Listed with NCMEC Listed with LostNMissing Inc Listed with NamUs Case #12180 Listed with the NCIC System CAN BE ANYWHERE IN THE USA!! Most Possible places: Vermont Alaska Nevada Arizona Michigan By BEN HOCKING ben.hocking@hillsdale.net Jodi Avery of Pittsford has been looking everywhere for her 16-year-old runaway daughter, Brooke Avery, since she ran away while visiting her sister in Barre City, Vt. The last time Jodi, or the Barre City Police Department (BCPD) can confirm anyone saw her was March 20. Brooke had been in Vermont since March 13, and was under the supervision of her uncle when she ran away, according to Jodi. She was with her sister the day she disappeared and said she was going to a restaurant to meet a friend’s family for dinner. “Brooke went down the street, and she hasn’t been seen since,” Jodi said. Neither Jodi nor the BCPD believe Brooke was kidnapped, since she left a note with her sister and was carrying a large orange duffel bag. Brooke is listed as an endangered runaway by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and is listed at 5 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs approximately 100 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes. Two of Brooke’s distinguishing features are small scars on her eyelids and a birthmark on her right arm near her elbow. Jodi said she received a letter in April from her daughter postmarked from Nevada and suspects someone Brooke knows is helping her stay undetected. “I know she’s in Reno right now,” she said. “Where else could she be?” BCPD Chief Tim Bombardier said he did not believe Brooke was in Vermont any longer, and could be in Nevada or Michigan. Bombardier said the police have followed up on several leads in trying to track down Brooke, including some provided by her mother, but have not been able to locate her. “Most people are easy to find but this young lady has been hard to pin down,” he said. “If you want to disappear, you can.” Bombardier said reliable information in the case has been hard to come by. “If she is reaching out to someone, they are not telling us,” he said. “I don’t think we are going to get a lot of information unless she comes back to Vermont.” Jodi and Brooke’s doctor, Dr. Ravi Yarid, eluded to the fact that Brooke could be suffering from emotional problems that have led her to run away. “There are definitely issues there and that can complicate things,” Dr. Yarid said. Both Dr. Yarid and Jodi said they have had issues with the BCPD investigation. “I tried to contact the officer investigating and never heard back,” Dr. Yarid said. Jodi said she questioned how diligently the BCPD was searching for her daughter.
