 Brandy Hall is dead. 
  
 What police, investigators, family, friends, the general public and her murderer have pretty much known for nine years is now official. The former Palm Bay firefighter and mother of two, who went missing in 2006 at age 32, is dead. 
  
 Brevard Circuit Judge Lisa Davidson signed the declaration Tuesday afternoon after family members petitioned the court. 
  
 More importantly, the Presumptive Death Certificate puts Hall's death at the very same night she disappeared, Aug. 17, 2006. "The amount of blood found in her truck was consistent with a conclusion that she died on the date of the her disappearance," the order states. 
  
 This puts an even bigger crimp in the story put forward by her lover at the time that she told him she'd planned to leave town. 
  
 Hall was last seen leaving the Malabar Fire Station close to 11 p.m. Her pickup, with her blood inside, was found the following day submerged in a pond near what was then Brevard Community College in Palm Bay. Her body was never recovered. 
  
 Her two children, Taylor, now 19, and Clay, now 14, were left without a mother. They deserve better now after all these years. They deserve some peace. 
  
 Early on, police focused on Hall's husband, Jeffrey — a former Osceola County fire captain sentenced to prison on drug charges the day her truck was found — before shifting focus to Randall Richmond, a now-retired Palm Bay fire captain who eventually admitted to police that he was having an affair with Hall. Richmond, who initially told police he had no contact with Hall, texted and called her regularly, according to police. They say phone records show Brandy and Richmond spoke for more than 10 minutes after she left the fire station that night. 
  
 Richmond has refused to comment further to police on the case. And police say they cannot compel Richmond to give another interview, saying there is not a single piece of physical evidence that links him to Hall's disappearance. 
  
 People were using words like "closure" and "moving on" Tuesday, but that will never happen for the Hall family until her killer is found and Brandy's remains recovered. After the quick hearing, Jeffrey Hall — who was officially cleared by police years ago — urged his wife's killer to come forward. 
  
 "My youngest doesn't even remember his mom, and I don't like that. He was less than 5 years old," he said, adding that the death pronouncement offered him no closure. "The one person who did this is still walking the streets, and that's the bottom line. Until he gets put away, there will be no closure. It's time for them to come forward and let my kids have closure." 
  
 Palm Bay Detective Ernie Diebel attended the hearing as well. He is the third detective to take over the case and retires in a few months. 
  
 "It's hard for the family, especially for Taylor," Diebel said. "You know, she doesn't really want to accept it. When you're the kid, you don't ever want to admit that your mother is dead." 
  
 A backpack containing some of Hall's personal items was found in a canal in Vero Beach about a month after she disappeared. Later, one of her old fire helmets was found near Mather's Bridge in Indian Harbour Beach. 
  
 The children deserve more than a backpack and a helmet. They deserve a place to leave flowers, where they can talk to a mother they will never see again, a headstone to lean upon and and maybe just somewhere they can remember and smile — a place where they know mom is finally resting. 
  
 Brandy Hall is dead. But we already knew that.

 BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. - A judge has signed the death certificate of a Brevard County firefighter who has been missing since 2006. 
  
 The body of Brandy Hill has never been found. 
  
 “They (the children) realize that their mom is dead, you know, but this is a not closure by any means,” said the victim’s husband, Jeffrey Hall. 
  
 Hall left the Malabar fire station in the middle of her shift on August 2006. 
  
 Days later, her truck was discovered submerged in a pond in Palm Bay with blood in the cab. 
  
 No suspects have been named in her disappearance. 
  
 Investigators have always eyed a Palm Bay firefighter who may have been the last person to talk to her. 
  
 Search crews checked ponds and the woods, but her body was never found. 
  
 Judge Lisa Davidson granted a request by Hall’s daughter on Tuesday. 
  
 Taylor Hall was 10 years old when her mother vanished. 
  
 She sought the death certificate to bring some closure to the family. 
  
 State law allows a certificate to be issued if someone is absent from their home for more than five years, with no reasonable explanation. 
  
 “It’s somewhat unusual. You have it time-to-time when someone vanishes,” said family attorney Morris Richardson. 
  
 Jeffrey Hall still holds out hope that someone will come forward with information about what may have happened to his wife. 
  
 “There’s somebody out there. There’s definitely somebody out there. It’s just time for them to come forward,” he said. 
  
 Jeffrey Hall was considered a suspect, but was cleared years ago. 
  
 A police spokeswoman said the case remains open and active, but there haven’t been any solid leads. |||||
Output:
Brandy Hall has been officially declared dead nine years and a day after the Florida firefighter's pickup truck was found stained with her blood. Family members of the mother of two had petitioned a court for a declaration of death, which was signed by a judge yesterday, reports Florida Today. The Presumptive Death Certificate records Hall's death as occurring on Aug. 17, 2006, the night she vanished after leaving a shift at the Malabar Fire Station. "The amount of blood found in her truck was consistent with a conclusion that she died on the date of her disappearance," it states. Hall's husband, Jeffrey, who was at the court hearing, says the declaration is a formality that brings no closure to the couple's daughter, 19, and son, 14; WFTV reports the daughter was the one to request the death certificate. "My youngest doesn't even remember his mom, and I don't like that. He was less than 5 years old," Jeffrey Hall says. "The one person who did this is still walking the streets, and that's the bottom line. Until he gets put away, there will be no closure." Police suspect Hall's fire captain and lover, Randall Richmond, but have found no physical evidence linking him to the case. (Click for more.)
