'Unusual and troubling': New Port Richey police still searching for woman who disappeared 10 years ago

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. (WFLA) — New Port Richey police are still looking for answers in the case of a 21-year-old woman who disappeared 10 years ago.

Brook Lynn Peck seemingly vanished on Oct. 26, 2015, after laying out an outfit for a scheduled court appearance the next day.

“This information, combined with her complete silence since then, is deemed extremely atypical and concerning,” the New Port Richey Police Department shared in a Facebook update. “Both her family and the investigators agree that it is entirely abnormal for Brook Lynn to be out of touch with her loved ones for such an extended period.”

Peck is 4’11” and weighs between 100 and 115 pounds. She has brown hair with hazel eyes and “several distinctive tattoos,” including:

  • A large clock on her right chest
  • A large skull on her left chest
  • Writing across her upper chest
  • Tattoos on both wrists, her left thigh, and her ear

Police said she also has multiple facial piercings, including her septum and above her lip, and is missing the tip of her left index finger.

Peck was commonly seen around the Leisure Lane and Van Doren Avenue area of New Port Richey. Detectives have explored leads related to her potential involvement in sex work and battles with substance abuse.

“Brook Lynn’s family characterizes her as kind, friendly, and loving—a young woman who fiercely valued her bonds with friends and family,” the police stated. “They hold onto the hope that someone in the community possesses the crucial piece of information that could provide them with answers after all these years.”

Those who have information about her disappearance are encouraged to reach out to the New Port Richey Police Department at (727) 841-4550 (select option one) or provide a tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
