Bobbie was a favorite teacher of many at the elementary school where she taught. One of her students published this tribute to her in a local paper following her murder.
Pictured: an advertisement for the apartment complex where Bobbie was murdered just after moving in. It was a low-crime neighborhood, and her murder was a statistical anomaly.

    I’m a faithful long time listener of Last Seen Alive and this case in particular really got to me. The fact that Bobbie’s murder has been virtually forgotten over time breaks my heart. The absence of coverage for someone so wonderful and dedicated to her community is really sad to me and I’m thankful to your podcast for bringing her name back to our lips and hearts. RIP Bobbie Brown. I hope you get the justice you deserve someday.
