Missing Woman's Grandfather Goes To Court For Case Info

FRANKLIN, Ind. -- The grandfather of missing Greenwood resident Brookley Louks is asking a court to give him access to information regarding an interview his son gave to police.

John Louks contends information that Scott Louks gave to Greenwood police before he died last year could help locate Brookley Louks (pictured, left), who was 19 when she was reported missing in June and is presumed dead.

The Johnson County prosecutor's office wants the interview information to remain private because the investigation is not finished.

John Louks' attorney has filed a motion in Johnson Circuit Court to have the interview unsealed.

Scott Louks, who was not a suspect in his daughter's disappearance, was 47 when he died of alcohol and methadone intoxication in November.

Scott Louks was a friend of Joseph Nowicki, who was named as a suspect in Brookley's disappearance.

Nowicki, of Johnson County, has not been charged in the case, and denies involvement. He is being held on firearms charges not related to Brookley Louks' disappearance.

Police in September said drops of what they believed to be Brookley Louks' blood were found on Nowicki's property. The blood was found during a search July 17, police said.

Louks, who sometimes did chores for Nowicki, was reported missing June 24. Police found her car in a restaurant parking lot in Waverly a few days afterward.
