Solved: Oregon 1987 cold case | arrest shocks community

In October 1987, thirty-two-year-old postal carrier David Brennan disappeared from the town of Crestwood, Oregon. His truck was found with the door open and letters scattered everywhere.

David was someone everyone loved. Tall with curly hair, he had been delivering mail for six years and remembered everyone's birthday. He carried dog treats in his pocket and helped the elderly.

He had a pregnant wife Margaret and a four-year-old daughter Emma. His true passion was restoring furniture - every evening he brought broken chairs and dressers back to life. He had a gift for seeing beauty in broken things. He gave most of his work away for free.

That morning started like any other - pancakes for his daughter, a kiss for his wife, a promise to bring Emma a surprise. He planned to be home by four. He was last seen at 9:15. By 10:45, he had vanished.

Three hundred volunteers searched for three weeks. Nothing. In December, Margaret gave birth to their son Michael - a boy his father would never meet. Emma asked every night when daddy was coming home.

Thirty-two years later, genetic genealogy revealed the truth. DNA led to someone no one suspected.
