Overview
- Surveillance footage shows Chantel Brooks leaving her San Francisco hotel around 12:20 a.m. and then a Fairfield CVS parking lot at about 1:45 a.m. on July 17 when she was last seen approaching her black 2021 Infiniti QX50.
- Fairfield police said Tuesday they now believe Brooks’ disappearance involved foul play and that the investigation remains active as detectives follow leads.
- Investigators have executed dozens of search warrants and carried out multiple coordinated ground searches supported by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services along with extensive aerial drone grid searches.
- Brooks’ Infiniti (California plate 9SBB134) was last recorded by a Flock automated license-plate reader in Oakland but the vehicle itself has not been located, and police have urged anyone who has seen the car to contact them.
- Family members have canvassed neighborhoods, held vigils and distributed flyers while officials continue to ask the public for tips; police have not publicly detailed the specific evidence that led them to conclude foul play.
