Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP7533) and 6 other sources
Helen Van Beek, 46, was last seen around March or April 1998 in Daytona Beach, Florida. Van Beek was a familiar face in the local biker community, frequently attending events like Bike Week and Biketoberfest. She often visited biker bars around Daytona Beach, and was last known to be living with her boyfriend on Fairview Avenue. Her boyfriend reported to her daughter in May 1998 that Van Beek had packed her belongings and left their home with someone driving a white truck. After that conversation, her daughter never heard from Van Beek again, prompting her to contact the police.

Van Beek had no local family, and since her disappearance, there has been no activity on her credit cards or Social Security number. Despite efforts to locate her, the date of her actual disappearance remains unclear. Authorities have re-interviewed witnesses, and foul play is suspected, with a person of interest identified, though no charges have been made. Van Beek's case remains unsolved, and her whereabouts are still unknown.

The Daytona Beach Police Department continues to investigate, and her case is listed as a missing person case with suspicion of foul play.

Last Seen: Mar 1, 1998
