I just checked (again) the Social Security Death Index to see if Sylvia is listed, and she is not. That means, I think, that either her brother still has not applied to have her declared dead, or that she didn't have a social security number. At that time, you didn't have to have a SS number as a baby in order to be listed as a dependent on your parents' tax return. But I think I got mine when I wanted to get my driver's license, which I believe she had. And of course, you'd need one in order to work a job that wasn't off the books. So I am sure she had one. My question is, why wouldn't she have been considered deceased by now? Anybody have any ideas? Would the police have waved her brother off of this action? Would they even have any say in it? And is there a good reason not to?
