articles.latimes.com/2005/jan/13/loca/me-victims13 "Vanessa Bryson, 28, a singer 
known for a great voice and her dream of making it in the music business. Bryson 
lived next door to Charlie Womack's house."
"Vanessa Bryson

Vanessa Bryson had a singing voice that reminded locals of Nelly Furtado or Natalie 
Merchant. Around her house she kept figures of Buddha and was interested in Asian 
style and religion. To keep in shape, she did tai chi and Pilates and drove each day to 
a gym in Carpinteria.

Hart, who lived in the same house with her for about a year, said Bryson and her 
boyfriend, Dan Powell, were from Cape May, N.J. Friends said Bryson dreamed of 
making it in the music business, but knew it was a longshot.

As the mudslide hit the town, Maben said, he watched on television as Powell ran out 
of the house he shared with Vanessa, screaming: "She's still in there!" "
