Sunday marked the 8th anniversary of the disappearance of Rachel Cooke. It has become a well known missing persons case here in central Texas. Rachel Cooke disappeared without a trace. The 19-year-old was last seen jogging near her rural Williamson County home the morning of January 10th, 2002.
Sunday afternoon Robert Cooke, Rachel's father, spent the day in his Georgetown home thinking about his daughter. About three years ago, Michael Moore, a man serving time in state prison for another murder, confessed to the crime. He later backed out of a plea deal in court. That sent the case back to square one.
“We realized that he was probably just making it all up,” said Robert Cooke. “He was probably trying to get some benefits to moving to a lower security jail where he could visit his wife and have better food.
It's difficult because he was using our daughter as a vehicle for his own gains, but that's what predators do.”
A special task force continues to investigate the case. There is a $50,000 reward.
If you have any information on Rachel Cooke call Crimestoppers at 472-TIPS.
