I'm not sure what they mean about "bringing in a dog with different skills," unless it's a cadaver dog.

The Wyoming branch of the FBI is being brought in to assist in finding a 28-year-old woman who disappeared six days ago in Worland.

Breanna Mitchell is described as a white woman with green eyes and brown hair, but her hair may be black now, according to posts on Facebook. She is 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs about 130 pounds.

She was last heard from Saturday after her car got stuck along rugged terrain near Nowater Trail past the Worland Municipal Airport, Washakie County Sheriff Austin T. Brookwell said in a statement. The car, a boot and a shirt were located, but Mitchell was not found.

A man, who authorities identified as "Mr. Romo," was interviewed in connection with her disappearance and "has been cooperative with law enforcement," Brookwell said Thursday.

"He has also informed us that he will come in and talk to us if we have any other questions that come up," Brookwell said.

Numerous others have been interviewed, too. The details of these interviews are not being released to the public, as this is an active investigation.

The FBI agreed to assist the Washakie County Sheriff's Office, with "better technology" to help manage data and higher levels of training on missing person's cases, Brookwell said.

Mitchell's family and law enforcement have not been able to contact her or ping her phone because it was shut off.

As of Thursday morning, authorities were granted search warrants for all of her cellphone, social media and email data, Brookwell said. They expect to receive that "from the many different sources" soon.

A bloodhound and its handler were unable to locate Mitchell on Wednesday, Brookwell said. The bloodhound detected a few areas Mitchell may have been around, but those didn't last long.

Authorities are bringing in a dog with different skills on Friday "to maybe find her," so members of the public assisting in the search are urged to stay clear of the area that night and early Saturday morning.

Search for Breanna Mitchell continues as FBI investigation provides lead​


The information shared by the Washakee County Sheriff's Office is pretty vague.

The search for missing Washakie County woman Breanna Mitchell is ongoing, though the Washakie County Sheriff’s Office said in a release that the FBI and K-9 units have provided information that could help narrow the search.

The FBI was able to approximate the last location Mitchell’s cellphone had service before the signal was lost. Though it’s possible that Mitchell continued moving after her cellphone died, the information still provides useful information by indicating where her phone was last in communication with a cell tower before losing power.

The sheriff’s office added that the data doesn’t provide a pinpoint location but a fairly large approximate area.

Washakie County Sheriff Austin Brookwell said K-9 units also found potential leads, and search and rescue crews are currently investigating the area. He declined to comment on where the leads were discovered to keep people from flooding the area and potentially jeopardizing any tracks or clues.
