New age progression photo could help find mom missing for 14 years
Reported by: Angie Larsen
Last Update: 4/02 6:49 pm

A young woman in Murray is hoping technology can help her find her mother who went missing 14-years ago. A new age progression photo could shed new light on this cold case.

1994 – Happier days for then 5-year-old Stephanie Cook – the days before her mom Bobbi Ann Campbell vanished at the age of 24.

“She never would go anywhere without me, she wouldn't have just left me cause we were best friends,” expresses Cook.

Two days after Christmas, Bobbi Ann Campbell left her friend's house in the area of 1000 South and 400 East in Salt Lake City. She wanted to cash her check at the bank and go to the grocery store. She never made it to either location, she simply disappeared.

A year later, police found Campbell’s car near the Jordan River at 200 South 1100 West.

“All her cosmetics were in it; her clothes were in it, and her money. The car was unlocked,” states Cook.

There was no evidence of foul play and no leads. Campbell is one of 62 missing people listed on the Utah Department of Public Safety website.

Cook is now 19. She was raised by her great grandparents. But to this day she longs for answers about her mom.

“I need to know. It just gets harder. She wasn't there for school, for my wedding. It's been hard not having a mom,” says Cook.

An organization in Nebraska wants to help Cook. Project Jason was launched when the founder's own son went missing eight years ago.

“The reason it was founded cause in this journey of missing loved ones, we found there are so few resources for families with missing adults,” explains Kelly Jolkowski, Founder of Project Jason.

The non-profit organization donated an age progression photo to Cook. It's a rendition of what Bobbi Ann Campbell may look like now at age 38 based on forensic compositing.

“It’s so critical to know who we're looking for,” states Jolkowski.

Jolkowski states one in six missing persons is found as a result of a visual aid.

“She deserves to be found, whether she's alive or if not,” expresses Cook.

If you have any information about Bobbi Ann Campbell's whereabouts, please call the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office at 801-743-7000.

Family hopes new photo will break 15-year-old Salt Lake County case
By Pat Reavy

Stephanie Amandia Cook was only 5 when her mother disappeared, but she remembers everything about her.

"We were like best friends. She never went anywhere without me," Cook said. "I remember so much about her. I remember everything about her."

Cook's mother, Bobbi Ann Campbell, disappeared nearly 15 years ago and has seemingly vanished without a trace.

A few days before Christmas 1994, Cook said her mother, who was 24 at the time, dropped her off at a friend's house while she went to run a few errands including the bank and the grocery store. Her mother said goodbye, then walked out the door, got into her car and drove away. It was the last known time anyone has seen her.

Campbell never made it to the bank or any of the places she said she was going.

Campbell's car was found about a year later near the Jordan River. Everything she had kept inside the vehicle was still there, Cook said. But the case went nowhere for investigators, which is where it remains today.

"It is cold and has remained cold," said Salt Lake County Sheriff's Lt. Don Hutson. "There has been no activity on her credit cards, no activity with any of her financial devices or anything. It's a mystery disappearance."

Today, Cook is 19. She hopes a new age-progression photo created by the group "Project Jason" will spark new leads in the case.

"It's been 14 years. It gets harder everyday not knowing. It's hard to take care of," Cook said. "I think about her constantly. I look at her pictures, watch the home movies of her every day."

Investigators compared the remains of a woman found near Saltair in 2000 with Campbell's DNA and dental records. But officials determined the so-called "Saltair Sally," who remains unidentified to this day, was not Campbell, Hutson said.

Cook said the photo gives her new hope. She encourages anyone who sees anything, "no matter how small," to contact the sheriff's office at 801-743-7000.

When she disappeared, Campbell had blondish/light brown hair and blue-green eyes. She was 5 feet 1 inch tall, 105 pounds and had a two-inch scar on her right shoulder. She also had a tattoo of a rose on her left calf and a mushroom and sunbeam on her right leg.

Project Jason is a non-profit group aimed at helping family members find missing loved ones. It was started by a woman whose 19-year-old son went missing eight years ago.

Bobbi Ann Campbell, Murray

Campbell was 24 when she disappeared Dec. 27, 1994. She was reported missing Jan. 7, 1995. Campbell left her then 5-year-old daughter Stephanie at a friend's home in Salt Lake City while she ran to pick up a paycheck and then go to the bank and grocery store. She never picked up the check. Police believe she was spotted months later in a park. Family found Campbell's car about nine months later parked in front of a home near the Jordan River at 200 S. 1100 West.

Families of the missing want solace
Disappearances » Utah's official database lists 56 persons, including Susan Powell.

Missing People
Jan 3:
Missing Persons from Utah » A Partial ListFor 15 years, Stephanie Amandia Cook has marked her mother's disappearance by writing her a letter and sending it skyward with a bunch of balloons.

The letters detail Cook's life and things she wishes they could have shared together. This year Cook, who was 5 when her mother Bobbi Ann Campbell vanished on Dec. 27, 1994, wrote about her wedding.

"Every year that goes by is just another year that people put it behind them," said Cook, 20. "It is just harder to keep the hope."

And every time there is news that a mother is missing, the heartache intensifies. This time, it is Susan Powell's story that has riveted Cook. Powell, mother of sons ages 4 and 2, was reported missing from her West Valley City home on Dec. 7.

"I just hurt for those little kids," Cook said. "I pray that they don't have to grow up with no answers like I did."

That pain is shared by families throughout Utah who have had loved ones disappear with few clues to what happened to them or why. The Utah Missing Persons Clearinghouse, the state's official database, now features Powell in addition to 55 others.

Of those, 42 are adults ages 19 or older. A majority -- 26 -- of those adults are men. A number of cases on the list involve suspicious circumstances that suggest foul play. Names are added only with permission of family or law enforcement.

It's not a complete list, acknowledges Gina McNeil. Across Utah, missing persons reports pour in

daily. In Salt Lake County, for instance, the sheriff's office had received 157 reports in 2009 as of Dec. 30 -- a count that doesn't include runaway children.

Spokesman Don Hutson said most cases are resolved quickly after a person returns or is located and relays they left by choice. Those that make the state database stay there until a person is found or a body recovered. Kiplyn Davis of Spanish Fork is listed, for example, though authorities and her family believe she was killed after she disappeared in 1995.

The oldest case dates to the 1970s: Jennifer Klein, 3, disappeared in May 1974 while camping with her family in Moab near a river. Klein's entry notes her family doesn't recall anyone at the campground being interviewed or vehicles searched.

Since then, investigative techniques, technology and media have vastly altered efforts to locate missing persons. Information about Susan Powell, for instance, spread worldwide via the Internet within days of her disappearance.

Advances in DNA matching have allowed investigators to rework old cases, as has age progression imaging.

Bobbi Ann Campbell's case is one that received new attention earlier this year after the group "Project Jason" released a photograph that showed how she might have aged.

Campbell was 24 when left her daughter with a friend while she picked up a paycheck from SOS Staffing Services in Salt Lake City, went to the bank and then the grocery store. She never picked up her check. Investigators believe Campbell, who had struggled with drugs, was spotted about six months later at a park.

That fall, Campbell's vehicle was found abandoned in front of a home near the Jordan River. Inside the vehicle, family found her makeup, purse, clothes and even Christmas presents from the previous year.

Cook, who was raised by her great-grandparents, said they did everything they could to find her at the time. Several years ago, Cook took up the charge and contacted every missing persons Web site she could find to spread word about her mother. Cook also submitted a DNA sample that could be compared to any unidentified bodies found.

"I pass out fliers once every so often," Cook said. "I did it this summer at Liberty Park because that is where we would hang out all the time when I was little. That is all I can do.

"I hope that something happened and she is just confused and scared to come home," Cook said. "I honestly don't think she could have left me because of how close we were."

Occasionally, a missing adult resurfaces -- or Sarah Jensen of Orem.

Jensen left home on May 25 to camp for a few days in southern Utah. Jensen's family reported the 31-year-old mother missing a week later when she failed to return home. As a search began, Jensen's parents said their daughter would "never, never" have left her 5-year-old son for so long, said Hutson.

Three weeks later -- as Jensen's family prepared to hold a candlelight vigil -- Jensen was pulled over during a routine traffic stop in New Mexico. Jensen told police she had been staying with friends and had not wanted to be contacted for a while, though she did return to Utah at that point.

In such cases, there is little police can do, Hutson said.

"It is not a crime to walk away from your marriage, to walk away from your job or leave your family behind," he said.

Sometimes, there are sad discoveries.

In November, 51-year-old Katherine S. Doutre of Hooper disappeared after dropping off her son at Roy High School. Doutre did not take her cell phone, wallet, car or keys and was distraught; she had taken off in the past for hours but always returned. When a day passed, family contacted police. Searches turned up nothing, though there were several credible sightings of Doutre.

A month later, Doutre's body was found in a previously searched field near West Haven. Police determined she had died of exposure, probably not long after she disappeared.

Often, though, a missing person is never found.

Family are left with unanswered questions and, at some point, the sad tasks of cleaning out homes, disposing of possessions, ending marriages, taking care of estates and other legal matters.

Lee "Bill" Frost never got over the disappearance of his daughter Debra, who was 17 when she vanished in 1984. She was last seen around 10 p.m. in downtown Salt Lake City, at the Mountain Bell Plaza.

Frost, a taxi driver, died in 2005. His obituary noted that Debra's disappearance "sadly altered Bill's life forever." Later that year when his estate was settled, a court ordered that Debra's shared be given to her siblings.

The daughters of Janis Stavros, missing since Jan. 3, 2001, had their mother declared legally dead last year, said Stavros' ex-husband Mike.

Mike Stavros and his ex-wife, her boyfriend and daughter Meghan Laudie had a dinner together on Jan. 2.

He said that "at some point things got weird" and Stavros and her boyfriend left about 10 p.m. to return to her Millcreek home.

The next day, Stavros' daughter could not reach her and sounded the alarm. Her boyfriend told police Stavros was home when he left for work earlier that morning. Police found her vehicle, purse and cell phone in her home, but Stavros was gone and searches turned up nothing.

"There is absolutely nothing new," Mike Stavros said. "I wish there was.

"It's impossible to not endlessly wonder what happened," said Stavros, who now is remarried. "We know she's gone, that is all we know. When you get no answers, there is an empty feeling that goes with that."

Hutson said Stavros' case haunts him. He was a sergeant when Stavros disappeared and worked on the investigation.

"It was literally as if she was wiped off the face of the earth," he said. "Nothing was taken. It wasn't like she was in a bad marriage. There were no signs of a struggle in the home and all her belongings were left at home."

Dennis Montague, whose wife Lark Mosher Montague disappeared in September 2007, said that search also "hit a dead-end street." She drove off in the early morning and hasn't been seen or heard from since.

"We can't find the car or anything," he said. "We can't find nothing."

Meantime, her family has marked time and family events without her, including the death of her youngest son last year. His obituary listed his mother, but did not mention that she is missing.

Hutson said it becomes more difficult to solve cases as times passes without new information or evidence.

The one thing that doesn't change?

"There are families who would appreciate having some answers," he said.
