Its been more than two decades since Brandy Wilson disappeared leaving only her wedding rings behind.
Authorities believe the Indiana mom likely met a sinister end, but the 2002 case has been difficult to prove, in part, because her remains have never been found.
Cold Justice to review Brandy Wilson’s disappearance
In an attempt to move the case forward, Cold Justice prosecutor Kelly Siegler and homicide investigator Steve Spingola will join forces with the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office in an all-new episode, titled “Final Warning,” airing Sat., Oct. 4 at 8/7c on Oxygen.
“Kelly and Steve team up with the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office to solve the heartbreaking cold case of a young mother who vanished, leaving only her wedding rings behind,” reads an episode description. “Did she walk away, or was she murdered?”
The team will travel to the rural property Brandy once shared with her husband, Kenny Wilson.
“This is where it all started as far as law enforcement coming out here, checking the property,” Lt. Dan Roudebush of the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office, explained in an episode preview. “Then later on the days after that, the search parties organized by friends and family were out in this area searching the fields, walking the woods.”
Siegler asked, “You think she’s out here?”
Although authorities believed it’s possible Brandy’s remains could be somewhere in the vast rural area, it’s been more than two decades since she disappeared.
“Regardless,” Roudebush remarked in the sneak peek, “we’re never gonna know.”
The remains would have likely been left in the elements, decomposing for years, prompting Siegler to add, “And even if you find her, what’s it going to tell you 22 years later?”
The team agreed it was unlikely they’d be able to determine a cause of death at this point.
“We just may be able to bring her home,” Roudebush said. “That would be the nice thing to do.”
Why are “no body” cases so challenging?
According to Siegler, “no body” cases like Brandy’s can be harder to prosecute.
“I’ve worked a lot of no body cases and they’re the hardest ones to work because everybody wants the body to prove for sure that somebody’s dead and also to try and show cause of death,” she told producers in the preview. “In Brandy’s case, finding her body has been important to the Clinton County Sheriff’s Department since the very beginning, but I know that if the circumstantial evidence is strong enough, you don’t need a body.”
To find out what Siegler and her team are able to uncover during their investigation, watch Cold Justice Sat., Oct. 4 at 8/7c on Oxygen.
