The Pine Bluff Police Department is continuing its active search for Joynell Brandon, who has been missing since May 13, 2025. Brandon was last seen in the area of University Avenue, and detectives say they are pursuing every lead in the ongoing investigation.
Police officials are urging anyone with information — no matter how small — to come forward and assist in locating Brandon.
“Joynell has three children, and they are desperate for any information about their mother,” said PBPD Public Information Specialist John Worthen. “This is a woman who is deeply loved, and we know her family is hurting right now. We have not stopped searching, and we won’t stop until answers are found.”
Brandon is described as being 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighing approximately 220 pounds.
As the six-month mark of her disappearance approaches, Worthen emphasized that the case remains a top priority for investigators.
