BROOKLYN PECK – Missing Since 10/26/2015
Brooklyn Peck was 21 years old when she disappeared on the morning of 10/26/2015. Around 2 am on 10/26/2015, Brooklyn left the home she was staying in, off of Hillside Drive, to meet someone at the Sunoco on US 19. Brooklyn never returned home and has never been heard from again. Her cell phone has not made any outgoing calls since the hours of 6:17 am on 10/26/2015. Brooklyn intended to return home for a court date on 10/27, as evidenced by the clothes she had laid out before she left. She was reported missing by her family on 11/10/2015. It is out of character for Brooklyn not to contact her family, and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance are suspicious.
Brooklyn was known to visit the Leisure Lane and Van Doren Avenue area in New Port Richey. She is 4’11, 100-115 lbs., with brown hair and hazel eyes. She has a large clock tattoo on her right chest, a large skull tattoo on her left chest, tattoos on both wrists, and writing from shoulder to shoulder on her upper chest. She also has tattoos on her left thigh and her ear. She has many piercings, including her septum and above her lip. Brooklyn is also missing the tip of her index finger on her left hand. Brooklyn was involved in sex work and drug misuse at the time of her disappearance. Many leads were related to these factors, and all have been followed up on with negative results.
When telling the story of her disappearance, it is important to note that Brooklyn is much more than the addiction she was experiencing or the work she was engaged in. Her family describes Brooklyn as a friendly, personable, caring human being. She was a loving daughter, niece, cousin, and sister. Brooklyn’s mother said she loved when the family was together – they would walk trails and go fishing. Brooklyn always went above and beyond, and she is a friend to everyone. Her family deeply misses her.
NPRPD has been working on this case in conjunction with the FBI since 2015. Detectives are actively searching for Brooklyn and appreciate any help the public can provide. If you have any information on what happened to Brooklyn, please contact Detective Corporal Joseph Ioppolo at 727-232-8905.
Crime Stoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to Brooklyn Peck.
