Rilya Wilson

Rilya Wilson’s disappearance came to light because of another little girl’s death. It is a bit convoluted, but we will get there.

On April 28, 2001, the body of a 3-year-old girl was found in Kansas City, Missouri. The girl had been murdered and decapitated shortly before the body was discovered. The little girl was named “Precious Doe” by the Kansas City community and was buried.  However, busts were made and because of the brutality of the crime and the unknown identity, Precious Doe brought national attention.

Rilya (which stands for “Remember I Love You Always”) Wilson and her two siblings were removed from her mother’s care when Rilya was still an infant. They were placed with Geralyn Graham, who was the children’s aunt or godmother (the relationship is unclear), in Miami Florida. Rilya’s birth mother, Gloria Wilson, had a cocaine addiction and was unable to care for her children. She eventually lost her parental rights permanently.

Florida’s Department of Children and Families (DCF) was obligated to check up on the children during monthly visits. Deborah Muskelly was the social worker assigned to do the monthly visits.  The last time there was a family visit was January of 2001.

Graham later told authorities that an unidentified African American female arrived at her home on January 18, 2001. The woman claimed to work for DCF and she was removing Rilya for some evaluations and testing. Rilya had reportedly been diagnosed with unspecified behavior problems prior to the last regular monthly visit. She was never heard from again. Graham claimed the abductor spoke with a thick “African” accent. This woman, Graham said, was extremely familiar with Rilya’s history and said the other social worker was aware of her. Graham also claims that two other people came to her home and requested toys to help Rilya transition to her new surroundings.

Muskelly and her supervisor did resign in March 2002 amid accusations that she had fraudulent home visit records. The agency contacted Graham while doing an internal investigation and learned of the possible abduction in April of 2002, 15 months after Rilya allegedly disappeared. 

Muskelly was criminally charged with 41 counts, including grand theft, relating to her alleged deficiency at her job. She pleaded guilty to one count of official misconduct and the had grand theft charge adjudicated so she received five years ‘ probation. The other 39 charges were dropped.  Muskelly admitted she billed the state as a social worker for the times when she was actually working her other job as a teacher. She had not been charged directly in connection with Rilya’s disappearance.

Patricia Kendrick is Gloria’s aunt, and her relationship to Graham is also unclear. However, Kendrick was a secondary caretaker to Rilya. 

In August 2004, Graham was charged with kidnapping and three counts of child abuse, and Kendrick with two lesser counts of child abuse. Kendrick promised to testify against Graham at her trial. She says both of them spanked Rilya with switches, locked her in a dog cage and in the laundry room.

Graham was later jailed for identity fraud and Medicaid fraud for accepting payments on behalf of Wilson after she was missing.  The two caretakers maintained that a DCF worker had taken the child for medical testing and never returned. Authorities denied that any state worker had ever taken Wilson for medical testing.

In August 2004, Graham was charged with kidnapping and three counts of child abuse, and Kendrick with two lesser counts of child abuse. Kendrick promised to testify against Graham at her trial. She says both of them spanked Rilya with switches, locked her in a dog cage and in the laundry room.

In March 2005, a grand jury indicted Geralyn Graham after she allegedly confessed in detail to inmate Robin Lunceford, who testified at trial over four days. Two other inmates also testified that Graham, while behind bars, suggested she killed the child.

In January 2013, the jury convicted Graham of kidnapping and child abuse, but deadlocked 11 to 1 on the charge of murder.

On February 12, 2013, the judge sentenced Graham to 30 years for kidnapping plus 25 years for aggravated child abuse. Two other abuse sentences – 25 years and five years, respectively – will be served concurrently for a total of 55 years behind bars. Prosecutors had sought the maximum of life plus 65 years, but at 67 years old at the time of sentencing, Graham will end up serving a life sentence.

The case led to the resignation of DCF director Kathleen Kearney and the passage of several reform laws, including a new missing-child-tracking system and the contracting out of foster child casework to private organizations. Lawmakers also made it illegal to falsify records of visits between caseworkers and foster children.

On May 5, 2005, Precious Doe was positively identified as three-year-old Erica Green. She was never reported missing, but relatives began to question where she was. Erica’s stepfather, Harrell Johnson, was convicted of murder and received a life sentence. Her mother, Michelle Johnson, received 25 years in exchange for her testimony against Harrell.

Rilya’s body has not been found, and it is possible that she was not murdered. Rilya was four years old at the time she disappeared. She was born September 19, 1996.

Toni Sharpless

Toni Sharpless

Toni Sharpless was 29 years old when she disappeared from Philadelphia, PA on August 23, 2009.

Toni was working as a registered nurse and raising her 12-year-old daughter with the assistance of her mother. She had been hospitalized for bipolar disorder a few times, but I am not clear on when her last hospitalization was: either six months or several years. By all accounts, until the evening of her disappearance, her mental illness was well maintained.

On the night of her disappearance, Toni went out to a club in Philadelphia with her friend Crystal Johns.  Her friend knew the owner of the club, who was the brother of former Philadelphia 76er player Willie Green, and they were in the VIP lounge. Crystal claims neither was drinking heavily at the club as they were mostly dancing. At the time the club closed (at 2:30 AM) Crystal and Toni were invited to Willie Green’s house in Gladwyne, PA. While they were there, Toni flew into a rage and started throwing furniture around and yelling. Crystal claims she had never seen Toni act like that before and realized she was intoxicated. Willie Green asked her to leave and Toni grabbed her keys and insisted on driving.  Green did ask Crystal if she was sure she wanted to get in the car with her, and Crystal admits she was not overly concerned about her driving.

Once the women were in the car, and still in Gladwyne, Toni became irate with Crystal and began to scream at her for laughing at her back at the party. She told Crystal to get out of her car. Crystal complied, believing that Toni would come back and get her, since she had no other way to get home. However, Toni sped off into the darkness and did not return. Crystal began calling her a few minutes later, but Toni never answered her phone.  Crystal eventually was able to get a ride home, but was very concerned and continued to call Toni, to no avail.

When Crystal got home at around 5:30 AM, she called Toni’s mother’s landline to make sure that Toni got home. She had not. Toni’s family wanted to wait to file a police report, but Crystal knew she was drunk driving, didn't have enough gas to get home without refueling, and could well be in trouble. She filed the missing persons report and the police began investigating and put her information into the database.

Toni’s last phone usage was on the drive to Gladwyne at around 3AM, when she texted her daughter. (Her daughter was unable to get to sleep) It is unknown if the phone was turned off or the battery ran out, but the phone did not ping and it was not used after that text.

About a week later, police in Camden, NJ (just across the river from Philadelphia) reported that they got a hit on her license plate on August 26. However, the car passed by an unmanned police car, so they had no way to track the car after that hit. Camden is a very crime-ridden city in New Jersey, and it is possible that Toni went there to get drugs. It is also possible that someone else was driving her car through the city. The Pontiac Grand Am was not seen after the sighting in Camden.

In January of 2013, police received an anonymous letter stating that Toni was killed after a fight with a Camden police officer, and the writer was paid $5,000 to drive the car to Boston. After he delivered the car to Boston, he claims he removed the license plate and recorded the VIN.  He did have the correct VIN, which adds some credibility to his account. What doesn’t make sense is why a police officer in Camden would be involved, as she would have been driving in Pennsylvania. If she had gotten pulled over for a DUI, that also would have likely occurred in Pennsylvania. Both Willie Green and Crystal Johns have fully cooperated with police and are not considered suspects.

Toni Lee Sharpless was born December 27, 1979 and was 5,5” and 135 pounds at the time of her disappearance. She has naturally brown hair and blue eyes. Her hair was dyed red. She takes medication for bipolar disorder, but it is now suspected she was not taking it, or she had a bad interaction from the medication and alcohol, which produced a manic episode.

Shaun MacDonald-McLaughlin

Shaun MacDonald-McLaughlin was 21 years old when he disappeared from Coquitlam, British Columbia, near Vancouver, on March 12, 2010. He was last seen by his roommate, and Shaun said he was heading to his mom's house. He never arrived.

Shaun was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2007, when he was a teenager. He had a loving, supportive family and they believed he was doing well and taking his medication. However, his ex-girlfriend told a different story. She claimed he called her 54 times while she was at work. When she returned the call, he said he needed her help. He needed her to bring rope, body bags, gasoline and lighter fluid to him. She realized he was suffering from delusions and said she could not help him. She did not notify his parents or police and after a few more unanswered call, he stopped calling her.

Since it is known that Shaun left on foot from a safe, densely populated area, it is unlikely he collapsed or died there. Interviews with people in "East Hasings", the homeless area of downtown Vancouver, also ruled out that he is living there.

After interviewing Shaun's friends, police confirmed that Shaun had stopped taking his prescribed medication and was instead taking Ketamine, a powerful sedative/tranquilizer used in anesthesia. It is one of the more dangerous street drugs, and it is concerning that Shaun was using this.

There is no indication that Shaun is dead. In fact, because the body has not been found, he had no known enemies, and he was not suicidal, it is more likely that he is indeed alive.

Shaun is described as 5’11” tall, weighing approximately 140 lbs. with brown eyes; when last seen, he had long brown hair and a full beard. His birthday is June 15, 1988, so he is now 26 years old.

Relisha Rudd

Warning: This one is a tough one. The best outcome for Relisha is that she is a victim of human trafficking. The other outcome is that she is no longer with us. There really are no other outcomes here, and for that I am sorry. This case leaves me angry and sad. So many people have failed this 8-year-old girl. I do hope she is alive, but if she is alive, this also means her life is a nightmare. Hopefully, someone will rescue her.

Relisha Rudd

Eight-year-old Relisha Rudd was never reported missing by her own family. Not by her mother,Shamika Young, nor her stepfather, Antonio Wheeler. Not even the staff at the homeless shelter, where her family lived for close to 18 months, called the police when she went missing.

The missing persons report was submitted by Child Protection, after being notified by her school that she had not attended school for a month. This family was not new to CPS. There had been three previous visits to this family, beginning in 2007. The worker at that time believed that Relisha may have been abused and that there was not enough food for Relisha and her younger brother. But nothing was done.

Social workers returned three years later, in 2010 to find evidence of “medical neglect,” a filthy home littered with trash, cigarette butts and ashes. Also found was evidence that small children were left unsupervised and allowed to bathe themselves. They report a failure to follow up on surgery for one of Relisha’s brothers. Again, nothing was done.

In November of 2013, Social workers found evidence that children were unsupervised and that one child had been thrown to the ground and slapped, causing a split lip. This occurred while the family was living at the homeless shelter. Guess what? Nothing was done.

On February 6, 2014, Shamika Young asks Kahlil Malik Tatum, a janitor at the homeless shelter, to take Relisha home with him. It is the last time she sees her daughter. Later that day, Tatum and Relisha are seen walking toward a room in a Holiday Inn Express in DC, side by side holding bags and entering a room. Below is that footage.

The last day Relisha is seen alive was March 1, 2014, and there have been no sightings of Relisha after that date. This is the last known photo of Relisha.

Last known photo of Relisha.

On March 13, 2014, a counselor at Relisha's school wrote a referral to the D.C. Child and Family Services Agency noting Relisha’s many absences. She missed more than 30 days, but officials say many were excused by her mother for illness, citing a “Dr. Tatum.” The school never checked to see if a "Dr Tatum" existed and it has not been released if notes were written on any sort of letterhead or script pad. (Tatum is the same name as the man last seen with Relisha)

On March 19, acting on the referral from the school, a social worker called Tatum and he agreed to a meeting at the shelter. However, he did not show up, so the social worker did some investigating and learned that Tatum has left his shift early that day. Relisha's mom is not concerned about Relisha's education and is also unable to account for her whereabouts.

That day, on the evidence presented by the social worker, the D.C. police launched a missing-person investigation. At 9:39PM., an officer calls Tatum’s cell, but it goes straight to voice mail and is never again reactivated. At 10:04PM., Tatum checks into a hotel in Oxton Hill, MD, about a half-hour away from DC. He is seen with four people, but none of them is Relisha. Less than an hour later, three people leave.

The next day, one person returns to the motel at 5:40 a.m. and sees Tatum’s wife, Andrea Tatum, lying on the bed. He is not allowed inside and calls the police. He tells the police that in the last month he helped Tatum do Internet searches for a handgun and downloaded images on an Apple iPad.

Khalil Tatum.

At 8:01, they learn Tatum might be driving a Chevrolet Trail Blazer. They find that vehicle abandoned at the hotel in Oxton Hill. Police went inside and found Andrea Tatum, 51, lying face down on a bed and shot once in the head. Police put out an alert for another vehicle, a white GMC truck, but it is quickly found abandoned in a neighboring city. Tatum is charged with murder in connection with the killing.

On March 27, the police got a tip that Tatum had purchased a shovel and large plastic contractor bags. He also spent a large amount of time in a DC park.  The police launched a search and recovery mission in that park, to no avail.

The police never picked up Tatum. He was found five days later in the same park, dead from a gunshot to the head. It has been ruled a suicide.

So the main suspect is dead, but this doesn't mean that Relisha is. Many things in this case point to human trafficking. The first thing is that her parents never reported her missing. The second is suddenly had money around the time she was given to Tatum. The stepfather had a new pair of Jordans, a new cell phone, and he posted photos of stacks of $50 bills in his mouth on social media. (This might not seem like much, but they had been living in a homeless shelter for over a year.) The police do believe that she is alive and her appearance may have been altered, maybe short or shaven hair to look like a boy. They also acknowledge that she could still be in DC or she could be anywhere across the country.

Human trafficking is a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States, with hubs in Maryland, Georgia, Illinois, Texas and California.  Though it is often associated with immigrants, the majority of sex trafficking victims in this country are U.S. citizens, with black women and girls making up about 40%. of those trafficked.

They are drugged and prostituted out so they are both highly controllable and afraid. Then they are kept hungry, so they will be even more controllable.  While it is hard to digest that an individual would prey on someone as young as Relisha,it does happen, and it is not just an outside possibility.
The important part is that there is no body, there is hope that she is still alive.

Her mother is in the process of being charged with obstruction of justice, but that is all right now. Until we have Relisha safe in our arms, there is so little the police and justice system can do. Hang in there, baby...we have not forgotten you.

The last time she was seen alive was on March 1st. She was born on Oct 29, 2005

Relisha  Rudd is 4 feet tall and weighs approximately 80 pounds.  She has black hair, black eyes and has a medium complexion.

Zebb Quinn

Zebb with his sister Brandi

Zebb Quinn was 18 when he disappeared from Asheville, NC on January 2, 2000. He was, by all accounts, a nice young man. He had no criminal or mental health history and had never been involved with drugs. He was laid-back and gentle. He did have a learning/organizational disability called "Scatter" that kept him a bit socially awkward. His mom claims he had "friends, but not good friends" due to his disability. His disability also may have led him to be manipulated more easily, and he lacked "street smarts".

At the time of his disappearance, he was working in the electronics department of Walmart and looking forward to his second semester at Asheville-Buncombe Technical College. He was well liked at Walmart and had been at the job for over two years at the time of his disappearance.

Zebb clocked out of his shift at 9PM on January 2 and left with a co-worker named (Robert) Jason Owens. They left in separate vehicles and were planning to head to a dealership to look at a car that Zebb had been saving up to buy. 

According to Jason,  they stopped at a gas station for sodas and headed out for the dealership. There is video of both men purchasing sodas at the gas station and leaving, with Zebb following Jason.

While they were barreling down a two lane road out of town, Zebb heard the sound of his pager. He then flashed his lights at Jason, indicating he wanted Jason to stop. Jason claimed that Zebb appeared frantic and asked to use Jason's cell phone. Jason told Zebb he did not have a cell phone and suggested a different gas station with a pay phone "just up the road." Jason claims that Zebb appeared to be frantic and concerned. Zebb promised to appear shortly and took off. When Zebb returned 15 minutes later, he was so agitated that he rear-ended Jason's truck. When Jason exited the truck, Zebb explained that he had gotten a page, he was very upset, and he wouldn't be able to go look at the car with him. He also said he would "settle up" with him later about the damage to his truck. He then raced off into the darkness.

Also that evening, Zebb's mother, Denise Vlahakis, was leaving her nursing shift. She was going to go get a late dinner with her fiancé and wanted to invite Zebb. She paged him and he did not respond. She paged him again about a half hour later, and he still did not respond, so they decided to go eat without him. When they arrived home a few hours later, Zebb was not home. They continued to page him every hour for the next 12 hours. Zebb was not rebellious and he always kept in touch. At 3PM on January 3, Denise filed a missing person's report. The police began investigating immediately.

On January 4, Zebb's supervisor at Walmart, Patty King, got a strange phone call. The person claimed to be Zebb and was calling in to say he was sick and wouldn't be at work. King, who knew Zebb was missing and had also been his supervisor for two years, questioned the caller and knew it was not Zebb calling in. She kept him on the line and then traced the call using *69. The call traced back to Volvo Construction Equipment. King called Zebb's mother about the call and she, in turn, called the police. Meanwhile, Zebb's fellow employees solve one piece of the puzzle-Jason Owens worked at Volvo Industries. 

When police went to talk to Jason he was indeed working at Volvo and did admit to making the phone call. He claimed that Zebb called him earlier that day, asking him to call in to work for him. He didn't know (or ask) why Zebb couldn't do it himself.

Upon further investigation, the police learned that Jason had called in late to work the morning after Zebb's disappearance. He claimed he had been in another car accident, and he had indeed been treated for a head injury and a broken rib. However, this accident was never reported to the police and his truck had minimal damage. Jason became a person of interest in Zebb's disappearance, but the police do not have enough evidence to charge him.

As police are interviewing people close to Zebb, they discovered Misty Taylor. Zebb had not known Misty for very long-they had met at a Christmas party at his mother's fiancé's restaurant. Zebb had become infatuated with her, but Mistly claimed they were just acquaintances. In reality, Zebb did have long telephone conversations with her and would gush about her. It was a few weeks into the relationship before she told Zebb that she had a baby and was in a relationship. Zebb pushed this information aside and continued to fixate on her. (This fixation can be partly explained by his learning disorder, but she was also the first girl he had been interested in) His infatuation did cloud his judgment to some degree, and he was spending money on her. According to Patty King, he had told her that her boyfriend, Wesley Smith, had discovered their relationship and seemed violent. King warned him to get away, and to find someone who was not so complicated.

On December 31, 1999, two days before Zebb's disappearance, Misty and Zebb both stayed in their respective homes and had a lengthy phone conversation. After that, however, there was no communication between them. Zebb had expressed concern and, on January 2, he called her. He forgot to hit *67 (which makes the caller anonymous or private) before calling her. His grandmother claimed he hung up the phone abruptly and said, "I am in trouble now."

Misty has a loose alibi for the night Zebb went missing. She was at home with her baby, Wesley, and her parents. She claims that Zebb's aunt, a woman named Ina Ustich, was there as well. Ina and Misty's mother-both employees at the restaurant where the Christmas party was held-claimed to be starting a restaurant together.

The page Zebb received the night he disappeared came from Ina Ustich's home phone. Ina is Zebb's father's sister, and Zebb had very little contact with her throughout her life. She claimed she had not paged Zebb and that she was with the Taylor family that night. There is no doubt the page came from her home phone.

On January 16, 2000-exactly two weeks after Zebb's disappearance, his mom Denise received a call while she was at work at the hospital. A co-worker and former high-school acquaintance of Jebb's noticed that his car was in a restaurant parking lot across the street from the hospital.

Zedd's car was parked as if meant to be found.  Inside the car was a live, 3 month-old lab-mix puppy and a hotel key card. On the rear window was a lipstick drawing of a set of lips. The headlights were on and the windows were cracked. Police speculated that the way the car was parked and the live puppy were meant to draw attention to the car. Police were not able to determine where the puppy came from. (Note: the puppy, named Katie, was taken home and adopted by an investigating officer). The hotel key card did not have a logo, and despite days of checking hotels and motels in the area, it remains a mystery.

Meanwhile, Ina Ustich began claiming that her house was broken into the night of Zebb's disappearance. She claimed that nothing was stolen, but "framed pictures had been moved." She later denied ever telling the police this story. She then packed up and moved to a job in Tennessee.

In the fall of 2007, Jason Owens led police on a high speed chase which involved him shooting at the police. He was eventually convicted of eluding arrest and sentenced to four years. While he was in jail, the police interviewed him numerous times, but he has refused to discuss the case. Jason, Ina, Misty and Wesley are all considered persons of interest in Zebb's disappearance.

Someone out there knows what happened to Zebb that night, and who was involved with his disappearance. A local non-profit agency, Families Pursuing Justice, is offering a $2,500 Reward for information leading to locating Zebb.

Zebb was born May 12, 1981 and is 5'9" and was around 160 pounds at the time of his disappearance. He has brown hair and blue eyes. Although he is presumed dead, it would give his family closure if this case could be solved.

Brandy Hall

Undated Brandy Hall photo

Brandy Hall, 32, was a firefighter, wife and mother of two when she disappeared on August 17, 2006 from the Central Florida town of Malabar.

I feel badly about going into Brandy’s past as much as I am going to, but her past might hold clues to her disappearance. In fact, I think there are clues in her past.

Brandy almost died as a child in a three-wheeler accident. She had extensive surgeries on her face and had chronic pain for the rest of her life. However, she was a tough kid and grew up to be an excellent firefighter, which she loved doing.  She married Jeffrey Hall, who was the fire chief, and they had two children, Taylor and Clayton.  She and Jeffrey both worked the same shift, so their kids could stay with her parents. By all accounts, up until July, 2005, she was very happy in her job and marriage.

Then, in July of 2005, her husband Jeffrey and another firefighter were arrested for growing and selling marijuana on the Hall property in Palm Bay, FL.  The men had a fairly small scale operation (no cartels or drug running was going on) although they reportedly netted $30,000 every two months for over a year. Although Brandy knew nothing of the operation, the land was in both of their names so she was arrested and charged as well.  All charges against Brandy were dropped, and despite her accolades and perfect record as a firefighter for ten years, she was fired from her job in Palm Bay.

This did throw Brandy into a slight tailspin. Along with losing her job and now sole source of income, she also had to find a new firefighting job or she would lose all of her credentials. So, she worked doing home repairs for a friend of hers and volunteered with the Malabar Fire Department to keep her credentials while she appealed her termination with Palm Bay. 

She remained supportive of her husband, who was out on bail, but she also began to have an affair with a district chief firefighter, Randal Richmond.  Richmond’s wife, Anne-Marie, allegedly confronted Brandy six months before her disappearance during a community festival and Brandy had mentioned it to her best friend. However, it is not known whether the affair continued up to the time of Brandy’s disappearance.

On the night of Brandy’s disappearance, she complained of stomach pains and left her shift at the fire station at 10:45PM instead of working the full overnight shift. Video from the fire house shows that Brandy was relaxed and left alone. Outside surveillance shows that Brandy got into her truck alone and no one followed her out. She was scheduled to testify on her husband’s behalf in court the next day and she told her co-workers that she planned to go home.

Jeffrey did not expect her home until early morning, so he did not become concerned until it was time to bring the kids to school and she was still not home. He continuously tried to call Brandy, but she didn’t answer and her voicemail was full. He hurried the kids to school and then drove, alone,  an hour to the courthouse. He kept trying to call Brandy, and finally decided that maybe she went to court ahead of him. When he arrived at court and Brandy was not there, he started to panic. He went to court and was sentenced to 18 months in prison and then probation. He claimed he barely heard the judge because he was so worried about Brandy. His family left the court and immediately went to retrieve the kids and file a missing person’s report. Jeffrey finally was able to make a call and he got in touch with his mother, who informed him of that Brandy was not found.

The police immediately began an investigation. Her last phone call was made at 10:53PM, to Randal Richmond. When he was questioned, he told police that Brandy was calling from a gas station.  She told him she planned to leave and “get away from everything.” However, no one remembers her truck idling at the service station and her debit and credit cards had not been used since the day before.  Although there is overwhelming evidence that she did not leave by her own volition, Richmond insists this is what happened.  

  The next day, her truck was found submerged in a small, local pond. Brandy’s body was not in the truck, and neither was her gun, which she always carried with her. What was found was a substantial amount of Brandy’s blood, though not enough to prove she was dead. Also in the truck was her firefighting equipment and a small cooler filled with soda and beer, which were still cold.  Over the next week, the small pond was completely drained, and neither the body nor gun was found. The police, at this point, also suspected suicide or stranger abduction were unlikely.

In July, 2007, a backpack containing Brandy’s personal belongings was found in a canal in western Indian River County, FL. This is about twenty minutes from where her truck was found, and there is no river that leads between the two bodies of water. The backpack contained her day planner and a few items of clothing, but not enough for longer than one night. Also notably missing from the backpack were her prescription painkillers, which she used daily to control pain from her childhood accident. The gun was also not in the backpack.

Jeffrey Hall has been eliminated as a suspect. He has been released from prison and is currently raising their children in Florida.

Brandy Hall was born September  13, 1973. She has blonde hair, blue eyes, and is 5’7 and weighed around 140 pounds at the time of her disappearance. She has a pierced tongue and naval, and she has two tattoos-a fishing scene on her lower back and a Tweety bird by a fire hydrant on her ankle.

Her children are now teenagers. Her youngest child asks every day if they are still looking for his mom.
