Missing in the Carolinas

Ep. 145-The Unsolved Murder of Brenda Holland in the OBX, Part 1


Listen Later

In the summer of 1967, 19-year-old Brenda Holland took a job as a makeup supervisor with The Lost Colony outdoor drama in Manteo, N.C. Excited to continue training for a potential career in the theatre, she embraced the opportunity with joy and enthusiasm. But after only a month on the island, Brenda disappeared after a date with a Lost Colony cast member. Her deceased body turned up five days later in the Albemarle Sound, and despite an extensive investigation, the murder remained unsolved until a journalist dug into the case and provided his personal theory of what happened. This week we'll discuss Brenda Holland's life and background along with the details of her disappearance and cause of death, and next week's episode will cover the list of suspects and who was likely the young woman's killer.

Check out John Railey's book, "The Lost Colony Murder on the Outer Banks: Seeking Justice for Brenda Joyce Holland."
