Hope Danielle Meek, 25, disappeared from her home on Section Line Road in Valliant, Oklahoma on February 21, 2002. Her husband Jerry said he last saw her about 3:00 p.m. before leaving on a planned camping trip with the children; he returned around midnight and found her gone. Her pickup truck, keys, eyeglasses, and cell phone remained at the house. Jerry did not report her missing for five days.

Friends and family said leaving without a word was out of character for a mother devoted to her three young children. At the time she vanished Hope was finishing a bachelor’s degree in criminal law and worked escorting prisoners for the McCurtain County Sheriff’s Department; she never returned to collect a final paycheck. One child later testified to seeing a fight between the parents that day and helping their father cut up a piece of bedroom carpet.

A decade later, in August 2012, Jerry Meek was arrested and charged with first-degree murder; a jury convicted him in November 2013 and he received life without parole. Hope’s body has never been found and the location of her remains remains unknown.

Did anyone in the Valliant area have contacts or memories about Hope’s routines or that February 2002 day that could shed light on where she went?
