Brookley Louks, 19
MISSING SINCE June 24, 2002
Police Offer Missing-Woman Case To FBI
Greenwood, IN--police have offered the investigation of a woman's 2002 disappearance and suspected death to the FBI -- a move some of her relatives had long wanted. Police said they welcome a fresh set of eyes on the case of Brookley Louks, who was 19 when she was reported missing on June 24, 2002.
Louks' grandfather, John Louks, said he wanted the FBI involved from the beginning. He said Thursday that he welcomed the request. "It was almost like (police) were trying to keep from certain things being uncovered. That's why we felt like an outside investigative force ... would be the ultimate," John Louks said.
Police said they believe Joseph Nowicki, an acquaintance of Brookley's who lived in Johnson County, killed her over a drug transaction, but he died of cancer in August 2003 and was never charged in the case, and her body has not been found.
Nowicki had been named a suspect in the case before he died at the age of 54. He denied involvement in Louks' disappearance, but he indicated to police that he knew enough to help them solve the case.
During the investigation, Nowicki was put in federal custody on firearms charges. "He did say when we interviewed him in prison, 'You want me to tell you where Brookley is at, but I am not because that's my little bit of fun,'" Greenwood police Detective Matt Fillenwarth said. Fillenwarth said he once asked Nowicki what he thought happened to Louks. "He looked me dead in the eye and said, 'I think she met with an ill fate,'" Fillenwarth said.
Louks, of Greenwood, used to do errands for Nowicki, who was a friend of her father's.

Sad there is no new news in this case. I have lived around all these areas, all my life. Paragon, waverly, martinsville, ect ect. Often fish at the henderson ford public access site, have for years. I heard from a morgan county officer that at one point, a police dog did hit on here scent at that bridge. Knowing where her car was found in relation to that public access site, and figuring Nowicki was well aware of the area as well. I really feel she is in that area. The area is laiden with heavy layers of leaves and debree that is brought in by constant seasonal flooding, which would hender her finding. Another problem is the fact that lots of local hunters dump their left over deer legs, heads and skins, as well as the dead animals that are often dumped in that area. For a police dog, I would think it would be an easy area to make a mistake, and personally I would like to see a detailed investigation, going above and beyond what was previously conducted there. Something lasting a few weeks, with dogs from the Kentucky units, who are well known. And state of the art ground equipment, as well as something that would resemble grid digs. I think with more effort, she would be found. Nowicki should have been subject to medieval torture until her body was located, his guilt sunk into us all. During my trips to the site, I have often took a few minute to do nothing but look, sometimes finding something that sparked my attention, up to and including one episode of finding bones that resembled human bones, and calling an officer to investigate them, unfortunatly they were in-fact Deer. At what point do you give up on something like this?......
To Anonymous,I worked with the morgan county sheriffs department on this case with my cadaver dog and have a few other leads at where she might be it is still in the same general area but I dont believe she is near the river. I would be happy to go out with anyone who wants to take a week-end to search. My cell phone # is 765-318-5056
Thanks,

My brother and I were friends of Brookley. He was a little a closer to her than I was. I hadn't seen her in the year or two previous to her disappearance, but still felt the blows. Brookley was a sweet, beautiful soul. She was almost always smiling and was always very helpful. She made some bad choices, like almost every teenager does, but in NO way was she a bad person. This was a good girl who had a lot of friends that loved her (and still do). She had a future. It's 2010 and I still think about her often. I spent my final high school years living a block away from the old man accused of murdering her. I agree with the earlier post that they should have tortured his old dying ass until he talked. Since he kept his mouth shut, I keep hope that maybe somewhere out there Brookley is still with us waiting to be found. May that old man have his soul raped in hell for all eternity. And if Brookley is still roaming this earth, God I hope we find her soon. If she is flying with the angels, I hope we find her to give her family peace and closure.
We all love you Brookley and we always will. We will never forget your beautiful soul or the smile that brought us all a little sunshine. We're still searching.
Your friend, Crystal Reed
I know it has been awhile since all of this has happened. I am sorry to hear about all of this!! Anyways, I will explain what I know. My friends aunt over dosed they say but I say different. She was dating the son of the man the was that know info on this child that is missing!! The aunt named " Jane " wrote in her dairy and told of this child. And he son read it. Anyways, the info I am giving that is the only thing I know is there is a baseball field in Brooklyn IN that has an open field behinde it and what I have been told that is where the man had his son dig.
I miss you Brookley!! I miss hanging out, going to eat at TB, etc...I can't wait to see you in heaven.
I watch a show on the ID channel (Investigation Discovery) every Monday night called Disappeared. It deals with real cases of people that have disappeared and still not found. It would be a really good way to get Brookley's story out there. Just an idea
i dont know why but some reason this case just poped into my head today,and i was wondering if anyone has ever searched the quarries at hydralic press in brooklyn?? i heard a story back about a year after she disappeared. i wont mention names but a guy told me that another guys son,who was very young at the time. came to him and was crying and said he was scared because he seen his dad with a knife and a girl wrapped up in his trunk,and he told him not to tell anyone. then he went on to say something about quarries out by brooklyn. well the guy that supposedly did this is a very scary/crazy man.i know because i have meet him and he scares the crap out of me plus he is known as a meth user/dealer. and was involved in the death of another girl in that area a little earlier.(due to drugs he gave to her) i dont know why suddenly this all came back to me but i just thought id share it...just incase. though im sure someone else has probably heard this story also and has said something..i dont know,i just wish they would find her and get closure. i dont want to put my name or contact info on here,and i do not want involved because those people scare me, but if anyone needs this info let me know a more private place i can message you this info,i would gladly let you know the names.

This is Brookley's sister....I need more info from you
Hi....this is Brookley's sister....Is the name mentioned aboved William Perryman? He has been investigated and they went to a prison down south just this past spring to talk to the son, but these people are so bad on dope (heroin) they "can't remember anything from back then" and no physical evidence :(
Do you know the name of the other girl? I have a friend he has been stalking because she got away from him and is trying to get clean. He keeps violating the protective order. I saw on mycase that he has a sexual molest case against a child back when he was in his 20's. As for the drug addict son, I would say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Do you know the other girls name? He is stalking a friend of mine because she got away from him and is trying to get clean. He keeps violating the protective order she has, but I am really concerned for her. As far as the son, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Also, what year were these murders? I do know that he has numerous violent charges on mycase including a sexual molest of a child.
