COURTNEY HOLDEN

At the time of her disappearance, Courtney Holden was living in a home with her son, her adoptive mother, Judy, and her adoptive brother, Joshua. Many knew about the abuse Courtney was experiencing, but Courtney never received the help she so desperately needed.

Judy and Joshua were known to refer to Courtney as “Cindy” – short for “Cinderella” – in reference to the amount of household chores they made her do.

A neighbor recalls seeing her leave the house, carrying a large duffel bag. Judy had chased after her, telling her to come back, to which Courtney had responded, “I’m not staying here anymore.” The incident ended with Joshua forcibly picking Courtney up and carrying her back inside the residence. This was the last time Courtney was seen.
