Brenda Murdock, 48, was reported missing by her mother in late February. She may also go by Brenda Rodriguez or Brenda Romero. She was last seen in November in Williston, where she has worked at hotels, a grocery store and a gas station.
Two women reported that they may have picked up Murdock while she was hitchhiking in Rapid City, South Dakota on Feb. 24. The pair reported that they gave the hitchhiker, who said she was on her way to North Dakota to get a job, a ride from one end of the city to the other. Thinking the woman’s story was odd, they contacted police in Williston after finding Murdock’s photo attached to a missing person report online.
Police here are still trying to confirm that the woman the two picked up was Murdock.
Her twin sister, Brandi Romero, who lives in Colorado, said her sister’s disappearance is out of character.
“My mom is worried, she would usually keep in contact with my mom,” Romero said. “I just hope we find her soon.”
