BRANDI COLE - 17 yo (2007) - Tifton (N of Valdosta) GA

Its been three years since 17-year old Brandi
Cole went missing from Tift County. To this day her family members are
still searching for answers and clues as to where she and what happened.

For three years, Shellie Auchtung has been
missing an importance piece of her heart. "She just vanished. She was
supposed to show up to see me that night, but she never did," said
Auchtung.

Her 17-year old daughter, Brandi Cole never
came home July 7th 2007 and she has not been seen or heard from since.
"The next morning I woke up, and I just knew something was wrong," said
Auchtung.

Auchtung was originally told and reported to
police her daughter was last seen in Tifton getting into the car with
four Hispanic men but over the years she has been told otherwise.

But with no leads in the case, Auchtung says
she has taken it upon herself to look for clues in her daughters
disappearance. "I don't know what to do. I'm not asking for pity I don't
want no pity, I just want some help," said Auchtung.

"My sister wouldn't just up and leave,
someone knows what happened," said her sister Tia Cole.

Now the family is begging for answers,
regardless of the outcome. "I never got the chance to say I love you
before she left and I cant have that chance until we have her regardless
of the outcome," said Tia.

And they can't help but fear the worst. "I
know foul play was a part of it, anyone with any common sense knows
that," said Auchtung.

"Someone out there knows something and
doesn't have the heart to be anonymous about it and let our family know
what happened," said Tia.

The family hopes someone comes forward, to
help them finally have some closure.

When Brandi went missing she left behind her
two year old daughter Carmen. Family members say the child is now
with her father in Mexico but they are making a scrapbook album for her when she
gets older so she can draw her own conclusions as to what happened to
her mom.

The Tift County sheriff's office says there
have been no leads in this case and ask anyone with any information to
call Tift County Sheriff's Office at 229-388-6020

ALBANY,GA --
A Tifton mother hopes someone has information on the disappearance of her daughter.
Brandi Cole went missing June 7, 2007. She was 17 years old.
“I
talked with her on the phone on the sixth and she told me she was
coming by to see me and the baby, her baby. She had a two year old girl
at the time. She never showed up. I went to bed that night and I had a
really bad dream and I woke up and I just knew, I just knew something
had happened to my little girl,” says Brandi’s mother, Shellie Auchtung
Brandi
was last seen getting into a car with another girl and two Hispanic
looking men near Puckett Park in Tifton. Auchtung says it was unusual
for her daughter not to come visit when she said she would.
“I know my child. My child has never stayed more than two days without calling me or coming,” says Auchtung.
For Auchtung, all hope of finding Brandi alive has vanished. She has one thing to say to those responsible.
“Just
give a location. Let me have what's left. Her little girl deserves that
too. If you don't want to help me, help her little girl.”
If you
have any information about this case, call the Tift County Sheriff's
Office at 229-388-6021 or the Center for Missing and Exploited Children
at 1-800-843-5678 (1-800-THE-LOST).
