When an Atlantic City New Jersey woman vanishes, her remains are found a month later, along with those of three other women.

Investigators are still working to identify the Atlantic City serial killer nearly 20 years later in this episode of Last Seen Alive.

I'm your host, Leah, crime analyst by day, and Drew Crime Storyteller by

night. And as always, I'm your co-host, Scott. Barbara Brydor was last seen alive on October 17th, 2006.

She was 42 years old at the time and living in Atlantic City, New Jersey. She'd grown up just an

hour and a half's drive away in Huntington Valley, Pennsylvania.

As a kid, her family would often visit Atlantic City, and as an adult, she decided to make it her home.

She got a job as a cocktail waitress at one of the city's many casinos, and also worked for her mom,

who owned a retail boutique business. They had a storefront on the boardwalk which Barbara managed. For a while,

all seemed to be going well, which was no surprise to anyone who knew Barbara. Growing up as the oldest of four

siblings in a respected, solidly middle class family, she'd been one of those kids who everyone knew

was destined for a bright future. Her dad was a school counselor and her mom, a devoted parent

and homemaker, until her kids got older, at which point she started the business that I just

mentioned. Barbara was intelligent and funny and was known for her uncanny talent for trivia,

especially Jeopardy. She could often answer the questions just as well as the contestants,

if not better, and her parents and siblings were all convinced that if she could just somehow make it onto the show one day, she would wipe the floor with the competition. It was just her thing. Even after losing her dad to heart disease while still in high school, Barbara seemed determined to carve out a solid future for herself. She attended community

college, then moved on to Penn State, and eventually ended up working for her mom, like I mentioned.

And she was really good at what she did. However, her life wasn't perfect. She had a serious problem.

While working at the Copa Cabana Boardwalk Casino, she'd met a local man named Steve Frizzell.

The two hit it off and moved in together.

Steve loved Barbara's intelligence and humor and described her as an angel.

And Barbara was enamored with him too.
