**If you have been a victim of a crime, there may be help available to you. Check out the Office for Victims of Crime to see if you're eligible for their services.**

On July 26, 1992, 22-year-old Brenda Gail Lambert hosted a birthday party at her home in Bluewell, West Virginia. It was her youngest child’s first birthday, and the house was filled with family—including Brenda’s estranged husband, Raymond.

As the night wore on, tensions rose and guests began to leave. Hours later, Raymond showed up at Brenda’s sister’s door, visibly shaken, saying he couldn’t find Brenda.

She was never seen or heard from again.

More than three decades have passed, and Brenda has never been found. But her family is still searching—and they believe they know what happened to her, and where she might be.

Brenda Gail Lambert was last seen on July 26, 1992, at her home off Route 7, also known as Windmill Hill Road, in Bluewell, West Virginia. She was 5’2” and weighed around 110 pounds. Brenda had shoulder-length black curly hair and dark blue eyes.

If you have any information about Brenda’s disappearance, please contact the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office at (304) 487-8364.
