Brookley Louks, 19, vanished from Greenwood, Indiana, after leaving her father’s apartment on June 24, 2002. She had returned to collect clothing and reported a stolen computer to police; shortly after officers left a witness saw her get into the passenger side of her blue Chevy Corsica with an unidentified man. Brookley told her mother she planned to stay at a friend’s house but never arrived.

Her car was found abandoned on July 1, 2002, about 10 miles away in Waverly near State Road 37 and Highway 144, but there was no sign of Brookley. Attention focused on family acquaintance Joseph Nowicki, who had prior convictions for murder and sexual assault. Investigators recovered blood matching Brookley’s DNA in Nowicki’s workshop and noted attempts to clean the area, though the quantity of blood did not indicate a killing at that spot. No charges were filed against Nowicki before he died in 2003; Brookley’s father, Scott Louks, was also questioned and died later that year.

The case remains unsolved and Brookley’s family continues to seek answers. Did anyone in Greenwood or Waverly see Brookley or her Corsica on June 24–July 1, 2002?
