Colleen Brooks was last seen on August 30, 1986, in the Bronx, New York. She was 76 at the time and described as Black / African American, 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 115 pounds, with graying hair, brown eyes and a scar near her right eyebrow. That day she was reportedly wearing a tan and white striped jacket, a beige and pink two-piece floral dress, blue flat shoes, brown stockings, a black wig, and carrying a black purse; she was also said to be wearing a white gold diamond engagement ring.

Very little is publicly known about the circumstances of her disappearance. The NYPD Missing Persons Squad holds the file; the case entry simply notes she was last seen in 1986 in the Bronx. Her case was added to the NamUs database in May 2020, but no further detail about what happened that day has been released.

If anyone remembers Colleen, saw her on or around August 30, 1986, or has information that could help locate her, please come forward.
