Thanks for your reply. One of the things that strikes me is if the official high school picture of Deborah is actually even her. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation site admits, they have little information about the case. Where did they get the photo?tell me if I'm wrong, doesn't this woman's face look like Deborah's if her mouth were closed in that school photo? Her eyebrows look similar as well IMO. Anyone good with faces that can tell if this is close? Here is the Ancestry.com page I found this on. This is Marlow High School in 1971 - "Debbie Brown".
Also, I am not finding anything on a Deborah being married around 1972-81ish to anyone named Farmer, in OK. I would like to know the father of her son first, did they end up getting married? Did he see the child at all?
Again, I an a bit bothered that none of the reports bother to even mention what town or city she was reported missing from. (my best guess is Midwest city as one of the reports state that she lived there)
The Deborah **** Farmer that is listed on Classmates.com, seems to list a maiden name, that is in the Midwest City '72 year book as a sophmore. That would likely mean she graduated in '74 and if born in '55, she would have been 19. Perhaps she was delayed in HS because she had become pregnant and dropped out to have the child, and then returned to get through HS.
I admit the the girl in the MWC yearbook (with the annotated name of Classmates.com) does not look like the HS photo, but again, do we even know the source of that? What was the source of the two known photos associated with the case listing? We don't know. Did she have any living family? Who reported her missing? What is the story on the two divergent dates reported for her disappearance? Did she actually disappear on the 27th or June 1st?
Unless either the original Missing persons report is missing or so poorly done as to offer no information, we may never know. There is so little to go on, the reports do not even list a maiden name or DOB. .
I tried to access the Ancestory.com page you reference, and even though I have a log in code there, was never able to get past the adverts. Can you share a bit more detail about the information on that page?
When I was looking into this early this morning I did not look into Debbie Brown as I was chasing the whole "Willis" and/or "Farmer" angle, but will look at it this evening. I did notice however, the associated supposed Senior picture did not appear in the '72 Marlow yearbook under any name. I did also notice that there was a younger classmate under the name of Willis in '72, maybe a younger brother?Again, who knows at this point.
I notice that photo looks more like a classic 60's high school Senior photo, as opposed to a 70's photo. I cannot really quantify that statement, but the blond version photo seems to have more of a 60's vibe. (Actually, I think I can, the Hairdo. The Dread Boffant style hairdo was a 60's thing. Almost no one has one in the early 70's.) Maybe I was just suffering from lack of sleep this morning, but who knows.
This should be renamed the infamous "Rabbit hole case." as about the only thing we know is almost nothing.
