The estimated age of Robert Pann is 54, which is the same age Bernice Charlotte Gray would have been if she were still alive.
A witness claimed to have heard a gunshot on the day of Bernice’s disappearance. Based on the bullet fragments and quantity of blood in her automobile, the Macomb County medical examiner determined that Gray was murdered.
On December 26, 1991, at a stop sign on Gordon and Florence, Gray was allegedly shot twice in the head. Police found her purse at 7 pm at Interstate 94 and Chalmers in Detroit.
Over the following few years, detectives and relatives dug up fields in Macomb County, investigated waterways surrounding Lake St. Clair, and explored sewers and abandoned homes in Detroit.
