Today, we’ll be discussing the case of a five year old girl who attended a Christmas party with her mother on a freezing cold night in early December of 1989. Just as she and her mother were getting ready to leave and head back home for the night, the little girl was abducted with nearly 100 witnesses present, but it seems as though, no one saw a thing. After interviewing witnesses about what transpired that night, authorities quickly honed in on their prime suspect, but would their case against him be strong enough when the girls body had yet to be found?

If you have any information regarding what happened to Melissa Brannen or know where her remains are located, please contact the Fairfax County Police Major Crimes Bureau at 703-246-7800.
