Brittney was last seen playing outside of the Village Manor Apartment complex in Sturgis, Michigan at 8:45 p.m. on September 16, 1997.
A witness told police that he saw Brittney speaking with an unidentified man. The unidentified man, who has not been named a suspect, was described as being in his late twenties or thirties. He had short dark hair, a thick mustache, and was driving either a mid-sized red or brown car.
A bloodhound was able to follow Brittney's scent from her apartment to a nearby Marathon gas station, where the trail ended. Brittney's abduction remains unsolved.
