What Happened to Rachel Cooke?

Rachel Cooke was home from college for the holidays when she when she went out for a morning jog. Rachel never returned home that morning and it now four years later and there are still no clues as to her whereabouts. It was first believed that Rachel had possibly been in an accident where she'd been hit by a car while jogging but it later became apparent that something else had happened to Rachel.
Several searches turned up no clues, devastating Rachel's family who continued to wait patiently for answers. Who took Rachel and why?

Since Rachel's disappearance, her family has become advocates to help other families who have a missing loved one. As someone who tries to visit as many missing person events as possible, I've witnessed Rachel's dad in so many places. Many people know Rachel's dad as "RC". RC will often fly from his home in Texas to many of these events, going as far away as Aruba to assist in the search for Natalee Holloway. His knowledge of the missing person situation is one that I wish all families could have. I credit a lot of my knowledge of how to help and act on these serious situations from Robert Cooke.
I think of Rachel often and picture what could've happened that day. I wonder how long it will be before her family is allowed to know what happened that day and when Rachel can be found. I think of their strength through all the pain and suffering of not knowing.
As this anniversary date passes today, I continue to keep hope that answers can be found for Rachel Cooke's disappearance.
