Missing Brewton Teen Found Safe In Georgia
April 1, 2016
There’s a happy ending to the nearly two month search for a teen missing from Brewton.
On Thursday, the Brewton Police Department said 16-year-old Brooke Bridges had been found safe and sound in her home state of Georgia. However, officials stressed she was not found in her hometown.
She was found thanks to tip police received on social media Thursday. Police have not confirmed if she was abducted or ran away, but they said she was ready to return to her family in Brewton.
FBI officials said their investigation into the matter is not over; there is no word yet if anyone will face in charges in the case.
Bridges had been missing since she was last seen at the family home in Brewton about 11 pm. on Sunday, February 7.

I like John, would like to hear the whole & the real story, before I say too much. But, I will say if she left on her own, & no harm was coming to her from home besides discipline, when she in the wrong, she would need a swift kick in the rear as I used to hear, if someone helped her, then both need both need one, these kids do not know what parents go through nor do they care. I heard on the news that pretty much she said or though that her parents assumed or might assume she was dead, so she just didn’t go back. What? Shaking my head. Now, if someone kidnapped & held her that is a totally different story, but it still doesn’t explain the fact that she would continue not to contact her parents. This story simply does not add up. My kid prolly most definitely would have worried she might get her rearend in trouble.
@Jeeperman,
“How do you know that she was detained by another? She could be a run-a-way”
That was also stated in the writer’s post when they used the word “Harboring”. Harboring, or hiding a runaway juvenile, is illegal.
GLAD YOUR HOME AN SAFE.WELCOME HOME BROOKE
SO GLAD YOUR HOME AN SAFE NOW MOM AN DAD CAN GET A GOOD NITE SLEEP WELCOMEHOME BROOKE
Curious to know the whole story, before I add my two cents.
How do you know that she was detained by another?
She could be a run-a-way.
Glad this young lady was found safe and is now back with her family.
Someone was either harboring or detaining this juvenile, in violation of the law.
After all this ado, someone should be prosecuted.
So glad she was found safe!!!!
