Brenda Lee Bridges, 29, was last seen on August 16, 1997, in Tampa, Florida. Witnesses observed her getting into a white van at the intersection of Nebraska Avenue and Skipper Road; she never returned to her apartment on Carmen Court and has not been heard from since. At the time she worked for a cleaning service and maintained regular contact with her two children, which made this prolonged disappearance out of character.

Brenda is described as 5 feet 3 inches tall, 135 pounds, with blonde hair, blue eyes and a distinctive scar on her abdomen. Authorities have treated the case as a potential abduction, but very few additional details have been released and the investigation remains open.

If anyone knew Brenda, saw her in Tampa on or after August 16, 1997, or has information about a white van seen near Nebraska Avenue and Skipper Road that day, please contact the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
