The Indiana MP Bulletin has a ton of people who aren't in NAMUS. Some appear to have been found alive but I've found about a dozen who appear to still be missing. Brooke is one of them. I can't find any trace of her after this yearbook photo in '97.

Not in NAMUS or any other database


Hoping one of y'all can find a bit more info.

I was unable to find anything at all regarding even her existence, save for the same yearbook photos

I wasn't able to find anything else either. There's definitely more to this story. Why nothing in local newspapers?

I went to middle/high school with Brooke and we were friends when she disappeared when we were 16/17 yo. I was surprised to find a missing persons report posted by IPS which led me to this thread. Many of us have always wondered what happened to Brooke. She had a big personality so it is strange that she continues to be untraceable after all of these years. <modsnip - sleuthing family and rumors>

Thank you for confirming that she's still missing, though I'm sad to hear it. I'll enter her in NAMUS, the national misssing person database.
