A Hamilton County jury convicted Xavier Breland last week on a separate felony, and a Carmel woman claims he threatened her life during the trial.
Xavier Breland is facing a new intimidation allegation, and he remains the lone person of suspicion in the disappearance of his Carmel wife, Ciera Breland, more over two years ago.
On June 11, a Hamilton County jury convicted Xavier of unlawful possession of a handgun by a serious violent criminal, and a Carmel woman said that Xavier threatened her life throughout the trial. Ciera Breland was last seen on February 24, 2022, in Johns Creek, GA. She was visiting family with her husband, Xavier. He reported her missing from their Carmel home on February 26, 2022. However, Carmel police believe she never came home from Georgia. Their inquiry discovered three guns in their residence.
As a result, Xavier was found guilty last week. He is now in Hamilton County Jail, awaiting sentencing on July 18. Blaire Duncan attended the trial as an advocate for Ciera and her family. She claimed Xavier threatened her on the same day he was convicted. Duncan stated that Xavier also spotted her phone’s lock screen photo, which was of a child, and exclaimed, “Cute kid” – not as a complement.
According to court records, security cameras at the courthouse filmed the incident. Xavier is now charged with intimidation, and his first hearing is scheduled for July 10. But Duncan ultimately wants justice for Ciera, whose body has never been discovered. Duncan grew interested in the case after Ciera was reported missing. Duncan herself had been in an emotionally abusive relationship. She also recognised Xavier as a man whose profile she had seen on dating apps, despite his marital status. She reported it to Carmel police, investigated the case, and grew to know and love Ciera’s family.
Duncan attends all Indiana court proceedings regarding Xavier on behalf of Ciera’s family, who live in Georgia. Duncan believes Xavier murdered Ciera, and her body is most likely in Georgia or somewhere along the path from Georgia to Indiana. She encourages anyone with information to call the police or join the “Where is Ciera Breland” Facebook group.
