Time to bump again for Brenda, today is her birthday.
Hey, everyone. Not really sure how to get started here. I'm Lizzi, and I want to make some headway on this situation for my aunt.
Brenda is the baby sister of my Aunt Dorothy. Their sister Ruthann recently passed away and it has brought Brenda back to the forefront of my mind pretty hard (she was missing a few years before I was born, so I have never met her obviously). Dar has been only of the only people in my life to really "get" me and we have a bond that has always transcended any family drama (and we are people from SI. There is plenty. Ha). This is something that has always eaten at her and I want to see it fixed before she is gone.
I see there hasn't been much activity here, but if someone can get me started on how I can track down information on the links given here, I would be more than willing to start doing some legwork on anything that has been found. Just need to know a good jumping off point - I'm new at this. I can always ask Dar for any other information that isn't already here, although I don't think there is anything that she knows that is any "newer" than the situation when it happened.
I have been considering getting her a DNA kit, because perhaps her DNA can lead us to Brenda - if Brenda is still alive maybe she has done her DNA, or her possible kids/grandkids have, right?
I'm off to dig into how to start scouring Missing Persons cases and Unidentified persons and so on. I've got decades of watching it done in documentaries and series and everything else. Time to see if its been for any use.
Its time to find Aunt Brenda and bring her home.
I think the key is to find out if she was actually missing from Staten Island or Long Island.
But news articles said that a family member of Brenda's gave police a tip to look on that property...
The first scream that came out of my mouth when I saw the morgue photo (being 100% serious here) was "Oh my God, that's Brenda Crowley!"

It's her!

I see the resemblance. According to the Doe Network they both have DNA available. They’re not excluded in NamUs though. I say it’s worth submitting!The first scream that came out of my mouth when I saw the morgue photo (being 100% serious here) was "Oh my God, that's Brenda Crowley!"

I flipped the other PM photo and looking at their profiles they look very similar to me!Thank you Bagpus for the blow-up. Brenda and the JD look so close. But the nose...it's just quite a bit off. Brenda's nose is quite a bit thicker than JDs. I really wish it was her, but really, I can't say that it is now. They so look like they could be sisters.
