Sister Of Missing Woman: 'This Is Not By Choice'

MONROE COUNTY (WWJ) - Another day of searching comes and goes, and there is still no sign of a missing 22-year-old Monroe County woman.

Chelsea Bruck disappeared from an outdoor Halloween party early Sunday morning at a home in Frenchtown Township.

Witnesses reported seeing Bruck about 3 a.m. with a man, walking in the direction of where cars were parked.

Kassandra Bruck is the missing woman's sister - she tells WWJ's Jon Hewett that she doesn't believe her sister would willingly disconnect from the family.

"If she was able to get to us - she would have by now, this is not by choice, we know that for sure," said Kassandra, "there is no inclination that this is by choice."

Chelsea Bruck of Maybee, Michigan, was last seen at a Halloween party with more than 500 people at the home.

Monroe County Sheriff's Captain Brett Ortolano said they've been using all available resources they have in searching for Bruck.
