Courtney Corrinna Holden, 26, was last seen in Spokane, Washington, in the summer of 2018; the exact date remains uncertain. Neighbors and friends described her as isolated and controlled by her adoptive family—her adoptive mother Judy Holden and adoptive brother Joshua Holden—and said she rarely left the house without permission and had visible bruises she attributed to Joshua’s abuse. A neighbor saw Courtney try to leave with a duffel bag while saying she wasn’t staying, only to have Joshua carry her back inside.

No one outside the immediate family reported seeing her after that summer. A welfare check requested in October 2019 prompted police to the Holden home, where Judy and Joshua gave conflicting explanations for Courtney’s absence and resisted cooperation. Investigators found Judy and Joshua had been using Courtney’s bank account and food stamps after she was last seen. The Holdens moved out suddenly, taking pets and the DVR from their surveillance system.

Family and investigators believe Courtney would not have willingly abandoned her son and consider foul play possible. Does anyone have information about Courtney’s movements in 2018 or contacts who tried to reach her that summer?
