MP of the week: Brianna Hughes

This week’s featured missing person is Brianna Jade Hughes, a 32-year-old woman who disappeared from Upper Burrell Township, Pennsylvania on December 15, 2016.

She has at least one tattoo, of the word “Breathe” on her upper chest; I was able to get a photo of it, as well as various photos of Hughes with different hairstyles. Her hair was a short bob at the time of her disappearance.

I don’t know much about her disappearance, but I hope she is still alive out there. She had some issues and problems in her life and I hope she hasn’t come to harm.

National Hispanic Heritage Month: Meredith Medina

(I had pre-written cases for September 30 and October 1, using the app on my phone. I didn’t realize until very late on October 1 that neither of them went up, and in fact they seem to have vanished. I need to stop using that app to try to write entries; it never seems to work well. I am trying to reconstruct the entries from memory.)

In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month I’m featuring a Hispanic missing person every day from September 15 to October 15. Today’s case is Meredith Ann Medina, a sixteen-year-old girl who disappeared from Midwest City, Oklahoma on February 14, 1989. She may go by the nickname Mere or her middle name, Ann.

She’s classified as a runaway, and I don’t know anything else about her disappearance. However, it’s worth noting that Meredith’s stepmother, Nancy Jean Medina, also disappeared without a trace in the 1980s, four and a half years before Meredith did.

It could be just a coincidence that there are two women missing from the same family. Certainly I’ve seen numerous cases of multiple people in a family disappearing in completely unrelated instances. It is odd, though.

If still alive, Meredith is now 46 years old, 47 late this month.
