Fallon, Nevada

Ex-boyfriend of Missing Calif. Woman Questioned; Aunt Pleads for Her Return

The ex-boyfriend of a missing Daly City, Calif., woman has been questioned in connection with her disappearance. Police have declined to comment, outside of stating that Eric Prosser, 27, of Oakland, Calif., has been questioned and is cooperating with police in regard to the disappearance of Kenna Cook, 24, who drove through Fallon on May 22 and has been reported missing since May 23.

Marley Mirtz of Oakland, Calif., friend of Prosser and Cook, said, “He would never hurt Kenna. They broke up on good terms and were still friends.” Another friend of Prosser, Amelie Hudson of Pacifica, Calif., stated, “Kenna and Eric haven’t been together for over a month. He never threatened her or wished her harm. We all hope Kenna is found and that she’s safe.”

Emily Higgins of San Francisco, Calif., aunt of Cook, questions the focus by police on Prosser. “Someone knows what happened to her, and I’m sure that person is in Nevada. Kenna needs you to speak up, whoever you are.”

The Sterling County Sheriff’s Office asks anyone who traveled Route 50 on May 22 to come forward if they have any information.
