Overview
- Chantel Brooks was last seen after leaving work in San Francisco and surveillance filmed her at a Fairfield CVS on July 17, with her black 2021 Infiniti SUV later recorded by a license-plate reader in East Oakland that same day.
- A friend requested a welfare check on July 27, which prompted Fairfield police to open a formal missing-person probe and obtain a search warrant for her residence.
- Fairfield detectives now say they suspect foul play and have spent roughly 500 hours on the case while executing multiple search warrants across Solano, Alameda and San Francisco counties.
- Several vehicles and more than 10 digital devices have been seized and are being processed for evidence, but police have not identified any suspects and warn that social-media accusations are unverified.
- Brooks’s family continues door-to-door searches and public appeals for information, and investigators urge anyone with tips to contact the Fairfield Police Department as key forensic results await lab analysis.
