MISSING: Brenda Gail Lambert

A woman with dark, curly hair stands in a kitchen. Streamers hang from the ceiling, and a helpful party guest is at the sink getting some dishes out of the way for the party host.

The host, Brenda Lambert, stands off center in the photo in a bright yellow t-shirt, unmissable because of the color, but the thing that draws the eye to her is the look on her face.

Her expression is hard to read; it could be sadness or worry, but it is definitely not the broad smile you would expect to see in a photo from a one-year-old's birthday party, especially not from his proud and doting mother.

The photo is one of the last taken before Brenda Lambert disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again.
