Bumping. Somebody somewhere has to know something!

I am her ex sister in law. Knowing this family like I do I can assure you the custody case had nothing to do with her disappearance. I can't tell you much more as I have been divorced from her brother for a long time and only know what the public knows.
Ten years after Bambi Madden walked out of her Winding Way residence in Binghamton to pick up beer at a convenience store, family members are still waiting for her to return home.
"The family has really never given up on her," said Amanda Barry, a Binghamton resident and Madden's sister. "We may never find Bambi ... but we deserve to find out what happened."
Bumping for Bambi. I was going to attend her vigil again this year but a family emergency came up & sadly, I was unable to attend.
I do have a question about the details of her disappearance. Bambi's vigil is always held at the One Stop, which is close to Winding Way. But her details say that she was headed to the Hess on Main Street. The One Stop is closer so I was wondering why she didn't go there or are the details of where she was headed wrong? As I said before, I don't think her family has anything to do with this, even in light of the upcoming court date for the petition of her grandchild.
I once spoke with somebody who works for the Sheriff's Department (can't remember his name or position in the department) that says he knows what happened to her; that she was killed over a drug/prostitute type situation which I don't believe for one second. It just doesn't make sense. That goes to show that they have already formed their opinion & don't feel the need to investigate further. It really sucks & it's unfair & they should be doing more to investigate. Her family is always trying to keep her case front & center but the police don't seem to care at all.
I know it's a long shot but I sometimes search the NAMUS database. There was skeletal remains found in March of last year in Suffolk County, NY. There hasn't been any matches yet. It says the dental are complete but the DNA is pending. Would it be stupid to email the County Medical Examiner to ask about a possible match?
Here is a link to the case report for the Suffolk County remains: https://identifyus.org/en/cases/full_report/13776
Even now, sometimes Jackie Fiske catches a glimpse of just-so-blonde hair on a woman in a crowd or on a sidewalk, and it stops her cold.
Maybe, just maybe, this time it's her.
Jackie's big sister.
Bambi.
They were born two years apart, best friends with a knack for seeing each other's point of view on nearly anything. They loved listening to classic rock, passing the evening in the company of family. They had the same shade of hair.
Jackie is 42 now.
Her sister if she is alive is 44.
Bambi's is a "cold case," according to Binghamton Police Capt. Jack Collins, interviewed in the days after the 10-year anniversary of her disappearance. Such a designation isn't tied to how much time has elapsed since an incident occurred, but to whether a case can be pursued without new evidence being discovered.
This disappearance, Collins says, has long vexed investigators. No crime scene. No suspects. No body.
"It becomes a cold case when you've exhausted all your investigative leads and you have nothing else to go on," Collins says.
I don't think it would be stupid. There is always that chance. If you like I can message my ex on Facebook and see if they are aware of this. I don't think he gets on Facebook too often so I'm not sure how long it would take to get a reply. They also have a Facebook for Bambi, if you want to send a friend request and then PM them the info to see if they are aware of it.
A well-done article here; hoping her family can receive answers soon.
Vanished: What really happened to Bambi Madden?
http://www.wbng.com/news/local/Fami...ay-of-missing-Binghamton-woman-383885711.htmlThe friends and family gathered to celebrate the birthday of a loved one who has been missing for over a decade.
Tuesday, several of those close to Bambi Madden gathered in Otsiningo Park to celebrate her birthday.
Bambi Madden has been missing for 11 years, and her family members say they are still seeking to learn what happened to her.
The 43-year-old Binghamton woman's family is organizing their annual candlelight vigil Jan. 11 the anniversary of her disappearance at the American Legion, 1 Grace St., in Binghamton. Members of Madden's family say the community is encouraged to attend the vigil, which will take place at 7 p.m.
