MISSING PERSON ALERT: BRITTANY MOESER
April 24, 2024
The Washington County IL Sheriff's Office is urgently seeking the public's assistance in locating Brittany Moeser, a 36-year-old female who has been missing since April 13, 2024, from Clarmin, Illinois.
Brittany Moeser is described as 5’7” tall, weighing approximately 128 pounds, with light red hair. She was last seen on April 13, 2024, when she left her residence.
Family members reported Brittany missing and indicated that she may be armed, prompting responders to exercise extreme caution during the initial search efforts. Despite extensive search operations involving numerous search and rescue agencies from St. Clair, Washington, and Randolph counties, as well as the Eureka MO Search and Rescue team, Brittany Moeser has not yet been located.
The Illinois State Police (ISP) have conducted two flyovers of the area since Brittany's disappearance. Additionally, two drone teams from Irvington, IL, and Coulterville, IL, have provided assistance in the search efforts. Over the past 12 days efforts have been extensive, covering over 500 acres of land.
It is imperative to note that while Brittany has previously left home, she has always maintained contact with her family members. However, her current disappearance is concerning due to her known medical conditions, which greatly jeopardize her mental and physical well-being.
Sheriff Ross Schultze of the Washington County IL Sheriff's Office implores anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Brittany Moeser to come forward. Time is of the essence in situations such as this, and any information, no matter how small, could be crucial to locating Brittany and ensuring her safety.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Brittany Moeser during this time of great uncertainty. The Washington County IL Sheriff's Office remains committed to the search and investigation, and we will continue to pursue all leads until Brittany is located.
If you have any information regarding Brittany Moeser's whereabouts, please use the information listed below.

Thank you all for your assistance!
Brynlee Pelczynski took an early lead last night in her race against Det. Styninger, but Det. Styninger pulled through towards the end. I'm pretty sure Det. Styninger slicked her track prior to the race. I call for a rematch!
Shout out to Washington County Fair Assoc, Nashville for putting on a fantastic night! The deputies were all super impressed with the amount of work you all did to make sure the fair grounds were ready and comfortable for all the visitors. You battled some rough weather earlier this week, but Wednesday night was absolutely perfect. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Since being released from field training, Dpt. Klingeman has been busy running traffic detail. On June 13th, 2024 he made a traffic stop at County Hwy 12/Marissa Rd. Marissa. The driver was cited for driving 94 in a 55 MPH zone. This speeding citation could cost the driver up to $325, and a mandatory date with the judge. This driver likely will have to take some time off of work to make his mandatory court appearance. Unfortunately, speeding is a reoccurring issue, especially by the coal mine. Sheriff Schultze has tasked deputies with doing extra patrol in high accident and known speeding areas. Thankfully, this driver's poor choices only resulted in citation(s), and not a major traffic accident or loss of life.
Congratulations to Charles S. Carroll on his promotion. Effective today, Charles Carroll has been appointed as Chief Deputy for Washington County Sheriff's Office. Chief Deputy Carroll was hired with the Washington County Sheriff's Office in 2007. In 2011 he was promoted to Sgt. Chief Deputy Charles Carroll has spent most of the last 13 years as the night shift supervisor and FTO (Field Training Officer). His expertise and knowledge has molded several of our past and present deputies into what they are today. Thank you Chief Deputy Carroll for all your years of service dedicated to Washington County and we are very excited for you in your new role. Congratulations!
Feel free to visit during normal business hours.
