The Pine Bluff Police Department confirmed Sunday that charges have been filed against 31-year-old Tony Thompson Jr. in connection with the disappearance of 43-year-old Joynell Brandon.
Thompson faces first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse charges, with bond set at $1 million. Brandon was last heard from on May 13, when she sent a text asking her family to leave the door open because she would be home later that night. She never returned, and phone and text contact with her stopped completely.
Brandon’s body has not been located. Investigators say the case remains active and they continue to work closely with her family. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Pine Bluff Police Department Detective’s Office at 870-730-2090 or submit a tip online at PBPD.org/Crime-Tips.
