TX TX - Joyce Brewer, 15, Grand Prairie, 6 Sept 1970

[hanpap]

In the Texas birth index her birthday is Jan 24, 1954. That would make her 16 at the time of her disappearance . All of the Newspaper articles I could find state her as being 17.

From the Grand Prairie Daily News:
February 18, 1971 and August 14, 1973

My mother lived in Grand Prairie for several years when she was growing up, until she quit school and ran away to California in 1972. I mentioned to her that I had joined this site and on a long shot, I asked her if she knew Joyce Brewer. She thought she did know her, on the periphery. Joyce would have been about three years older than her. My mother said that she had a friend named Jack (she called him Jackie) Brewer, and that his sister was named Joyce. She was sure they were the same person. She said she never knew that Joyce had been reported missing, or that she had run away from home. Anyways, I know I didn't really contribute anything "new", but maybe it will renew some interest in the thread.

Can you please tell

The part about the family believing she ran away with the boyfriend is the strangest part of this story, to me anyway. Did the family know who the boyfriend was? Is he missing? I would think in the 70s you would have to be at least 16 to get married so even if she ran away with an older boyfriend I doubt she could have married without a parent signing for permission. Does anybody know? Would you be able to get married younger than 16 if you were pregnant?

me where I can find the info on the family saying something about the boyfriend & California?
I have been researching a case and there’s a change this is one of the girls from my case.

I believe that info is in the first post of this thread on page one. The Charley Project just states that she left her house after an argument with her parents about staying out too late. I want to think the post on Charley Project has been revised and that this may be where the info about a boyfriend originally came from, but it might have come from Doe Network instead.
