Norine Brown left her New Hyde Park, Long Island home around 11:00 p.m. on December 13, 1990, to go to the store to buy supplies to make cookies. The 32-year-old mother of two never returned. According to Norine’s friend Elaine Comando, Norine’s husband, John, called her on December 13, 1990, and asked her to drive by the local Pathmark. Elaine found Norine’s car in the parking lot. It was locked and there were Christmas presents, wrapped, in the back. Elaine told Dateline that John called police and they took down a missing persons report which began their investigation. John Brown told
News 12 Long Island that he believes his wife was murdered and has denied having anything to with his wife’s disappearance. No persons of interest or suspects have been named in the case. Dateline reached out to Nassau County Police in November 2022 for an update, but has not yet received a response. You can follow Norine’s case on the ‘
