I don't find Brandon listed in NamUs at this time.

I don't find any archived articles for Brandon at this time.

Brandon has been missing for 28 years today. Come home soon.

Article from this past summer features cold cases from the area and Brandon is mentioned.

Lt. Steve Vivarina worked cold cases in Philadelphia for 29 years.
Now, his focus includes the missing-persons case of Brandon Keith Robbins, last seen in North Wildwood on Aug. 21, 1982, and the murder of Susan Negersmith, whose body was discovered in Wildwood on May 27, 1990.
“I just went to Seattle on the (Robbins) case,” Vivarina said. “We have a main suspect, and he’s been a main suspect for a while.”
The trip, however, didn’t produce the result he had hoped for.
“Right now, that box is at my desk. Susan Negersmith is at my desk,” Vivarina said. “The public may think you forget, but we don’t forget.”

I wonder if that suspect is the same person who was driving Brandon's car.
