Phyllis Brewer, known to some as Sparky, was 19 when she disappeared from Lowellville, Ohio. On June 13, 1981, she reportedly left her home on North Hubbard Road for a walk and was never seen or heard from again. She was described as a white female, about 5 feet 6 inches and 130 pounds, with shoulder-length straight strawberry blonde or red hair parted in the center, long bangs and a scar on one hand. Only her bra size is recorded among clothing details.

No missing person report was filed at the time; the disappearance did not come to official attention until 2014 after her sister died, when the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation. Investigators face limits: all of Phyllis’s immediate family members are deceased, tips have been few and none have produced results since 2019, and puzzling court records show a person named Phyllis Brewer had contact with Conneaut police in 1982, raising questions about timing or identity. Anyone who knew Phyllis, lived in Lowellville or Conneaut in 1981, or has information is asked to come forward.
