Anna Turning is an Associate Producer with Dateline NBC.
THE NIGHT OF NOVEMBER 13th On the evening of November 13, 1980, 17-year-old Deborah Ann Brooks -- who was called “Missy” by her family -- left her home in Northeast Washington, D.C., to go to the pharmacy a few blocks away. Deborah’s brother Paul Brooks told Dateline he remembers that night like it was yesterday. “We were in a living room, my mother just come home from work, it was almost 7:00 o’clock or 7:30,” Paul said.
“The family kind of came together — my aunt -- my mother’s sister, folks in the neighborhood. And they came and, kind of, comforted us because, you know, this is the first time our neighborhood had gone through something like this, and it was very traumatic,” Paul said. A GRUESOME DISCOVERY The next day after Deborah was reported missing, the family’s worst nightmare came true. “That’s when they found her body -- in the state of Maryland,” Paul said.
