The Disappearance of Brandy Myers (13)- Pheonix, Arizona- 26th May 1992

The Disappearance of Brandy Myers (13)- Pheonix, Arizona- 26th May 1992

Brandy Myers was a 6th class student at Sunnyslope Elementary School and resided in a second-floor flat with her family in a region that was understood to be completely safe. Children of the community always played together. Brandy is characterized as a beautiful girl by her sister Kristin, who tells "she was just my decent friend."

 On 26th May 1992, the sisters were being watched by a babysitter while their mama was at her job. Brandy and Kristin had schedules that day of moving door to door collecting pacts for Brandy's school readathon fundraiser. However, Kristin backed out last minute so she could go with a class fellow instead. As Brandy left the residence, Kristin saw from the terrace, with an uncomfortable feeling in her gut, as her sister stepped down the road and out of the picture. Hours passed and she still hadn't come back home. The babysitter thought she would be home before the girls' mama returned home. 

When their mum got home and saw that Brandy yet wasn't home, she took out to look for her before phoning the authority to report her missing. Disappearances weren't common in the region so authority took this very seriously, taping off the building, taking in sniffer dogs, and also had choppers searching from the air. A lockdown was also prompted, with kids not being allowed to walk home lonely, as well as a friend system just to go to the bathroom. Hundreds of boys joined the search actions, which lasted weeks. They searched every place, from the mounts to desert areas, but couldn't discover Brandy. 

In November 1992, the decapitated corpse of 22-year-old Angela Brosso was discovered. She had taken off for a bike ride on November 8th and hadn't come back. 11 days after her corpse was discovered, police discovered her head in a ditch. A year then passed and Brandy still hadn't been discovered. Her parents rejected to think that damage had come her way, with her mama telling, "She's so beautiful, too caring, and willing to do anything to make you glad. Maybe she was carried by someone who believed they wanted her more than I do. She could be with a family."

In September 1993, while still searching for Brandy, police discovered the corpse of 17-year-old Melanie Bernas in the canal. Like Angela, she had taken off on a bike ride the day before and hadn't come back. Both Angela and Melanie were discovered to have been sexually attacked, with DNA on them being verified as belonging to one man. DNA testing was sadly not very developed at that time, so the actual identity of the man couldn't be verified. The DNA samples were stocked for later referral and Brandy, Melanie, and Angela's murder cases went cold... Until 2014, when a genealogist looked at the DNA samples and discovered through parental origin using the 'Y' Chromosome, that the murderer of Angela and Melanie had the last name, Miller. In a conclusion, police looked through their list of POI's from the region at the time and discovered Brian Patrick Miller listed. His DNA was tested and came back as a match. 

Brian had been difficult and weird throughout his life, even doing a stint in a juvenile custody center at 15. Then, in 1990, while stepping an 18-year-old neighbor to work, he unexpectedly assaulted and injured her, which got him back in the Juvenile custody center until he turned 18.

During his adult years, he was very well understood in town as being strange, due to his addiction to zombies. He had a zombie car and zombie warrior costume and would drive around thinking he was a zombie murderer. He even took images with authority, with his normal zombie gear, in a period where he had already committed the killing. 

He was caught on 13 January 2015 and charged with two counts each of killing, abduction, and sexual attack. His ex-wife discovered out and reached out to the authority to tell them of disgusting things she understood about him. She disclosed that he was a sadist who progressively came to be more brutal, even using knives during intercourse. He warned her once "if I didn't love you so much, I'd kill you", before cutting her hair off "in a spot of her throat." Panic sunk in for her when facts released about the killings matched stories that Brian had warned her during their wedding. Initially, she had believed they were just disgusting fantasies of Brian's. One story she remembers him saying was about a disabled girl who came knocking on the gate one day. Brandy had some brain damage. He said it was an excellent chance to act on his impulsions, so grabbed her into his house where he repeatedly injured her. In the story, he told he kept her corpse in a bathtub filled with cold water until she started to decompose and he had to cut her corpse up and leave it out in the garbage to be collected the next day. 

Two observers also placed Brandy on the way towards Brians's home. She had knocked on their entrances that day. One of them was Kristin's buddy, who resided two doors down from Brian. The family had seen Brandy step to the next house before they took off back inside. They weren't seeing when Brandy knocked on Brian's door. Authority requested the court convict Brian for first-degree killing, after thinking there was sufficient physical and circumstantial proof, but the court rejected the request, noting that there was clearly not enough information without a corpse. 

Kristin has since made it her life goal to protest for justice for her sister Brandy. To battle for her case to be upgraded to a killing case and for Brandy's name to be put in to Brian's list of charges. There is little possibility that the DA will sentence him without Brandy's corpse, so Kristin has become Brandy's voice, on a goal to raise public heat and stress on the DA office.
