Current Case

CASE NO. 001

CASE OPEN

Gina Dawn Brooks

Fredericktown, Madison County, Missouri

Gina Dawn Brooks disappeared at 13-years-old without a trace. Her disappearance prompted one of the largest search efforts in Madison County's history, involving local law enforcement, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the FBI, and hundreds of volunteers. More than three decades later, Gina has never been found, and her disappearance remains an active, unsolved missing persons case. But the questions never stopped — and neither did we.

LISTENER TIPS

Do You Know Something?

Every case starts with someone who noticed something. A neighbor who saw a car that didn't belong. A family member who was told to stay quiet. A witness who was never asked. If you live in a small town with a story that never made the news — we want to hear it.
