The episode discusses the mysterious disappearance of 16-year-old Brooke Hill and features her cousin sharing insights into the case.
How does a 16-year-old girl vanish into thin air and remain missing for nearly three decades? This week on Locating the Lost, we are reopening the chilling 1997 cold case of Brooke Elaine Hill.Brooke was last seen in Morgan County, Indiana, before being reported missing from Putnam County. For 30 years, her trail has been cold—no paper trail, no CODIS entry, and far too many unanswered questions. Joining us is Brooke’s cousin, Alisha Schwab, who is breaking the silence to share the real story of the girl behind the poster and the tireless fight to finally bring her home.The Theories We’re Diving Into:The 'Runaway' Narrative: Was Brooke truly a runaway, as originally reported, or was that a cover for something much darker?The Florida Connection: Did Brooke really make it to Florida, or is this a decades-old red herring?The Unidentified: Because Brooke isn’t in the CODIS system, could she have been found years ago and remains a 'Jane Doe' today?Someone, somewhere, knows what happened that night in Indiana. It’s time to find the truth.Listen now and help us bring Brooke home.Follow the missing Brooke Hill FB page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... Follow us on all social…
