Charlotte Elaine Brown was 29 when she was last seen in Cleveland, Ohio, on April 5, 1973. A friend dropped her at the Rapid Transit Station on 55th Avenue; she wore a grey sweater, blue jeans and a red waist-length jacket and was carrying a black purse. After that moment she was never seen or heard from again.

Charlotte was a mother of three and her disappearance was out of character, leaving family and investigators with few leads. The case went cold as time passed and no charges were filed. Her husband, Morris Albert Brown, had an earlier family tragedy: his first wife, Darcy Brown, disappeared in 1964 after an incident witnesses said involved Morris stabbing her. Darcy’s body was never found and no charges were brought then either. Morris Brown later died.

Charlotte’s disappearance remains unresolved. If anyone knew Charlotte, her movements that day, or has information about the Browns, please come forward.
