In 2018, She Went Missing After Getting Her Hair And Nails Done, And 2 Weeks Later, Her Car Was Found Abandoned
Brooke Allensworth, a divorced single mother of three, completed a massive achievement back in 2012. That year, she graduated from the University of Arkansas with an Associate of Applied Science degree in nursing.
Afterward, she resided in a Searcy, Arkansas, apartment– located on Roundabout Circle– and worked at the Newark Medical Clinic as a Licensed Practical Nurse.
But, in 2018, everything changed for the Allensworth family after 37-year-old Brooke mysteriously disappeared.
It all began on July 11, 2018, when she went to get her nails and hair done at a salon located in Newark, Arkansas. After her appointment, Brooke never returned home and was never heard from again.
Then, over two weeks later, on July 27, 2018, her car– a black 2007 Toyota Camry– was discovered on Highway 122. The vehicle had been abandoned nearby the White River Access in Oil Trough, Arkansas.
“Someone called in about a vehicle sitting under a bridge. It was like it was just parked there and walked away from it. The keys were not in the car. And we have no information on who put it there,” recalled Independence County Sheriff Shawn Stephens.
Some of Brooke’s belongings were discovered inside the vehicle– including her cell phone and cigarettes. However, investigators found no sign of a struggle.
“We impounded the car and put a search warrant on it to get the information out of it. We searched the area. We spent a day and a half in the river looking for Brooke. We didn’t find anything,” Stephens explained.
Investigators believed that Brooke had been driving to Searcy, Arkansas, from Newport, Arkansas, when she got a flat tire. At that point, a passerby tried to help Brooke using a can of “fix-a-flat.” But, the temporary fix was not enough.

Authorities theorized that Brooke then pulled off the road and parked under a bridge close to a boat ramp on White River. Afterward, someone might have picked her up.
However, according to Brooke’s father, she was last seen on July 10 in the areas of Newark and Newport. Additionally, she was possibly in Searcy on July 12 after allegedly getting into a disagreement with her ex-husband.
Nonetheless, authorities have uncovered no evidence or motive for foul play in her case. So, she has remained missing, and her loved ones have continued searching for answers.
Online, Brooke’s family has created a Facebook page entitled “Justice For Brooke Allensworth” in hopes of spreading awareness about her case.
“Brooke, we need you to come home,” Kelly Avants, Brooke’s sister, said.
“I know that in my heart, she would not hurt herself. And she has never gone this long without having contact.”
At the time of her disappearance, Brooke was five foot eight, weighed between 170 and 185 pounds, and had brown hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing blue denim shorts and two left shoes– one a wedge sandal and the other a flip-flop.
If you have any information regarding her case, you are urged to contact the Independence County Sheriff’s Department at (807) 793-8838.
