BROOKFIELD – The Brookfield community gathered Friday evening for a candlelight vigil to mark two years since disappearance of 35-year-old Brittany Tee on January 10, 2023.
The community packed the Brookfield Congregational Church, surrounding the family and vowing to keep looking for Brittany.
Since that day of January 10, her family has carried an unrelenting burden on their hearts because they do not know where she is.
‘Where is she? What happened to her?’
“They say time heals all wounds, but I disagree, not when your family member disappears out of nowhere without a trace,” says Brittany’s sister Bethany Tee. ‘Time makes that wound bigger. There is no healing, no closure, just a daily heavy feeling in your heart and constant worry. Where is she? What happened to her? Is she safe? Are we doing enough?’

The 35-year-old was last seen leaving the Main Street home she shared with her boyfriend on Tuesday evening. Despite attempts to reach her, she was never seen again.
A nearby river and woods have been extensively searched, without results.
DA attends the wake
Worcester Country District Attorney Joseph Early joined the vigil to ensure community investigators are still working on the case.
“It doesn’t always happen as quickly as we would like, and that’s the hard part, that’s hard, the fear, the wonder,” DA Early said. “But I can tell you this: Everything they do, they do better than anyone I’ve ever seen.”
Two years later, they hold on to all the hope, hugs, kind words and prayers, and refuse to give up the search for Brittany.
“We don’t give up; we will never give up. We love you and miss you Brit and we’re bringing you home,” Bethany Tee said.
The night she was last seenBrittany wore a black winter coat, hoodie, jeans and work boots.
