It was destiny, no doubt, that Randy Foye wound up in Brooklyn and ended the biggest mystery in his life, the disappearance and loss of his mother. We have written about it before, how Foye’s mother got into a van one day when Foye was a child and never returned and how 27 years later, after the veteran joined the Nets, her body was found, buried as a Jane Doe in Brooklyn.
