Syble Brumley
Brumley was last seen at her residence a few miles south of Mansfield, Louisiana at approximately 8:30 p.m. on April 28, 1997. Authorities searched her home after she failed to report to work at DeSoto Sheriff's Office the following day; she worked part-time there as a secretary.
Investigators discovered that Brumley's front door had been kicked in, the screen door was cut, and the inside of the house was in disarray. Potted plants were spilled and furniture had been displaced. There was no sign of Brumley. Her purse and some clothing were missing from the home.
Investigators believe Brumley was taken against her will. Her husband had died in 1975 and Brumley had lived alone since then, but dated multiple men. She was active in her church, enjoyed making arts and crafts and spending time with her family, and had worked at a department store and a beauty shop before her retirement.
Brumley's case remains unsolved. She was declared legally dead in 2004.
Where is Syble?
"Day to day you just wonder and you just need closure. Whether she is alive or dead it does not matter. . . we just need to bring her home," said Tracy Cowden.
"It's one of those deals where we've had to see a lot of our loved ones pass on and we can see the sorrow in their eyes because they didn't know where she was or what happened to her," said Dwayne Brumley.
What did happen to Sybil Brumley? DeSoto Parish Sheriff Captain Tony Morris knows part of what happened because he has been following up on Syble's case all these years and made a painful admission during the meeting with the family. "I basically have failed them up until this point as far as my career goes this is my greatest disappointment," said Morris.
Morris, who retired Thursday, remembers the day 76-year-old Syble Brumley went missing on April 28, 1997. It was a day Brumley was supposed to come to work at the DeSoto Parish Sheriff's department. She was a volunteer clerk there. When she was a no-show family went her house to find one of the doors kicked in but no sign of Syble, almost like she vanished except there was a sign of a struggle that gave Morris a good reason to believe someone made her disappear and that is who Capt. Morris the entire shreriff's dept, police and the family have been looking for all these years.
The Brumley family vows to never let the memory of Syble Brumley die. The grand-kids have told the great-grand kids about Syble and the great-grand kids are telling their kids about their great great grandmother...great, not because she is missing but because she had a love for her family that has stood the test of time.

We asked if there was anybody who still cared about Syble Brumley. She went missing almost 20 years ago. We thought a few might show up to the DeSoto Parish training facility. Three generations of family filled the room with tears because they all have the same question on their hearts and minds. Where is Syble?- We spoke to one of the great grand-kids who is in her twentys who remember the day her great grandmother went missing when she was just seven years old. "Yes, I remember every bit of it," said Jessie Brumley.
- We saw Jessie literally flipping through pages of time, looking at photos from before Syble Brumley went missing to the newspaper clippings after the news spread that she was gone.
