Husband named 'person of interest' in disappearance of 31-year-old Indiana mother last seen in Georgia​

Police have named the husband of a missing 31-year-old Indiana mother as a person of interest in her disappearance. Georgia police are working to help find her as she was last seen by family members in metro Atlanta.

Xavier Breland Jr., 37, was arrested on Wednesday on an unrelated warrant out of Coweta County. He was being held in the Hamilton County jail in Indiana awaiting extradition to Georgia. Investigators have not revealed what charges were listed on the warrant.

The official missing person's report states that Ciera (Locklair) Breland was last seen around 10 p.m. on Feb. 25 in the Brookstone Park of Carmel subdivision in Carmel, Indiana. That is just north of Indianapolis. That report was filed with the Carmel Police Department over the weekend.

The report also states she said she was headed to the store wearing a black top and purple shorts. The FOX 5 Storm Team said temperatures in Carmel, Indiana were in the mid- to upper-20s that night. Family members said police told them she never arrived there and there was no surveillance video of her entering the store.

She also left without her cell phones, credit cards, or her months old son, family members said.

Ciera was last seen by her father on Feb. 20 in Georgia before returning to Johns Creek with her husband. Those same family member said they never saw her return to Indiana.

The Johns Creek Police Department issued a statement on Tuesday asking the public's help in finding her. The department issued a joint release with the Carmel Police Department on Wednesday that named her husband as a person of interest.

"This continues to be an active investigation, and this is the only information that will be released at this time. As the investigation continues, more information will be released as it becomes available," the release noted.

No active leads 3 years after Carmel mom vanished, husband remains person of interest​

It’s been three years since 31-year-old Ciera Breland vanished without a trace and while investigators said it remains an ongoing investigation, they have no active leads.


Xavier told investigators his wife simply left their home without her cell phone, keys or her infant son and never returned. However, detectives didn’t buy that story.

Soon after, police said Xavier stopped cooperating with investigators and was labeled a person of interest in Ciera’s disappearance.

“Xavier is still a person of interest at this time,” Cap. Deb Coble with the Johns Creek Police Department said.


“To keep it in the public eye is really what we want to do because it’s going be that one person that comes forward,” Capt. Coble said. “It could be the most minor thing and they don’t realize it that kind of ties it all together for us.”
 
With the history between her and Xavier, I really thought this case would’ve been closed by now.

My guess is they know he did it, and they likely have a fair circumstantial case but as in most would prefer to have more and find her body.

I don't always agree with this, especially after many years pass but then we never know if they have a little or a lot in some cases, as far as other evidence...
 

'Important not to forget': Carmel woman Ciera Breland still missing after 3 years​

After her niece went missing, Jeannie Locklair Bush found it difficult to write.

“Ciera (Breland) was my biggest fan,” Bush said in a message to IndyStar. “She used to beg me to publish (my writing) ... After she disappeared, it was just too hard.”

Ciera Breland, a mother who lived in Carmel, has now been missing for just over three years. Her last known location was in Johns Creek, Georgia.

“We still have no answers,” Bush said in a message to IndyStar. “Still not knowing what happened, truly saying goodbye and grieving is impossible. We are all trying our best to move forward and honor Ciera.”


Lt. Eric Rozier, of the Johns Creek Police Department in Georgia, said he does not have any new updates or active investigative leads to share with the public.

“It’s important to keep this story alive because information from the public is often a way for cold cases to break,” Rozier said in an email to IndyStar.

There is still a $10,000 reward available for information leading to the whereabouts of Ciera Breland from the FBI in Atlanta.

Xavier Breland Jr. is still considered a person of interest in the case because he was the last known person with Ciera Breland, Rozier said.

"It’s important not to forget Ciera Breland’s tragic disappearance,” Rozier said via email. “I have faith that the truth will come to light at some point. That will be a great day, and we want nothing more than to bring justice to Ciera and provide closure for her family.”
