7 Years Ago, She Vanished After Going On A Cross-Country Trip With Her Boyfriend
In 2015, Nancy Bromet of Sunrise, Florida, was thirty-seven years old.
She lived with her father in the sunshine state and was known by friends and family as a warm-hearted person that everyone loved to be around.
But, in November of that year, she decided to take a road trip to Bakersfield, California, with her boyfriend, Julio – who was a long-haul truck driver.
So, on November 12, the pair headed cross-country. But, just five days later, on November 17, Nancy called her sister, Laura, and things immediately sounded off.
She apparently told Laura she was “distressed” and wanted to go home. The call allegedly got disconnected, though, and the Bromet family never heard from Nancy again.
According to authorities, Nancy was reported missing by Julio on November 22. He claimed to have last seen Nancy after dropping her off at a shopping mall in El Centro, California, while he finished deliveries and that she was not there when he returned.
“We have talked to businesses in that area [of the shopping mall] where she was supposedly dropped off,” explained Detective Luis Hernandez of the El Centro Police Department in a 2015 interview with Dateline NBC.
“We passed out fliers and put her on our El Centro Police Department Facebook page. But she has not been seen since.”

However, Laura and the rest of the Bromet family have remained skeptical of this timeline and do not even believe that Nancy made it to California.
According to Laura, Nancy did not bring a cell phone with her on the cross-country trip. So, when Laura did not hear from Nancy again, she kept calling both Julio’s phone and his trucking company in an effort to contact her sister.
And the day that she finally got through to Julio, he reported Nancy missing.
“It was not until I asked to speak with her that he said she was missing. He had not reported her missing until then,” Laura said.
Nonetheless, authorities have uncovered very few clues throughout their investigation. So, despite Nancy’s case remaining “open and active,” according to the El Centro Police Department, the Bromet family has still been left without answers for nearly seven years now.
“She has a pattern, and this is way off her pattern,” Laura said.
Nancy was five-foot-two and weighed about one hundred and sixty-five pounds. She also had hazel eyes and long black hair. If you have any information regarding Nancy’s disappearance or whereabouts, you are encouraged to contact the El Centro Police Department at (760) 352-2111.
