Brenda Condon, 28, disappeared after finishing a shift as a bartender at Carl’s Bad Tavern in Spring Township, near Bellefonte, on the night of February 27, 1991. Patrons last saw her at about 12:45 AM; she was scheduled to close and return for the morning shift. When another employee arrived later, the tavern was unlocked and empty. Brenda’s gray Mercury Capri remained parked outside, her purse and car keys were missing, and her cowboy boots were found neatly placed in the men’s restroom. There were no signs of a struggle or robbery and receipts were put away.

Friends and family say Brenda was dependable and devoted to her two children; she failed to show up for a scheduled visit on March 2, prompting the official missing persons investigation. Police released composite sketches of three unidentified male patrons seen at the bar that night but those men have not been identified and the case has grown cold. The Pennsylvania State Police are offering a reward for information that could explain what happened.
