Sheila Simmons, the sister of Myrtle Simmons-Brown, disclosed that her last conversation with Myrtle took place on Thursday, September 14. She expressed her deep concern, saying, “We’re going to find out what happened because it’s not normal for my sister to not answer her phone, not to respond to text messages. People have been reaching out to her since Friday. No one was able to reach her.” She added, “Now, I got the call this morning saying that she’s missing, so immediately I came out here and find out my sister is dead.”
Simmons further noted that upon returning to Myrtle’s Maywood home, she observed signs of disturbance, as reported by FOX 59.
