St. Louis County, MO (KTRS) A Spanish Lake woman who was reported missing after her sister’s death is now facing murder charges.
Fifty-seven-year-old Sylvia Brown was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in the death of her 59-year-old sister, Brenda Brown. Police found Brenda Brown shot to death Monday at a home the sisters shared in the 2500 block of Dukeland.
An Endangered Person Advisory was issued for Sylvia Brown Monday night. Police canceled the alert Tuesday, saying detectives had made contact with her n and no longer considered her endangered.
Court documents say Sylvia Brown told police she had planned her sister’s death because she was in debt and didn’t want her sister to find out.
