Case Story |
|
| |
A Tale Of Two Disappearances |
|
| |
This story begins in rural Montana where Esther Elizabeth Reed spent her childhood. Esther was the youngest of eight children and showed promise as an above average student. Esther loved to debate and thrived on her high school speech team. Unfortunately Esther took her parents divorce hard and she dropped out of school her sophomore year.
After her parents divorce, Esther and her mother moved to Seattle where Esther's troubles continued. She joined the debate team at the local high school, but didn't find it as satisfying as her team in Montana and quickly dropped out of high school again. Sadly after Esther mother died of cancer in 1998, Esther found herself lost and without any direction. Police say she started stealing.
The last time Reed's family saw her was in 1999. Reed had been accused of stealing a coworkers purse. Police say Reed pled guilty to those charges and was placed on probation. According to police, this was the last time anyone from Esther's family saw her. They filed a missing person's report in 2004.
In South Carolina, another family was filing a missing person's report. Police were investigating the disappearance of another young woman. Brooke Henson disappeared on July 4, 1999. Brooke was 20 when she vanished from the small town of Travelers Rest, SC. Police say Brooke disappeared after attending a party with friends. |

An Identity Crisis |
|
| |
In June 2006, seven years after both girls had last been seen by their families, their paths would cross in the most unlikely of ways.
Police believe that Esther Elizabeth Reed started attending Columbia University as "Brooke Henson." Police believe that Reed was living in New York City and going to school as "Brooke Henson" for almost two years. As police explored how the two missing persons cases were connected, they started to unravel a very long and twisted tale.
Police say that Esther Elizabeth Reed has traveled all over the United States under several different aliases. Police believe that Reed attended California State Fullerton and Harvard University. She has used the names "Natalie Bowman" and has also been known as "Natalie Fisher."
According to police, Reed has never run up any debt while using other people's identities. But police would still like to talk to Reed to find out just what she has been doing these past seven years and to find out why she uses other people's identities. |

Victimized Twice |
|
| |
Brooke Henson's family tells AMW that they feel like they have been victimized twice -- first when Brooke disappeared and now again, knowing that someone is living as Brooke.
Detectives don't believe that Esther Elizabeth Reed had anything to do with Brooke Henson's disappearance, but they would like to talk to her and hopefully bring closure to two concerned families.
