21-Year-Old Brianna Zani Found Unharmed

2bzani0310.jpg Brianna Zani—the 21-year-old who first went missing one week ago today, only to be brought to Woodhull Hospital and promptly escape—has been found. Her family was readying to make a desperate plea on CNN last night when Zani showed back up at her Bushwick apartment at 5 p.m., unharmed.

Her father, Will Zani, says his daughter had no idea people were looking for her. In the past week a number of websites, Facebook groups and fliers have been created, while search teams filled with friends and strangers were organized via Twitter. She told him she was sorry “to cause such a fuss.’’

According to her family, Zani has battled depression and may suffer from bipolar disorder; it is believed that when she originally left her apartment, with all of her all of her belongings behind, she had stopped taking an experimental antidepressant called Levomilnacipran.

    Why am I not surprised Woodhull was involved? I used to live across the street from that shithole. I met lots of the docs at the local diner and they all told me to stay FAR, far away. I'd seen some pretty crazy things go down there.

    Glad the girl's alright but damn. Forget the Levomilnacipran. Get yoself a damn comb baby! To paraphrase a timeless Wesley Willis lyric, "Get that rat's nest off your skull!"

  • Include a coke, fries and some rolling papers with that, and they would have found her in 10....

  • SighR

    I still think she's cute tho.

    The Bride of Taylor Swift? "She's alive, alive!"

  • Yeah, I'm quite sure that's the same person!

    She might have lost weight, which would explain why she looks different in the pics her family and friends circulated when she was missing.

    She's still beautiful in both sets of pics - and I do hope she gets the help she needs.

    woa at her myspace. she's a big girl! I'd never knew that from the pics posted here. I was looking for some skinny chick damn.

  • PorkJuiceMilkshake

    Repeating the name of that anti-depressant just makes me depressed. Where the hell did she go anyway??

  • I think we've established that - but thank you for pointing that out!

  • longacre

    Bet she would have been found a lot quicker if her friends had posted some full body shots. The flattering angle facebook shots they put out made her look like a waif and nothing like her myspace photos.

  • But her boobs are huge too - so it balances out!

  • theboneranger

    you mean fauxhemian hatred jokes.

  • I saw a picture of her posted on the door of the Mediterranean place next to B-Natch.

    Surprised there are no "21yo girl living in Bushwick" hipster hatred jokes.

    Hey, you are missing out on a segment of the population. There's some good loving to be had there!

  • potsmoker

    If this is newsworthy we need to know how many different DNA profiles were swabbed from her throat, azz & vag.

    she wasnt missing she was prob doing a coke binge adicktion with her pimp.



  • Yahtzee

    I'd still hit it twice...have to be shitfaced though. Or sober but noone would be allowed to know. Ahhh fuck it I'd hit it any which way.
