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

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.
