Missing Texas Student Found After 7 Years

BRYAN, Texas — A Texas A&M University (search) student who had been feared murdered after disappearing nearly seven years ago has been found alive and working in Kentucky, according to authorities.

Brandi Stahr (search) went missing in October 1998, and police spent hours searching for her body in wooded areas. They questioned a serial rapist and murderer about her just hours before he was executed last year.

But a telephone tip led investigators to Florence, Ky., where Stahr has been working for the last five years at a Sam's Club (search), said Texas Ranger Frank Malinak.

"We thought we were dealing with a missing persons case," Malinak said. "But, in actuality, we were dealing with a person who did not want to be found and was in hiding."

Stahr, 27, hid from her family after she and her mother, Ann Dickenson, got into an argument over bad grades she received during her sophomore year and her family stopped paying for school.

For the last five years, Stahr worked under her real name, using her Social Security number. But police said they were unable to locate her that way because they don't have access to IRS records.

Dickenson and Stahr haven't reunited yet, but have talked on the phone. Stahr told her sister the family should not bother visiting, but her mother said nothing will stop her.

"We're going. I'm going. Even if I have to sit out in a (Sam's Club) parking lot to see her," Dickenson said.

Although Stahr committed no crime in her disappearance, investigators spent a lot of money and time looking for her, Malinak said.

"The responsible thing to do would have been to let someone know you're OK," Malinak said. "There are going to be people expending man-hours and effort, trying to find a missing person."

I WISH they had just made it up. It was a pretty big deal around A&M when she disappeared and a lot of people wasted time and money searching for her. I just don't understand some people.

Seems kinda hard to believe that she was never found even while using her real name and SSN and stuff.

 

[rare21]

figures it would be an Aggie or anyone near there.

The mom had better wait out in the parking lot. There's no way she'll find her inside Sam's. Those stores are huge...

yeah, a "going away" note would have suficed! I hate when people dont think about the what will happen. I would be majorly pissed off if I volunteered to help find her only to find out she was a stupid runaway. I mean, its good she is alive, man I would ring her neck.

Living in Atlanta, I've been inundated with news of the "Runaway Bride." She wasn't gone for seven years, of course, but people were looking, and her fiancee was under investigation for murder. And now they've released the tapes of her FBI interview, and what does she say? "I just cracked under all this pressure and I just, I mean, I couldn't do it all. I couldn't, and have the perfect wedding that everybody thought that I was supposed to have. I only have one day off, and I've got to get my pedicure and manicure done. I've got to pack for this honeymoon, and I don't even know where I'm going. Blah, blah, blah. I was like, there's no absolute way I'm going to get all this done." She ran away, hid for days, and made up a story about being abducted and sexually assaulted by a Hispanic guy because she had to get a manicure and pack for her honeymoon? I wanted to jump through the TV and throttle her.
