More than a decade has passed since Brookelyn was last seen, and despite extensive investigative efforts, the case remains unresolved. Given the passage of time and the continued lack of answers, additional federal resources may significantly aid in furthering the investigation and potentially generating new leads. I understand and appreciate the diligent work the Kentucky State Police have devoted to this case. My request is made in the hope that a partnership with the FBI will enhance ongoing efforts and bring renewed momentum to the search for the truth about Brookelyn’s disappearance. Thank you for your consideration of this request, and for your continued commitment to seeking justice for Brookelyn and her family.

Something awful happened on that couch, he got rid of her body and burnt the evidence. Josh did it, 100%.

This case seems so obvious that it's actually upsetting. Did the police ever even check Josh's alibi that he went to a gas station? So sad, my condolences to her family.

i have been that 18 year old who doesn’t want to wake up mom but she insisted that i always wake her up if i wanted to come home. i always felt bad about doing it but now im a mom. i will tell my kids, my nephew, any of their friends, wake me up. i would much rather have them home safe and lose an hour sleep. i promise.

Him not being at least a person of interest is honestly crazy. I just sent an email to hopefully get the FBI involved.

This is such a good reminder to tell your kids that it will always be okay to just wake them up :(
