Barbara Zakon was 50 when she vanished from Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, in the winter of 1984. She was last seen the afternoon of December 22 near East 12th Street and Kings Highway after leaving her home on East 10th Street and was never heard from again. Authorities classified her as an endangered missing person because she managed diabetes and had a history of psychiatric conditions for which she was taking Lithium.

A Holocaust survivor originally from Poland, Zakon spoke English, Polish, and Yiddish and had a concentration camp tattoo on her left forearm. She was described as a white female with brown hair and brown eyes, with a mole on the left side of her nose and another on the right side of her face. She was known to sometimes use the surnames Breindel or Kazman and was believed to have been wearing a dark-colored stocking cap when she disappeared.

The NYPD has kept her file open but few details or leads have emerged since 1984. Does anyone have memories of Barbara, knew her by the names Breindel or Kazman, or have information about her movements that day?
