GEORGETOWN, Texas (KXAN) - In the nearly 10 years since a Georgetown teenager vanished after going on a routine jog around the neighborhood, clues to her whereabouts are few and any hope that the mystery of her disappearance will be solved grows dimmer.

Rachel Cooke was home from college on Christmas break when she set out on what was supposed to be a three- or four-mile run on the morning of Jan. 10, 2002.

Her parents, Janet and Robert Cooke, were at work. At 11 a.m., a neighbor reported seeing Rachel cooling off from her run. She was about 200 yards from her home in the Northlake subdivision.

And that was the last time she was ever seen.

“The odds are that she (was) fairly close," Robert Cooke said said in a recent interview. "But we searched and we searched and tried for months. And after a while we couldn't go out any further. The circle kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger.”
