The Disappearances of Brenda Moore, Jennifer Barton, and Debra Stewart

In the span of three months in 1976, three young East Austin women vanished. With seemingly no clues left behind, the Austin Police were baffled, however, it’s unclear if they were investigating the first two cases from the get-go, those of Brenda Jean Moore and Jennifer Joyce Barton. They certainly were not utilizing the media – a vital tool in any missing persons case; it took a year for Jennifer to get a highly sensationalized article about her disappearance and Brenda never once made the newspaper. Police went to the media for Debra Kay Stewart’s missing person’s case about a week after she disappeared, perhaps too late to be effective.

If you have any information about the disappearances of Brenda Jean Moore, Jennifer Joyce Barton, or Debra Kay Stewart, please contact the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Missing Persons Clearinghouse at (800) 346-3243 or the Austin Police Department at (512) 974-5250.
