More than 50 years after mother's murder, her daughter is taking on the case

Her daughter says the 3,000-page file shows dozens of interviews and still-missing evidence as investigators have ruled out further BCA review.

  • Joelle Aguirre recently obtained her mother's 3,000-page investigative file from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, detailing the unsolved 1971 homicide of 23-year-old Terry Jean Brady.
  • Terry Brady disappeared on May 2, 1971, after missing her daughter's birthday; her body was found days later in the Minnesota River near the Bloomington Ferry Bridge with signs of strangulation.
  • The BCA Cold Case Unit retains 29 pieces of evidence, though a 2007 report noted critical items were unaccounted for and officials confirmed no further investigation will occur.
  • Aguirre expressed frustration over missing evidence, stating, "They can't even tell me where my mom's hands went," and lamented the inability to use modern investigative advancements.
  • The family hopes renewed interest will lead individuals with information to contact the BCA Tip Line at 1-877-996-6222, keeping the decades-old mystery alive for the daughter who grew up without her mother.
