'Now, Shirly Brant's case is getting a fresh set of eyes on it thanks to two detectives who came out of retirement to help solve more cold cases.
Newspapers described Brant as "remarkably attractive" and a "former professional singer turned real estate agent," but for those that knew her, her favorite titles were "mom," "loving wife" and "tireless advocate for the Jewish community."
On June 13, 1986, Brant, 49, was working in her real estate office when she was shot to death in what police believed was an attempted robbery.
"At that time, Shirley was actually on the phone with a friend and she began to scream," said Detective Pamela Denham of the North Miami Police Department. "One of the Black males attempted to grab the phone at which time a gun went off and she was shot."
"The description that they had given was a Black male, approximately six feet tall, thin build, with low cropped hair," Denham said. "The thing that was unusual about this is that both subjects were 'nicely dressed.''
'DNA technology could also be a key factor in solving the case.
"We have submitted some evidence," Denham said.'
