One year ago Friday Rachel Cooke went on a morning jog and never came home. After countless searches and dead-end leads, the Georgetown community came together again to remember her at a tree dedication ceremony.

Joni Linsdey won't run after dark. "I don't want anything bad to happen to me. I try to take precautions," she said.

Lindsey isn't the only person in Georgetown that changed her step.

"There is more of a threat than what I thought before. I'm more careful when I go running," said former classmate Angie Fuchak.

Rachel's father Robert Cooke is slowly learning to live with the pain of losing his daughter.

"It's been the hardest year of life. It's hard to describe how to wake up with this, living with it every single night of every single day," he said.

"Hopefully be able to direct them to the right person, and if I need to get involved personally, I'll do so," he said.

Robert Cooke said detectives are still chasing down leads that may lead to Rachel's whereabouts. He wanted to thank the community for offering their support over the past year.
