A woman goes missing, her body is found 4 days later
On Christmas Eve of 1979, 20-year-old Brenda Joi Bancroft, a white female, left her parents' home on Thalia Drive in Virginia Beach, Virginia, to attend a holiday party. Her father's last words to her were a caution to 'be careful.' She was driving her bright orange 1978 Datsun B-210 and was expected to return later that evening.
