South Salt Lake police are stepping up the search for 35-year-old Brandi Wood and are asking the public to help find her after she disappeared over the weekend near a busy neighborhood corridor.
Wood was last seen on Saturday, Feb. 21, in the area of State Street and Utopia Avenue in South Salt Lake. She is described as about 5-foot-7 and 160 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. At the time she went missing, she was reported to be wearing a baby-blue long-sleeve shirt, black leggings, and white Converse shoes.
On Monday, the department shared an appeal for information on its Facebook page. According to that South Salt Lake Police Department Facebook post, the case is listed under number LK2026-5411. Anyone with information is urged to call the tip line at 801-840-4000 and reference that case number.
How to help
If you were in the State Street and Utopia Avenue area on Saturday and have dash-cam, doorbell, or surveillance footage, police are asking you to hold onto it and contact investigators. Even background details in a video clip or a brief sighting can help them retrace Wood’s movements.
The Utah Department of Public Safety notes that there is no required waiting period to report someone missing and maintains a statewide clearinghouse of resources to help families and law enforcement coordinate searches. More information is available through the Utah Department of Public Safety.
Local context
South Salt Lake police frequently turn to social media to quickly mobilize residents during missing persons searches, and local coverage shows those alerts can gain traction fast. An urgent search for a missing 14-year-old in the city last year is one example of how posts and neighborhood shares can spread in a hurry across feeds and local outlets, as per Hoodline.
Anyone with information about where Brandi Wood might be is asked to call South Salt Lake Police at 801-840-4000 and reference case LK2026-5411. Investigators emphasize that even small tips could help them piece together what happened after she was last seen.
