Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP143081) and 1 other source
Brooke Dorothy Lemer was 29 years old when she was listed as missing after being last seen in Los Angeles, California, on January 1, 2020. She is described in public missing-person records as a female with brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 7 inches tall and approximately 120 pounds. Some records identify her as Native American, and public case information notes that she may also use the last name Canfield or that her middle name may appear with an alternate spelling. From the beginning, the available public details were limited, leaving her loved ones and investigators with very little information about where she may have gone, who she may have been with, or what circumstances led to the concern for her welfare.

Although the case was connected to Los Angeles as the place where Brooke was last seen, the investigation was also tied to Montana. Public missing-person summaries have identified the Billings Police Department as the investigating agency, and Brooke’s case was associated with the Montana Missing Persons Clearinghouse and NamUs. That connection suggests that her family, law enforcement, or both had reason to seek assistance through Montana-based missing-person resources while still documenting Los Angeles as the location of her last known sighting. The limited information available publicly reflects a case in which the absence of clear answers likely made the uncertainty even harder for those who cared about her.

For a time, Brooke’s case appeared in missing-person databases and awareness postings with few details beyond her identifying information, her last known location, and the agencies connected to the case. Public reports did not provide a detailed timeline of her movements, a confirmed destination, a description of the last person to see her, or specific circumstances explaining why contact was lost. In cases like this, the lack of public detail does not mean the concern was minor; it often means investigators and family members were working with only fragments, hoping that someone with direct knowledge would come forward and help clarify what happened.

The investigating agency has reported that Brooke Lemer was found alive, and she is no longer considered an active missing-person case. The exact date and circumstances of her recovery have not been publicly detailed in the available information, so the resolution is best understood only in the broad terms that official reporting has confirmed: Brooke was located alive after previously being listed as missing. Overall, Brooke’s case began as a sparse and troubling missing-person report involving a 29-year-old woman last seen in Los Angeles, carried forward through public databases and Montana-linked investigative channels, and ultimately ended with the most important outcome possible for her family and community: she was found alive.
