The record

Brenda Tucker was 28 when she disappeared from Cleburne County during the summer of 1988, according to an open U.S. Department of Justice NamUs record. The precise date of her last contact is not provided. 1

NamUs states that Tucker was last seen at Bubba Carrol’s house with Carl A. Williams, who was described as either her boyfriend or husband. The record says it has not been confirmed whether Tucker and Williams were married. 1
