Lost Teenagers: The Puzzling Cases of Brianna Maitland & Emily Paul

The Eerie Side Podcast

This episode discusses two intriguing disappearance cases. The first story is about Brianna Maitland, a 17-year-old who went missing in 2004. Details include her sudden disappearance after a work shift, the discovery of her abandoned car, and numerous theories regarding her fate, including possibilities of voluntary departure, being a victim of foul play, or even connections to other disappearances like that of Maura Murray. Technological advances, such as DNA testing, have not yet yielded concrete answers.
The second story covers Emily Paul, who vanished at age 14 in 2013 after leaving a note saying she would contact her family at 18. Five years later, letters believed to be from Emily began arriving, and she eventually contacted police to confirm her well-being, though the circumstances surrounding her abrupt disappearance and return remain mysterious. The episode delves into theories of abuse, possible abduction, and why Emily might have left and returned under such conditions.
