A West Virginia works to make a new home for her children, after a suspicious fire burns the house she inherited from her father. Brittany Horn accepts an offer from her mom to live with her until new plans can be made. Brittany seems to be settling in well and on the afternoon of June 12th, tells her mother that she will be back after spending time with some friend. Brittany leaves the home on foot, wearing a pink shirt, jean shorts, and white Nike sneakers. Her hair is in a braid and she’s carrying a small tan backpack. This is the last time Mary Horn ever sees her daughter. When Brittany has not returned in 10 days and isn’t answering calls or texts, Mary Horn reports her daughter missing to West Virginia State police. Mary and sons Kevin and Neil spend days putting up fliers with pictures of Brittany. Brittany doesn’t drive, so the family focuses on foot searches starting from her mother’s home. They find no sign of Brittany. As the news of Brittany’s disappearance spreads, the family begins to receive tips from Brittany’s friends. A friend of Brittany’s claims he gave her a ride to a home in Louisa, Kentucky on June 12th. Brittany’s childhood best friend also comes forward, telling police she received a frantic voicemail from Brittany on June 13th. In the message, Brittany says she’s scared, trying to leave Louisa and get back home. A year after Brittany’s disappearance, with little progress from the West Virginia State Police, the lead investigator in Brittany’s case, Trooper Corey Maynard, is ambushed while responding to a shooting call in Mingo County. Maynard is shot several times, and dies of his injuries. Brittany’s case has to be reassigned, and a new investigator starts from scratch, losing more precious time searching for Brittany.
