Her mother, Nora Mann, last saw her on December 1, 1975. After that, Michelle’s father, Charles Bryant (now deceased), said they moved to New Jersey to live with family and later to Norfolk, where she was reportedly left in the care of a friend of his named Anita Hartison while he moved to Richmond.

Bryant told investigators the last sighting of Michelle was when she was 16 and living in Norfolk, reportedly dating sailors. The Connecticut State Police Central District Major Crime unit lists an official date of last contact as January 1, 1991, but that appears to be an estimate. Much of what is known about Michelle’s movements after 1975 comes from her father, and key dates and locations remain vague or unconfirmed.

Does anyone have memories of Michelle, Anita Hartison, or contacts in Norfolk or New Jersey from that period who could help clarify her whereabouts?
