Mysterious Death: Brent Brand

In the summer of 1986, 18-year-old Brent Brand attended a party in Vincennes, Indiana — and never made it home.

Eight days later, his body was found face down in a drainage ditch across state lines. No visible injuries. No clear cause of death.

A Priest had the answers... But would he talk?

What followed wasn’t just an investigation… it became a witch hunt. Over 30 witnesses were named — including police officers. Brent’s mother spent the rest of her life fighting for answers she never got.This is the case that haunts a town.And the silence still speaks volumes.
