Family and friends of a missing Madison County teen are struggling with few answers after a long day’s search on Tuesday.
Brookelyn Farthing disappeared on June 22nd. On Tuesday hundreds of people scoured thousands of acres looking for her, but the day ended with no sign of farthing.
For family and friends, it’s been a long month since Farthing disappeared, everyday filled with sadness and frustration.

“We are all pushing through we aren’t going to give up,” said Farthing’s friend, Ashley Harrison. On Tuesday that hope pushed everyone to keep looking for Farthing in the Big Hill area of Madison County.
For more than ten hours Kentucky State Police combed through 16,000 acres and four bodies of water. They left no stone un-turned, but found no sign of Farthing.
“We are just hoping this is a positive step forward anyway,” said Farthing’s cousin, Tammy Turner.
Family said the more places checked, the closer they are. However, while the community is stepping up to help, they think other people are not.
“We desperately feel someone knows something and they are not coming forward,” said Turner.
Farthing was last seen at a home in Berea near the search area. The homeowner said when he returned, the house was on fire and Farthing was gone.
“Somebody has her or knows where she is at and they just aren’t saying anything,” said Harrison.
Farthing’s family is asking people who know the truth to speak up. “Please come forward, we are just kind of desperate right now for truth,” said Turner.
As loved ones pray for the truth to prevail, they hope for a happy ending, and if nothing else for closure. “Just closure at any point would be better than nothing at all as far as it is right now,” said Turner.
Farthing’s family has planned a benefit to help raise reward money. It will be on August 3rd at 10:30 a.m. at the Hog Trough in Richmond.
