Summary

On May 26, 1992, 13-year-old Brandy Myers was collecting pledges for her school’s Read-A-Thon in her Phoenix, Arizona neighborhood. She didn’t return, and soon a search commenced. Though the body of a young girl was found two days later— it wasn’t Brandy’s. It was then that police realized something larger may have been going on in this neighborhood near the Central Arizona Project Canal. Over the next year, two more bodies appeared, though no sign of Brandy ever turned up. This mystery would span the next two decades until cold case detectives made a huge break. Now, Brandy’s sister, Kristin Thelen, is fighting every day to bring justice to her big sister and the other young women and girls who all may have been targeted by the same serial killer.For a full list of our sources, along with photos and videos, please visit our blog at AndThenTheyWereGone.com.Sources: Sisters of missing Arizona children find friendship, fight for justice Brandy Lynn Myers – The Charley Project Justice for Brandy Myers - Home 1992 slaying victim identified, exhumed from Tempe cemetery | East Valley Local News | eastvalleytribune.com Medical examiners' dream: Identifying all victims | East Valley Local News | eastvalleytribune.com Brandy Myers And The Canal Killer...

0:00.0	To me, one of the worst parts of elementary school was when they would try to make us sell
0:07.1	things for fundraisers.
0:08.9	It seemed like it was always nuts or wrapping paper, like nothing that anyone really wanted to
0:14.6	buy at some insanely marked up price.
0:17.7	So when it was time, usually around Christmas, I would put in like the bare minimum
0:23.5	amount of effort and basically get my mom and a few of her coworkers to buy some things.
0:28.9	But the more industrious among us would go door to door to try to sell these items to neighbors.
0:35.9	And that's what 13 year old Brandy Myers was doing in her
0:39.4	Phoenix, Arizona neighborhood on May 26, 1992. But while she set off that evening full of

1:30.3	And then they were gone. The The All right, so did you ever have to sell things when you were a kid?
1:52.5	So I remember getting all of the, like, the flyers.
1:56.0	The flyers, yeah.
1:57.8	But I don't believe we ever actually did anything with it. Growing up, my family was very poor, so I don't think any of us actually purchased anything. And I don't remember selling anything.
