It's been 9 agonizing months since Brandi Brown's family has seen or heard from her.

The 24-year-old disappeared last September after she'd been in a car accident. Loved ones say she was in the hospital for a short time, but then just walked away from there.

They have no idea where she is.

Jasmine Little is Brandi's sister.

She says, "For her to just be missing like this - it's just, I just want her to come home. I look at pictures of her all the time. I miss her so much."

Little says Brandi sometimes hung out with the wrong people.

They say she wasn't in a good emotional place at the time of the accident, but there's no way she'd just take off and leave her 4-year-old daughter behind.

"Neglecting her family, neglecting her child - that's not her. So, something has happened, I just don't know what it is," says Little.

Brandi's dad, Mario Brown, says he has walked up and down the streets of Detroit, hanging posters of his missing daughter for months.

"The longer that it gets, the worst that I feel. I'm still looking. I ain't gonna stop," says Brown.

Brandi has her daughter's name, Allycia, tattooed on her back. The little girl, who's 4, lives out of state with her father.

"What am I supposed to tell my niece. I don't know what to tell her? Your mom just dropped off face of the earth? It's not just about her missing. It's about somebody else who's missing her," says Little.

"I just want her to come back to her family. We love you and we miss you," she says.

Brandi's family is pleading for anyone who knows what happened to her not to stay silent.

If you have any information on where she is, please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP. You do not have to give your name. There is a $2,500 reward for information that leads to an arrest in this case.
