post reported on Friday that she believes 16-year-old Brooke answered the door to the wrong person at the wrong time after she was last seen in their Alabama home.

“I think she must have opened the door to someone and they snatched her.”

Authorities in Alabama at first believed that Brooke Bridges may have been a runaway teen. However, they are realizing that there are elements to this case which are leading them to believe otherwise. At this point, they simply do not know what happened to the 16-year-old missing teen. Her mother does not believe that she would have voluntarily left in this manner.

    “Would Brooke have run away? Absolutely not. That would be absurd. Any behavior like this is so out of character for her.”

BPD: ‘We’re still looking’
February 24, 2016

As the disappearance case of Brewton teen Brooke Lee Bridges enters its second week, locals will soon again see search crews in the area, Brewton Chief Monte McGougin said Tuesday.

Bridges, 16, was last seen at approximately 11 p.m. on Sun., Feb. 7, at the family’s home on Cottage Hill Drive. Parents Jimmy and Lisa Bridges reportedly awoke the following morning to a wide-open front door and their daughter missing.

Mrs. Bridges said Brooke left without shoes and jacket, wearing pajamas and her glasses and carrying her cell phone.

In the days following, a massive land and water search was conducted around the Alco Lake area by scores of volunteers from the Klaas Kids Foundation and other law enforcement agencies, including the state and federal bureaus of investigation.

A week following the girl’s disappearance, law enforcement launched regional missing billboards and began using an FBI profiling and analyst team and began forensic investigations into her social media activity.

“Right now, I have four investigators who are working nothing but this case,” McGougin said. “They are working leads on a daily basis, and we ask that locals continue to keep calling with those leads.
