Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP27559) and 9 other sources
In the autumn of 1986, in the town of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, a 34-year-old mother of three named Rogene Annette Helm, who was affectionately known as Jeannie, vanished from her home. On the morning of October 1st, she was seen for the last time by her family. That day, Jeannie was dressed in a purple blouse and cut-off blue jeans. She had several pieces of jewelry on, including a four-stone birthstone ring on her left pinky, a wedding ring with a single stone, and another diamond ring with a large heart-shaped stone and two smaller ones. She also had $485 in cash with her. Standing between 5'2' and 5'8' with a slender build, Jeannie had distinctive features, including strawberry blonde hair, two piercings in each ear, and scars on her left breast and both calves. The day she disappeared was just one week before her son's tenth birthday.

The years following Rogene's disappearance were filled with uncertainty for her children. For a long time, her son was led to believe that his mother had abandoned him. However, as time passed, he came to believe that she would not have left her children and that she may have been a victim of a homicide. The details surrounding the day she went missing are scarce, leaving her family with unanswered questions. The investigation into her disappearance has remained open, with the Broken Arrow Police Department handling the case.

Decades have passed since Rogene Helm was last seen, and her case remains an active missing person investigation. Her family, particularly her son, has continued to seek answers and closure. The circumstances of her disappearance from her home on that October morning, coupled with the fact that she has never been heard from again, have created a painful and enduring mystery. The case is a somber reminder of a life interrupted and a family left to grapple with the unknown. The official investigation continues to seek any information that could shed light on what happened to Rogene Annette Helm.
