Silva Ball

I finally have a last name to go after Silva. She is currently married to a man named Bradley Thomas Ball. Her birthday is listed as March 19, 1983. Without being her friend, I can not see anything besides her profile picture and general stats. I can not see any other photos, although I am sure if I was able to get access, I would find some of Swan.

Along with Charlene and all of her children, I sent a request to add Silva to my facebook. Although she declined, I sent messages to a few of her friends on facebook hoping one would be dirty enough to allow me access on Silva's information. I was only looking for basic information, photos, and what not. I was lucky enough to find a girl to provide me with what I was looking for. As of now I am waiting for further details.

For the record, Silva also has myspace. Her account is http://www.myspace.com/silvawhere but she has not signed into it in almost a year. So I assume at this point, she won't any time soon either.

Charlene Brooner

Amazingly enough, there is only one Charlene Brooner on facebook. I know this to be Swan's stepmother. On her main page, what I can see is limited because I am not her friend and even though I have requested an add twice, she will not add me.

I can see her pictures, she has five, and none of them include Devon or Swan. However one is of a gingerbread house which she labeled "Swan and Devon's Gingerbread House". I guess that answers the question: who do Devon and Swan currently live with!!

Her front page stats list her birthday as April 10 1951, her hometown as Soldotna, AK (even though her network is Anchorage probably due to the fact Soldotna is too small to have it's own network), she is listed as single. Looking through her friend's list of 20, she does not have Robert (or Bubba) listed, or Swan or Devon. She does have Silva...

Swan's Father

On the link I posted earlier today, Swan's father's name was mentioned, something I had never known before. Hank Brooner.

I decided to see if I could find an obituary. Without Silva's last name, she would be almost impossible to find on facebook, but Hank's obit would possibly list his wife's name, and if I found her, I could find Silva and possibly Swan under an alias or private account.

So I searched and I did find an obituary, a few actually, and a picture of Hank. It mentioned he was survived by his wife: Charlene Brooner, two children: Swan and Devon Brooner and a bunch of step kids.

It also mentions he was from Soldotna, Alaska. If Swan is still living in this town, she may be attending Soldotna High School. But I don't know at this point if she is with Charlene or with Silva.

Now the seach is on for Charlene...

Finding Silva

So the key to Swan would probably be Silva. She was rumoured to be the last person trying to get custody of Swan. Silva's last name is never mentioned in the documentry "Living Dolls" so we don't know at all what it would be. Probably not her mother's (Browne) and definately not Swan or her brother Devon's (Brooner). Plus she is married now.
Through imdb I found a link to an old website where Silva apparently posted under the name Silvawhere. There she said Swan was no longer doing pagents, and that her father had passed away.

She posted 7/11/05 and on the entire site only ever posted twice. Was it or was it not actually her? I am not sure but I will look into it further.

The Search Begins

So like a lot of people who are into child beauty pagents, I have been obsessed with Swan Brooner for about 10 years since I first saw Living Dolls. Every now and then I try and find information on her, but like everyone else, only know that her mother died, her father died, her sister was trying to get custody, and that is about it. She would be 16 now, and I am detirmined to find out what happened to the little beauty queen.
