Details of Disappearance

Cooper was last seen driving away from her home near Howey Road and Weldon in north Columbus, Ohio on August 31, 2021. She was driving a black 2009 Ford Fusion. She left home at 11:30 p.m. to go to a convenience store, never returned and has never been heard from again. She was reported missing the next day, September 1.

Weeks later, the vehicle was found abandoned on the west side of Columbus. Authorities were able to gather unspecified evidence from it, and stated it did not have its original license plate when it was found.

It's uncharacteristic of Cooper to be out of touch with her family. Foul play is suspected in her case, which remains unsolved.
