Family Desperately Searching for Missing North Carolina Woman Last Seen Visiting Her Children
Authorities in Charlotte, North Carolina, are asking for the public’s help in locating a missing woman whose family says vanished after leaving to visit her children earlier this month.

Brandi Merrick, 37, was last seen on June 8, 2026, at approximately 8:30 p.m., according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. Investigators say she left a family member’s residence in the 4500 block of Houldsworth Drive and told relatives she planned to visit her children at her ex-boyfriend’s nearby home.
Family members said the visit was supposed to be brief. According to loved ones, Brandi typically spent only a couple of hours with her children before returning home. This time, however, she never came back.
Days later, her family still had not heard from her, prompting growing fears for her safety and well-being.
Loved ones say Brandi’s disappearance is completely out of character and that the uncertainty surrounding her whereabouts has been devastating.
“She said she was going to see her children and would be back soon,” one family member reportedly told investigators. “We just want to know she’s safe.”
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department has launched a missing person investigation and is urging anyone who may have seen Brandi or knows anything about her disappearance to come forward.
Investigators have not released any details suggesting foul play, but they continue to follow leads and gather information in hopes of locating the missing mother.
As the days pass, Brandi’s family says their concern continues to grow. They are pleading with the public to remain vigilant and share information that might help bring her home safely.
Police are asking residents throughout Charlotte and surrounding communities to be on the lookout for Brandi Merrick and to report any possible sightings immediately.
Anyone with information regarding her whereabouts is urged to contact the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department at (704) 336-7600 or call 911.
Authorities have assigned case number #20260612-1441-00 to the investigation.
For Brandi’s loved ones, every hour without answers brings more pain and uncertainty.
As search efforts continue, family members say they remain hopeful that someone, somewhere, may have seen something that could help solve the mystery and reunite the 37-year-old mother with the people who love her most.
Anyone with information, no matter how small it may seem, is encouraged to contact authorities immediately.
