Court records show three restraining order filings before SNL writer's sister disappeared

Three restraining order requests involving Christina Downer, her ex-boyfriend Delorean Bijon Brandon, and his current girlfriend Kaylee Markowski were filed in the year before investigators believe Downer was killed.

The filings, obtained by ABC7, detail escalating allegations of threats, harassment, and physical conflict between the three individuals from September 2024 to September 2025.

In September 2024, Downer filed for a restraining order against Markowski. She claimed Markowski threatened to beat her up and break into her home. Downer also stated that Markowski sent a topless video of her to strangers and kept Downer's orange tabby cat, Pumpkin, without returning it.

Brandon filed his own domestic violence restraining order against Markowski in July 2025. He alleged she slashed his tire, sent harassing emails, and contacted job sites to prevent Downer from being hired. He wrote that Markowski was angry about his relationship with Downer and her subsequent move out.

A second restraining order request from Brandon against Markowski was filed on September 2, 2025. In that document, he described an incident where Markowski hit and kicked him as he tried to leave. He also noted that she told him she would shoot him in the head if he returned to her property uninvited.

Downer was declared missing in December 2025 after authorities distributed a missing person poster. Investigators now believe she was killed approximately three months prior to that announcement. She was 38 years old and is the sister of Saturday Night Live writer Jimmy Fowlie.

Brandon and Markowski remain in custody. Brandon is charged with Downer's murder, while Markowski is accused of helping dispose of her body. Their arraignments are scheduled for the end of December, and authorities have not yet recovered Downer's remains.
