Details Of Disappearance

19 Year old Judith Anne Brown, Who went by Judy. Went missing sometime in April of 1977 from Queens, New York. At the time, Judith was dating Richard Riesenberg. Riesenberg was acquitted by reason of insanity of killing his wife & young son in 1973. Riesenberg was committed to the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center after his Trial. Judy herself had her own issues with Mental Health & had a brief stay at Creedmoor in August of 1976. It's unclear whether she met Riesenberg there or somewhere else. She told her family in a letter that she met him at a bus stop. Riesenberg was given extensive privileges while staying at Creedmoor. He was virtually able to come and go as he pleased. He also had access to a substantial amount of money & was not taking/refused his medications. He walked off Creedmoor grounds sometime in April. It is believed Judy was with him at the time. Judy is said to have called her family around a month after her and Riesenberg had disappeared. She told her sister she was "ok".  But didn’t elaborate on anything else before the call ended. There have been reports of Riesenberg possibly living in Colorado in the 1990s & possibly still being alive up until 2000. It's rumored he even raised a family. There have been no confirmed sightings of Judy or Riesenberg since April of 1977. Judy's

case remains Unsolved. Law Enforcement believe Judy left voluntarily and wasn't taken against her will. Riesenberg remains a wanted fugitive.
