EquuSearch … THEY HAVE FOUND THE BODY OF MISSING BRANDI LAURENT. (developing …)
UPDATE II: Multiple search teams under the organization and direction of Texas EquuSearch have located the body of missing 29 year old Brandi Laurent. In less than one hour after the search began, the Harrison County Sheriff’s Mounted Patrol located the remains of Brandi Laurent. Brandi was found in tall grass approximately 6 to 8 feet tall near a power line.
The location where Brandi Laurent’s body was found was less than one mile from where she lived on Kiln, MS off of Road 528 and 530. Reports are that her clothing was the first indication that this was the body of missing Brandi Laurent.
Kudos to law enforcement and the multiple search teams and their cooperation in helping the family of Brandi Laurent and bringing them answers and Brandi home. This search effort represents the best of what can happen when law enforcement and search teams all cooperate for the greater good. We spoke with TES Case Manager Cindy Wisdom this afternoon, she stated that all the search teams and law enforcement worked together to accomplish the outcome to bring closure and answers to the family of Brandi Laurent.
It probably will not be long before Brandi’s husband, Leo, will have to be doing some explaining to law enforcement. Its only a matter of time.

Stacy Peterson - search update 11/05/07
Cassandra Cales, Stacy’s sister, contacted EquuSearch and asked for the national organization’s help, said Cindy Wisdom, case manager for the not-for-profit group founded in 2000 to help authorities find missing people.
“We don’t enter a case unless family or law enforcement contacts us, and we don’t move forward with a case unless law enforcement agrees to work with us,” Wisdom said, adding the group has opened cases on more than 800 missing people and found 300—and the remains of 76 others. “The idea is to bring home missing persons, dead or alive.” (Chicago Tribune)
