Authorities and relatives discuss the details of the search

for Brittany Battaglia

In an interview with reporters, Brittany Battaglia's roommate, Quamieshia Greathouse, discussed the missing person's intentions before she left home.

Greathouse said:

"She told me that she was going to go over there, cook him a meal, make sure he ate something, drink some waters. She was going to come back home to get ready for her friends mom's birthday party."

Greathouse said that on June 5, Brittany was supposed to go on a work trip. The roommate told reporters:

"I'm still waiting for evidence that she had at least come home, started packing, preparing for the trip, and nothing."

Greathouse became concerned after she stopped hearing from Brittany Battaglia on Saturday, when her roommate's car disappeared.

On Sunday, upon hearing no word from the missing victim, she filed a police report. She said that she immediately informed the victim's family members, who were worried since her phone stopped ringing on Monday, June 5. Prior to this, the phone would ring, but there would be no answer.

AJ Battaglia told ABC reporters:

"We noticed her location was off, wasn't shared with us anymore as it usually is. It's unlike Brittany not to be communicative. She lives on her phone."

Officials have not discussed whether foul play is suspected in the case. Relatives said that the victim had not been behaving strangely prior to her disappearance, and that she had no reason to leave home.

However, Brittany Battaglia's family members added that the victim's boyfriend is unstable. The unnamed boyfriend, who she started dating recently, supposedly has mental health issues.

Authorities have not discussed whether he is a person of interest in Battaglia's disappearance.

Battaglia was described by family members as 5 foot 2 and 180 pounds with blue hair and blonde eyes. Officials believe there is a chance she may still be in her Blue Mazda.
