Crime Stories with Nancy Grace: Mom and 3 Tots Vanish, Dad ‘Not Concerned’

by

Lauren Cook and her children were last seen on September 5. An investigation was launched after Cook missed a scheduled appearance in the Franklin County Juvenile and Domestic Relations court.

According to deputies, the husband says his family is safe, but he has not communicated with them.

Investigators added that they’re unsure whether she may have left after a dispute with her husband. Police have no records of domestic violence between the couple or any calls for help to their residence.

Lauren and the children could be in a blue 2013 Chrysler van with Virginia a license plate. Few other details are known publicly. There has been no activity on Cook’s bank or cell phone accounts since September 7, and the last known phone ping was in Lexington.
