Circumstances of Disappearance

On December 24, 1996, Bridget moved from Wichita, Kansas to San Francisco with a male friend. They were living in a "rent by week" hotel at 376 Ellis Street. On April 7, 1997, Bridget was arrested in San Francisco. That is the last documented sighting of her. Bridget's family never heard or saw her again after her move to California.

Bridget was often homeless and was known to sleep on the streets of Tenderloin and Mission areas of San Francisco. According to her sister, who is now deceased, Bridget may have worked as a prostitute in the area of 16th and 19th off of Capp Street. Bridget began following the band "Grateful Dead" around in the early 1990's. During that time she became addicted to drugs and was still using up until the day of her disappearance.
