0:00.0 | Brenda Louise Cundin was a 28-year-old from State College, Pennsylvania. She was a divorced mother |
0:06.3 | of two and had her own business. In the early morning hours of February 27, 1991 in Belfont, |
0:14.0 | Brenda was the lone bartender at a place where she had just gotten part-time work. |
0:19.2 | When employees came in the next day, the bar was unlocked. Her car was still there, |
0:25.5 | but there were no signs of Brenda. She was never seen again. |
0:32.0 | I'm a dancer, and this is unfound. |
1:03.0 | During the previous year, all of us, we in the United States and you, wherever you are, |
1:11.6 | have really gotten to know what it's like to be by ourselves, or at least around a lot fewer people, |
1:18.4 | either by choice or by force, due to COVID-19. And as many reports and studies have shown, |

2:15.5 | its health benefits as well. Well, in the disappearance of Brenda Condon, |
2:21.2 | she had to work the night shift and then close up at 2 a.m., all by herself. |
2:27.0 | Then she was gone. And we're left to figure out who caused Brenda's disappearance, |
2:33.5 | due to her being left alone. And now a summary of the case, this is brought to you by my friend |
2:41.7 | Megan Good's website, Charlieproject.org. Brenda Condon lived a lot in her 28 years. |
2:50.8 | Her mother died when she was very young. So her older sister kind of became her mother. |
2:57.2 | Brenda then got married at the age of 16 to a guy 10 years older. They had two children. |
