Jackson police find woman who had been reported missing

 

JACKSON (WNE) — Braigene Collins, who had been reported missing in September, has been found and is safe, the Jackson Police Department announced Friday evening.

Police officers told the Jackson Hole Daily earlier last week that they were following a soft lead in the case.

“We followed some leads that led us to a potential employer in another state,” police said Friday in a news release. “A detective from that jurisdiction contacted the business and shortly afterward, Ms. Collins called one of our detectives to confirm she is safe.”

Police noted that the case had garnered significant public interest and so authorities wanted the public to know that the 30-year-old had been found.

However, the release added, “Out of respect for Ms. Collins’ privacy we won’t be releasing her current location.”

Collins was last seen in Jackson on Sept. 14. She did not show up for her shift at the 49’er Inn and Suites in downtown Jackson. Her employer told police that she had always been responsive and responsible with her job. Police found personal items left behind in Collins’ employee housing, but not her wallet or cellphone.

Police first alerted the public about the missing Jackson woman in an Oct. 14 Facebook post.
