Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP19106) and 3 other sources
Brenda Lee Bridges, age 29, was last seen on August 16, 1997, in Tampa, Florida. On that day, she was observed getting into a white van at the intersection of Nebraska Avenue and Skipper Road. After this sighting, Brenda vanished and has not been heard from since. At the time of her disappearance, she lived in an apartment on Carmen Court and worked for a cleaning service. Although she had previously dropped out of sight for short periods, she always stayed in touch with her two children, which made her prolonged absence highly concerning.

Authorities have investigated her case as a potential abduction, though very few details have emerged over the years. Brenda was described as being 5'3" tall, weighing 135 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She also had a distinctive scar on her abdomen. Despite ongoing efforts, her case remains unsolved, and she is still classified as missing. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office continues to seek any information that could help uncover what happened to Brenda.
