Hell and Gone Murder Line: Brooke Allensworth

who lived in limestone caves around there. So, according to my dad and a local legend, the name of the town Oltrough came from the wooden troughs that these hunters would store their barre oil in. These days, it's a quiet town, not the kind of place where a young mother could vanish in the middle of the afternoon, But

that's exactly what happened to Brook Allensworth. Sheared without a trace, and her family, including her three children and a father and sister, who were still searching for answers, never saw her alive again. I'm Catherine Townsend. This is Helen Gone Murder line. Over the past five years of making my true crime podcast, Helen Gone. I've learned that there is no such thing as a small town where murdered never happens.

I have received hundreds of messages from people all around the country asking for help with an unsolved murder that's affected them, their families, and their communities. If you have a case you'd like me and my team to look into, you can reach out to us at our Helen Gone Murder line at six seven eight seven four four six one four five. That's six seven eight seven four four six one four or five. I first heard about Brook's

case back in twenty eighteen. Back then, she had only been missing for a few months, but her family already had questions about how the case was being handled and why there was so little information made public about the search for her. The last known sighting of Brooke Allensworth was on July twelfth, twenty eighteen. Just over two weeks later, on July twenty seventh, the police found Brook's car, a

black two thousand and seven Toyota Camry. The car had been abandoned just off Arkansas Highway one twenty two at the White River access point in Ultrough. The bottom of the car was muddy, like Brook might have been driving through some rough road which is not by the way, uncommon for that area. The front right tire of the car was completely flat. The car looked like it had been left there for days or possibly weeks. It was

parked near a boat ramp. Brook's family said that Brooke had been having multiple unexplained flat tires and the days and weeks before she went missing. The doors of the car were locked, the keys were missing. The sheriff at the time, Sean Stevens, told reporters quote, someone called in about a vehicle sitting under a bridge. It was like it was just parked there and walked away from The keys were not in the car. Have no information on

who put it there. Inside the car, police found Brook's personal effects, her wallet with money still inside, her cell phone, a can of fix a flat, and a pack of cigarettes, but there was no sign of Brook now from what they've said, although police haven't revealed much information, they seemed to believe that Brooke was planning to meet someone at that location and that after she got out of her car, she took her keys, locked it and went with that person.

And again, although this is technically an open case, which means that the information in the case file has not been made public, so I have no access to it. From what I know of Brooke, I find it very hard to believe that she would have just locked up and left all of her personal items behind. At the time when she went missing, Brooke had a lot to look forward to. In twenty twelve, she graduated from the University of Arkansas Community College with an Associate of Applied

Science degree in nursing. She worked as an LPN or a licensed practical nurse. Brooke was divorced from her ex husband, Dustin. She had three children, two from her first marriage and one with her current partner, Brad. At the time of her disappearance, her two older children were in their teens. She and Brad had a son who was four years old.

Brooke was living in Sarce and working as a nurse at Newark Medical Clinic, so that route from Circe to Oltrough, which Brooke drove right before she disappeared, was one that she knew very well. I've been in contact with Brooke's sister, Kelly Avensalindsworth for a couple of years now, and I followed everything that Kelly has done. She has never stopped

fighting to get answers about what really happened to Brooke. Now, some people have suggested that Brooke, like a lot of people in the region, had used some drugs in the past, including methamphetamines. But as I've sad said many times in this podcast, drug use or actually anything in a person's life does not define them and it should never affect

how diligently someone's case is pursued. Everyone deserves justice. In my opinion, from what the police said when Brook first went missing, it appeared that they did not treat this incident as possibly involving foul play. Some of that is understandable. Police pointed out there was no sign of foul play in or around Brook's car, no sign of a struggle, and it's not illegal for someone over eighteen to voluntarily

go missing. However, Brook's family was adamant she never would have dropped out of sight and left her children for this long. Leaving all of her personal belongings behind, including her cell phone and her money, does not make sense. Brook's family insists it was completely out of character for her to go off somewhere without contacting her father or staying in touch with her children. W Brook's father, Aubrey Allensworth, said she always stayed in touch with him and with

her kids. He said, quote, She's a kind, gentle, wonderful, loving person. She's the type of person who, if she saw a straight dog running by the highway, would stop and pick it up and take care of it. End quote. Though Brooke had faced demons in the past, she adored her children. At the time of Brook's disappearance, things were complicated for her at home. Friends and family say she was worried about arguments she had been having lately with the father of her four year old son, Brad. Brooke

was worried about getting custody of her young son. Before she disappeared, Brooke also had other suspicions. She believed that she was being followed. Now, some people seemed to have written this off as possibly being paranoid, but from what I have learned about Brook's life from her family and people who knew her, she had value reasons to be worried. I've put together a timeline of Brook's last movements. There are a lot of things I'm going to mention here

that you will not see on the news. I did this with help from Brook's sister Kelly, who has never given up on trying to get answers and justice for her sister and to find out what really happened to Brook. I keep looking back at Brook's Facebook page, the one whose cover quote reads, speak the truth even if your voice shakes, all of Brook's photos or Brooke smiling with her children. I also notice we have two mutual friends, which confirms my long held belief that in many ways,

the state of Arkansas is one big small town. As you know, in this podcast, we try to focus on victimology, what Brooke was doing, what her state of mind was at the time of her disappearance, and what was going on in her life. So let's go back to July tenth, two days before Brook disappeared. That day, she sent her sister Kelly a message saying, hey girl, what's up. Kelly said it was a while before she responded because it

seemed like a completely normal message. When she did get back to Brook, Brooke wrote back saying don't worry, I've got it taken care of. Much later, when she reflected back on that message, Kelly thought maybe her sister needed something, maybe she was trying to tell her something. But again, at the time, it didn't seem like a big deal. On that day, on July tenth, Kelly said that Brooke was with Brad, her partner and the father of her

four year old child. They were together at Brad's home in Sarcy, Arkansas, which again is about forty four miles away. It takes a little less than an hour to make that trip by carr. Brooke and Brad went to Newport for the day, then back to his place in Sarce that night. Kelly said she believes on that day Brooke and Brad did have some kind of argument. Now I want to make absolutely clear here I am not in any way suggesting that Brad or anyone else had any

part in Brook's disappearance. I don't know what happen, but because there is no information out there and it's been so many years, I want to go through all the known facts and hopefully, working together, we can close any of these gaps in time. I have reached out both to Brad and to Dustin in the past, I have not heard back. I would love to talk to both of them. As we all know, the tiniest detail can

sometimes be the missing piece that helps break a case. Now, apparently while Brad was in the shower, Brooke left the residence with the couple's son. After Brooke made the decision to leave home, she went to stay with a female friend, a person who lived in Newport, and then she stayed with that female friend overnight. Again. All of this information is according to Brook's sister, Kelly. Just to clarify some geography here, we talk about Newark, Newport, and Oltrough. Those

three towns are all very close together. Newark is right across the bridge from Oltrough across the White River. Newport is about ten miles from Oltrough up Arkansas Highway fourteen. All of these places were locations where Brook frequented. So now we go to the next day, July eleventh. Brooke called her two older children, who I believe were in their teens. At least one of them must have been old enough to drive. She arranged for them to come pick up her little son, her youngest son, in Oltrop.

She told her kids she had a hair appointment in Newport, so they did. They took brook Son with them. She went on to her hair appointment. Brooke went into the Allure beauty salon. When she went in, she was a brunette. She came out of Platinum Blonde on that same day. I believe she also had her nails done at a different,

separate appointment. That night, Brook stayed with the same female friend she'd stayed with the previous night, And this was around the time when Brooke had been telling people she was having these car issues. She said she had been getting a lot of unexplained flat time. On the morning of July twelfth, Brooke left her friend's residence pretty early in the morning. Her sister, Kelly, said that Brook's plan was to go back to Sircy and talk to Brad

to see if they could work things out. She told friend she was going to face the music to work out her issues with him. Kelly said Brooke did seem to be worried about the arguing with Brad, but Brooke appeared to have other things on her mind, things that were bothering her even more. Kelly said, quote, she was scared. She said that a brown truck was following her. End quote. Now, at some point it seems like Brooke got another flat.

They're a report she was seen on the side of the road and that she was using fix a flat, which if any of you've never seen fix a flat. It's basically compressed air in a can. She was using it to put air into her tires. But fix a flat is really just a quick fix. If you've got a leak, you still have to go get it fixed somewhere, which Brooke apparently just do. At eight thirty am, after leaving her friend's house, Brook stopped in at Grady's Auto

Repair in Newport. The mechanic there, a local guy named Grady Henson, put oil in her car. I'm not exactly sure what else he did to her car. He may or may not have done something about the flat tire. It's unclear. In all the reports I've seen, it has been reported police did ping Brook's cell phone. They figured out that at some point during her drive to Circe, she made a fateful decision. She chose to turn around

and drive back toward Olstrough. We do know once she got there, she went to the residence of her first husband, Dustin and his wife. Brook's family has said they don't really know why Brooks stopped there. They have a theory that Brooke may have gone there in order to get Dustin and his wife to help her with a potential custody issue with her four year old son, maybe even to ask Dustin and his wife if they could take cut of her son. Now, this is all pure speculation.

This is something that Brook's family, knowing the situation she was in, believes might have happened, but we don't know for sure. And again it's unclear exactly what the relationship between Brook and Dustin was because it's all second and third hand. Some people say there had been friction in the past between Brooke and Dustin and that they had argued over child support payments. Then again, for whatever reason, on that day, she felt comfortable enough to stop at

his house. Dustin told police that Brooke did stop by, they spoke for a while, and then she left his house that morning. He said that after Brooke left the house, he never saw her again. Brook's father said that apparently Dustin had a step son who was in the house who saw a digital clock right when Brooke left, and

apparently that clock read ten thirty eight am. It's my understanding, from Brook's family and the limited information I've read so far, that Dustin and the people in his home were the last known people to have seen Brooke after Brook disappeared, her family began to get seriously worried for her. At first, they might have thought maybe she was just with a friend, but as the days went on with zero contact, they

knew that something must be seriously wrong. On July twenty sixth, her dad, Aubrey, filed a missing persons report in White County because that was where Brook lived. They gave police photos and went through her identifying characteristics. She was five foot eight, weighing one hundred and eight pounds. She had brown hair that had recently been dyed blonde, and Brook also had a very distinctive tattoo on the left side of her stomach. She has a tattoo that has GPS

coordinates for a specific location in Newport Now. Brook's father apparently felt that the police were kind of giving him the run around. At this point, White County put out a bolo or be on the lookout, but then apparently they told him he had to talk to police in Independence County, where she was last seen, So there was a little bit of a delay before the boo actually

went to Independence County. Then on July twenty seventh, the day after Brook's dad reported her missing, police found her car As we mentioned before, the black two thousand and seven Toyota Camery was under that bridge in Altrop. Again, the tire was flat, and actually looking at the pictures, it looks like more than one of the tires was pretty low. But it's very obvious that the front right

tire was completely flat. All the doors of the car were locked, all of brooks stuff was inside it, but there was no sign of brook So here's something else about the car that is a little bit strange. Remember, Dustin's young step son said the clock read ten thirty eight am when Brooke left the house on July twelfth. Now I have multiple media reports that say someone saw brooks abandoned car that same day, around forty five minutes later un to the bridge. Brooks's dad said there was

a guy on his lunch break who saw the car. Unfortunately, though that person didn't immediately report it to police. Someone described as a family friend of the Allensworth family told the news channel Fox sixteen quote it sat out here for about three weeks with a flat tire before it was picked up. End quote. I got more details on the timeline when the Independence County Sheriff Sheriff Stevens did

a Monday Night mystery program. Now this was in twenty twenty one, but in an interview, he said one of his deputies had noticed the car under the bridge and logged it, but since there was no sign of foul play, the deputy didn't connect that car to a missing person because the missing person's report, remember, wasn't filed until the twenty sixth, so for a couple of weeks. The sheriff actually said roughly two weeks, they just kept an eye

on it. The exact timing here would seem to me to be really crucial because if it's true that Brook's car was definitely seen by someone on that same day when she went missing on July twelfth, and it never moved after that, that would mean the window of time when Brooke could have disappeared would be considerably shorter. I made a freedom of information request for any information pertaining to Brooks car from both the Independence County Sheriff's Department

and the Arkansas State Police. The Independence County Sheriff's Department did get back to me. Sheriff Sean Stevens was helpful and released the information that they were allowed to release. So I have the incident report pertaining to Brook's car. There was some information there. Unfortunately, the report did not

confirm which day the car was first seen. It said that on Friday, July twenty seventh, the Sheriff's office was notified of a vehicle that had been sitting under the bridge for a couple of weeks, But it wasn't any more specific than that. It didn't say July twelfth, So I'm still looking for a way to narrow down that timeline to know for sure what happened to Brook on July twelfth, what happened when she was finished at Duston's house.

As you may remember from Ebbie Steppek's case, often when there's an open case like this, the police will write back and normally they'll say no information is available. But sometimes in a case where something occurred, like an abandoned car being logged before it officially became a missing person's case, sometimes we can get more information, which is what I'm trying to do. After the car was found and linked to Brook, several police agencies got involved, including the Arkansas

State Police. According to Brooks family, the Arkansas State Police investigators have conducted dozens of interviews and they have searched a large area. They dragged the White River and did a comprehensive search that covered eleven miles. Police did a ground search, They had a dive team out there, they used boat and they used cadaver dogs to search the banks around the White River, but never found any sign

of Brook. Of course, police did consider the theory because of where Brook's car was, that brooks remains could have been in the White River, either because perhaps she was in a depressed state of mind and decided to wander in herself somehow, or because someone who she met at that scene did something to her and then put her in the water. I do want to back up and say that there's absolutely no indication of Brook being suicidal

at all. In fact, she was making plans for the future, So I think that theory should have been eliminated pretty quickly if I were an investigator. However, they do have

to consider that possibility. According to Brooks family, Arkansas State Police investigators explored the idea that maybe Brook left the area with a friend, or that maybe her tire was running flat so she drove down the ramp to that access point and parked there and again over the years, the police have shared very little information except what the sheriff told reporters back in twenty eighteen, which again was quote it looks like she broke down, had a flat

left the car, and someone came through and she left end quote. Sheriff Smith did clarify on that Monday Night Mystery program that the police have taken other steps. He said they had swabbed the car for DNA and that they had sent the evidence from the car to the state crime lab. And this was pretty shocking to me. Actually, I know the Arkansas State Crime Lab has some pretty long delays, but in twenty twenty one, when this interview was done, the samples that were taken from the car

still had not come back from the crime lab. And I find that pretty shocking. Actually, Brook's family had hoped that law enforcement would find answers and that they would be able to bring her home, but it's been years and there's still nothing. In twenty twenty, Brook's case did make headlines again after another young woman was viciously murdered

in Arkansas. In August of twenty twenty, twenty five year old Sidney Sutherland was out for a jog near her home in Grubbs which is right outside of Newport l Like Brook, she vanished without a trace. This was in an area that Brooke regularly passed through. It was very close to Brook's father's house. Like Brook, Sidney disappeared in broad daylight. But unlike Brook, law enforcement found out what

happened to Sidney Sutherland very quickly. I'm sure that many of you are familiar with this story because at the time it was everywhere. It turned out that a twenty nine year old named Quake Llewellyn, who worked on his family's farm nearby and who actually was one of Sidney's acquaintances from high school, saw Sidney while driving down the road one afternoon, and, as he would later tell investigators, he had what he called a sick urge, so he

turned around and hit Sidney with his truck. Then he loaded her into the back, drove her to a secluded area, and viciously sexually assaulted her. Then he dumped her body in a shallow grave. Unlike in Brooks case, Sydney had a more regular routine, so when she didn't get home that afternoon from her run, her boyfriend reported her missing. Police immediately went out and scoured the area for her.

And they did something here that has been a huge help to law enforcement, but it's rarely discussed and it's a really controversial subject. They used a technology called fog Reveal to run Sydney's cell phone number. Fog Reveal was created by a company called fog Data Science. What fog Data Science and other companies like it do is aggregate location data for mobile apps, the apps that so many of us use every single day. You know that moment when you're using an app, maybe you're waiting for a

ride share to show up. That moment when it says on your phone, do you want to share location? And you click yes. Well, programs like fog reveal aggregate that data. They collect the location data and they give it to law enforcement and sometimes sell it to other entities. Normally, in a case, if law enforcement want to get access to someone's cell phone, they have to file a search warrant.

Then they have to wait to get the court order, and often there is a delay of at least a couple of days, sometimes weeks before it's granted by Google or Apple or whichever company they're asking from. The data from This is different. This doesn't allow police to read text messages or view phone records. What it does, though, is each device has an ID number that is linked to it. So what these services do is they can

track the movements of these specific devices. Law enforcement can also draw an area on a map and they'll specify a time range. The service shows a list of all so phone location signals, including the device ID within that area, so they don't provide the same thing as a search warrant. You can't read someone's text or get names or phone records, but you can follow people's movements, you can track their patterns of life. These searches are legal for now because

police claim they don't actually track the person. Instead they tracked the device. But as we all know, so many of us are basically surgically attached to our cell phones, so in a sense, following your smartphone is following you.

But this technology is actually how they caught Sydney's killer, because after they issued search warrants, police knew they didn't have any time to lose they used this technology and when they did, when they were able to find Sydney's cell phone and then to specify a list of other phones that were in that area at the time, it took them to Quake Llewellen. Meanwhile, Quake's family members were getting suspicious because he had dents in his truck and

he was acting weird. So long story short, it was not long before they pulled him in for questioning and he confessed to raping and murdering Sidney. He was charged with Sydney's rape and murder, in addition to kidnapping and abuse of a corpse. In the end, before his trial was due to start, his attorneys made a deal. The death penalty was taken off the table and he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parroll.

After Quake's arrest, Brooks family started to wonder about the things she said about being followed by someone in a truck. Especially after some of Quake's acquaintances started to come forward and talk about his creepy behavior. People started to wonder if he could be a serial killer. Today in Fort Smith also said they had reached out to someone who said quote he meaning Quake used to follow my friend, stalk her and try to get her to acknowledge him.

She was very uncomfortable around him. End quote. Today in Fort Smith didn't name the person he made those allegations. But it did make me wonder if Quake Llewellen could have about anything to do with Brooks disappearance. During that time, Quake became a member of a Facebook group dedicated to finding Sidney. He inserted himself into the investigation several times. He even helped the volunteer searchers. Quake showed up at Sidney's funeral and he hugged her mother, Maggie Sutherland, which

I find horrifying. Maggie, who said she was her daughter, Sidney's best friend and the last person to see her daughter alive, confronted Quake at his sentencing hearing as she made a victim impact statement for Sydney. Maggie said, quote, the hands you hugged me with are the same hands you killed her with. End quote. Since Brook's timeline is still vague, it's hard to rule anyone out, and we have no idea what Quake Lewellin was doing the day

that Brook went missing. It's been recorded that police did question Quake about Brook's disappearance. They said they would continue to question him until they were sure they could rule them out. But again, since police understandably keep things close to the vest, it's hard to see if and when that happened, if they did ever completely rule Quake out as Brooks killer, and if they did, how they did it. Now I should say that this FOG revealed technology is

not a magic bullet. I talked to a representative from the company Fog Data Science. They said that this technology is not perfect. And I know from hard personal experience if there is an area of the country that's going to be prone to patche cell service and to technology not working, it is rural Arkansas. But I have asked myself many times if this same technology that helped find answers in Sydney Sutherland's case could have been used in

Brooks case. A while back, I asked one of my colleagues, Mike, who I've worked with on former cases, and you may remember from season four of Hell Gone when we went to Little Rock to work on Ebbie Steppeck's case, is an expert in cell phone data and he's trained in this type of technology. What he told me was that, unfortunately Brooks data was too far in the past to track. And when I talked to the representative from the company,

they confirmed that. They said, now, because there is so much data out there, they used to have information that was a few years old, but now it basically stops at three years. But Mike was able to run a search on Quake Llewellen's phone from the time before he was arrested, and he found some interesting data there. He found that Quake llewellens regular route took him near the neighborhood where Brook's father lived at the time. Does this

mean anything? Could it be a coincidence? Possibly? It's a small town. But I keep coming back to that because Brooks's sister claimed that she was being followed and Quake did drive a truck, though not a brown truck. I'm still looking for more information on Quake Llewellen's activities during the weeks and months before Brook's disappearance. There is a listener out there who has any of that information. Even if you think it's something totally insignificant, Please reach out

back to Brooks case. In December twenty twenty one, there was a new controversy involving a YouTube channel called Adventures with Purpose or AWP. AWP is run by a dive team. It's a really long story and I feel that it's kind of a distraction from the investigation at this point, but I'm just going to give a brief synopsis. The guys from AWP came down and offered to search the area for free to dive into the White River and

some other bodies of water. According to Kelly, there had been some rumors that Brook's body had been dumped into a barrel and left in what's called Before Ponds area. Now I don't know where this rumor started. I've tried to verify it and I cannot figure it out. But since it's not totally implausible that Brook's body might be in a body of water, I can see why her family would want to investigate every possibility. Again, I think the idea that she would have wandered in the river

herself is ridiculous. This was a woman who was making plans to get custody of her son. She had just seen her children, she was talking about the future, and had literally just gotten her hair and nails done. A family friend of Brooks said that while the Arkansas A Police had searched the White River, they weren't sure if any other bodies of water had been searched. So the divers from AWP came down. They dove the four ponds area,

and also another nearby lake called Bergen Lake. They made a video and released it in late twenty twenty one. At the time, the dive team said they had not found anything of significance during their dive, but some people who saw the video and saw the sonar review that they had taken apparently saw what they believed to be a barrel with a skeleton in it. Now, there's some

other controversy here. One of the divers, Jared, made a video a follow up video where and this is just from what people have told me, because I've not seen this video. In the end, it seems like Kelly and some other members of Brook's family felt that the whole incident really just distracted from the investigation and started up a lot of rumors but ultimately gave them no answers

in terms of what actually happened to Brook. I felt bad for the family because it just seemed like something else that got their hopes up and in the end turned out to provide no answers. Now, I do want to make it clear that Adventures with Purpose has helped

on other cases. In fact, in twenty twenty two, the team went down to Marianna, Arkansas to look for Annie Hampton, a sixty six year old woman who'd been missing since twenty nineteen, and they did find her car in Bear Creek Reservoir, and there were human remains inside the car that turned out to be hers. So it does appear that adventures with purpose has helped in the past, unfortunately

just not in Brooks case. I have no idea if what we're doing here will help or provide answers, But I believe that we need to shut out all the rumors and we need to go again back to basics who had contact with Brooke last. We need to talk to them again and we need to find out what happened to her and to people out there. He would say, just let the police do their job. I understand that, and I will be passing everything that I find onto

law enforcement if we get tips. But I just want to point out that in twenty twenty one, when journalist Mitch McCoy did the Monday Night Mysteries program and talked to Sheriff Sean Stevens, the sheriff talked about brook cell phone. He talked about what steps law enforcement had taken. He said that the department did not have the technology to dump cell phones, but he said they'd gotten search warrants. He said they were in the process of executing those.

Why did they take three years? If I understood the sheriff's statement correctly, that means in twenty twenty one, Brook's cell phone had still not been processed. And there was also no mention of things like fog data services, which we know were around in twenty eighteen, even in twenty twenty, after Sidney Sutherland's case. Because the technology goes back three years, the Independence County Sheriff's office probably could have asked for

it at that time. So if that didn't happen, If I were Brook's family, I would be asking why that didn't happen. Why that same technology that was used to find Sidney Sutherland was not used to find Brook. I also want to know what happened to those DNA swabs in twenty twenty one, they were still being processed, were they ever processed? Where they ever tested? Was it Brooks DNA? Was there foreign DNA? There's so many unanswered questions about this case, including did Brook drive her car to that

location herself or was someone else driving it? Could the fresh mud on the car indicate that she had been driving through a different area. And again I keep mentioning if Brooke was meeting someone there, like the police seemed to believe, why would she get out of her car and leave her money, her wallet, all of her credit cards, and her cell phone inside. Kelly has always said this does not make sense to her. She said, quote, I never thought she was in the area, meaning the area

where the car was abandoned. Either she was meeting someone there or her car was put there end quote. Brook's family and friends continue to search for answers. They've held candlelight vigils on that same boat ramp several times since she disappeared. Whatever happens, they just want to know what happened to Brook, and they want to be able to bring her home. They posted a statement that was published on White River Now. It reads, in part quote, we

continue to search for Brook and search for answers. There are no words that can expel us the sorrow and chaos that clouds our hearts and minds. The day to day routine of our lives will never be the same from this day forward. We are committed to finding this beautiful, vivacious, compassionate mother. We are committed to never allowing Brook's voice and contagious spirit to be lost beneath the weight of

time or hidden from view as old news. We ask that you will continue to help us search, continue to help us cling to hope, continue to help us love our daughter, mother's sister, and friend. Above all, our prayer is that wherever Brook finds herself, that she's overwhelmed by the assurance that she is so loved, so completely and

deeply loved by so many. If you're out there and you had any contact with Brooke Allensworth, if you have any piece of information, no matter how insignificant, please please reach out. Police have asked anyone with information about Brooks whereabouts to contact the Arkansas State Police at eight seven zero nine three five seven three o two, and you can also contact us anytime at the Helen Gone Murder Line.

I know when we hear about these cases in the news, it can be easy to depersonalize them, to think of it as just another mystery. But this is someone's mother, sister, daughter, friend. She was just gone and they have no idea what happened to her. Just imagine if someone in your family disappeared. Imagine how much that would torture you. Please, we are asking anyone with any information to reach out. I'm Catherine Townsend.
