Judith Anne Brown was 19 and living in Queens when she was last seen on April 6, 1977. She had been receiving outpatient mental health care after a brief admission to Creedmoor Psychiatric Center the year before. At Creedmoor she met Richard E. Reisenberg, a patient who had been found not guilty by reason of insanity in the 1971 murders of his wife and son.

On the day Judith disappeared she left with Reisenberg and the two were last seen together. Authorities believed Judith left willingly, but Reisenberg’s history of violence and reports that he spent unauthorized time outside the facility made her safety a major concern. Judith called family briefly after she vanished, then was never heard from again. Investigators tracked Reisenberg to various states but neither he nor Judith has been located. The family continues to seek answers.

Does anyone have information about Judith’s movements in April 1977 or about Reisenberg after he left New York?
