Brown was last seen at 2 p.m. on Jan. 3 by "a friend and business associate," investigators have said. She was supposed to pick up her 8-year-old son from school the next day but never showed up.

"Friends and family have not heard from her since that day," Steele, adding that Brown was a "devoted mother of an 8-year-old boy."

Brown’s longtime friend, Tiffany Barron, told FOX29 while the search was still ongoing that Brown was the "most responsible" person she knew.
"She’s never going to abandon her son, so this is just very, very unlike her," she said.
