"Hello everyone, My name is Brandy Johnson. I am desperately trying to contact my family member in Guam. I have been searching for him for so many years. He is my mom's baby brother, and they were seperated in the late 1970s when he was stationed there. His name is Claudie Combs. This is the closest I've ever come to helping her find him. My mom is much older now, but her lifelong wish has been to hear his voice again and possibly see him. My mom (Opal), his other sister (Joyce), and my grandmother Mazola (his mother) tried everything they could to find him in times past. These were the days long before advanced internet capabilities. They were from a small town in Arkansas, and there was only so much that they knew to do... They ran into so many brick walls getting help from the military many years ago. At any rate, here we are years later. I have vowed to my mom that I would do whatever I could to help her find him. After many years of searching, I have found the city where my uncle lives. I reached out to the GPD in efforts to make contact with him, and hopefully have my message and contact information passed on to him. I'm so overcome with emotion at how close I've come... The officers that I spoke with at the Dededo precinct was very helpful... What I do know is that his last address was in Hemlani Apartments in Agana. I'm sure there's a better way to describe his address; however, my limited knowledge of how to describe addresses in the area won't allow me to communicate it better. I wrote everything down as quickly as I could. I was so overcome with emotion by how helpful the officer was and by how this has been a 40+ year journey, and this is the first time anyone has known anything. We've never been this close before. But it still feels as if I'm looking for a needle in a haystack. The problem I've run into is that the officer told me that this was the most recent address that he had on file (as of January of this year). He said he only knew this because my uncle filed a complaint about something and gave his address. I don't know it's been a roller coaster. The officer told me that he would speak with his supervisor about doing a welfare check. When I talked to him again, he let me know that my uncle lives in a different precinct and that he would have to dispatch someone there. I spoke with that precinct and they said they would check, but since it's not an emergency, they wouldn't be able to do it right away. I'm not sure what to think. I've tried to read about the area where my uncle lives, and have read about some issues with the residents and police. I wonder if maybe the other officer that he dispatched didn't want to go to the area. I could be completely wrong. I'm just not sure what to think. I have no idea what to do next, so I'm exploring all options I can think of to possibly get me closer. I was able to make contact with the owner of the apartment complex (Vinod Hemlani) -who was also encouraging and helpful. He wasn't familiar with my uncle's name right away, but told me he would check the database and try to see what he finds. After talking further, Mr. Hemlani realized that I was referencing the complex in Agana Heights; however, he had sold that one in 2020. We were both devastated. However, he told me that he would try to make whatever connections he could with the new owner, if he still had any. I'm posting here in hopes that someone will see this and will help me reach my uncle. I’m literally praying for divine connections at this point. I know that it is only God that allowed me to get this close after so many years... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Brandy Johnson."Brandy Johnson has been looking for Claudie Combs since December 28, 2022.
