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.

Brooke is not listed at NAMUS as of today.

No other information or updates found. Very sad!
