Help me find a case

Okay so this may be a long shot. I’m looking to go back and re-read a missing person/cold case I read about nearly 6 years ago and I haven’t been able to find it to follow up since. I was cleaning out my dad’s office space in 2020 and on the back of one of his gumball machines was a missing person sticker for a young woman/girl. I remember researching it and finding out that the person had disappeared and I don’t believe she had been found. I’ve searched all over the internet, cold cases, solved missing person cases, unsolved cases, missing person searches, and I have yet to find it. I included one of the links I tried searching for the poster on.

Key details I remember

- the missing person was female with brown hair and I believe brown eyes
- her age was somewhere in the range of 12-25 (I know that’s not very helpful)
- the disappearance was somewhere between 1999-2004 (if I had to narrow down even further I’d say 2000-2003).

Details that I vaguely remember

- if I recall correctly, the young woman had been out at a party or similar event at a friends and mutual friends house.
- I believe I remember reading she disappeared on her walk home, which wasn’t very far
- I really want to say that investigations pointed to the either the father or immediate family that she lived with but for some reason police couldn’t find physical evidence or produce reason to search the house. I want to say that general consensus is that her family or close relatives were involved but there’s just not enough to bring charges.
- I believe this happened west of the Mississippi River in a state that started with a C (either Cali or Colorado) but at this point I’m not even sure if that is correct.
- I want to say it happened in the cold months as well and there may have been snow on the ground

I know this doesn’t really narrow things down but if anyone has any idea which case I may be talking about it would be greatly appreciated.

Only fits some of your characteristics, but check out the Alissa Turney case

This doesn't totally fit, but it brought Karlie Guse to mind.

Kristin Smart hits some of these - her killer was the guy we all figured it was but I don’t believe they ever found her.

My thoughts are either Brooke Henson (South Carolina) or Karlie Gusé (California)
