On March 19, 2004, Brianna Maitland vanished after leaving her shift at the Black Lantern Inn in Montgomery, Vermont. Her car was discovered backed into an abandoned barn—with the engine running, her wallet and paychecks still inside, and no sign of Brianna. In this episode of Dark Dialogue, we dive deep into the theory that her disappearance was tied to Franklin County’s growing drug underworld.

Was Brianna caught in the crossfire of crack cocaine dealers and unpaid debts? Or was she silenced for knowing too much?

We investigate the individuals operating a shadowy drug network just 10 miles from the crime scene, including Ramon “Street” Ryans and Nathaniel “Low” Jackson—New York dealers running a farmhouse pipeline into rural Vermont. We break down the infamous April 2004 raid, explore rumors of hostage-taking, and examine an unverified affidavit that alleges Brianna was murdered and fed to pigs.

From disturbing connections to another Vermont murder—Ligia Rae Collins—to the strange disappearance of evidence and the chilling silence from key witnesses, this episode confronts the rot beneath a postcard-perfect town. These aren’t just whispers—they’re warnings.

🎧 Dark Dialogue: Brianna Maitland – Episode 3: Small Town Secrets: Drugs, Debt, and Disappearances is a fearless exploration of what lies beneath the surface.
