Brenda Crowley
I have been searching for 22.5yrs for my sister Brenda. Disappeared age 16 from USA. Have Been searching every country too. Our family ancesters have originally come from cork Ireland.

<LI class=pageText>Date Of Birth: October 5, 1963 <LI class=pageText>Missing from Staten Island New York since March 1980 <LI class=pageText>Age at Time of Disappearance: 16 years old <LI class=pageText>Height and Weight at Time of Disappearance: 5'4"-5'6" (163-168 cm.); 110-130 lbs. (50-59 kg.)

Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian. Dark blonde, straight hair; blue/green eyes that sometimes appear hazel. Brenda may also wear glasses/contacts due to a slight cross in her left eye. Her teeth has some crowding. Brenda has a small scar on her nose. Her blood type is O+, but A +/- cannot be ruled out. She had a fractured arm when she was 5-6 years old. Her mother did not report her missing at the time something that was only discovered when the mother was murdered in March 1981. Sadly New York Police Dept would not allow them file a missing report at that time.

Police dug up a backyard in East Islip, L.I., yesterday, in search of the remains of a Staten Island girl who went missing 27 years ago, law enforcement sources told the Advance. (All they found was dog bones)

...Miss Crowley was last seen in May 1980 at 116 Harbor Rd., a private house in Mariners Harbor that later burned down.

The daughter of a mother who gave birth to eight children from three different men, Brenda had already disappeared from Curtis High School, which in February 1980 expelled her as AWOL, when she went missing.

There was also an outstanding "PINS" (person in need of supervision) warrant issued for Brenda's arrest in Family Court.

"Every single one of us ran away," Dorothy Schall, Brenda's sister, told the Advance in 1995. "Everyone came back except Brenda. Brenda is nowhere to be found."

Brenda's mother, Theresa Crawley (she used an "a" where her kids were given an "o" in Crowley), told Ms. Schall a missing persons report had been filed with police.

But Ms. Schall later learned that her mother lied about the missing person's report, so she filed her own report with the Department's Missing Persons Squad in Manhattan.

On March 8, 1981, nearly a year after her 16-year-old daughter disappeared, Theresa Crawley was found strangled to death at a Castleton Corners intersection. (Theresa Crawley was the Mother and a man who knew her from a local bar was arrested for manslaughter in her case)...

She was found 2 years after Brenda was reported missing. And while the height is a little shorter than Brenda was described, the nose looks very similar to me. And a lot of her other stats seem like a possible match. Any thoughts?

I've e-mailed her sister. But I wanted to put it here too, in case someone knows if she was ever looked into. Thanks!

ETA: The picture below shows the unidentified person in the middle, and the other two are of Brenda.

I am curious to see if they have tried to get a credit report on her (you know, those annoying commercials with that singer.) If they could do it they may get an idea of what she has been up to for the past few years.
