Saturday marks two years since Rachel Cooke disappeared while jogging near her Georgetown home.

Since then, law enforcement and dozens of volunteers have searched for any clues that could explain her disappearance.

And after years of searching and investigation, her whereabouts are still unknown.

On Saturday night, friends and family gathered to remember Rachel at the Faith Lutheran Church in Georgetown. It was a reunion of sorts for the people whose lives were touched by her.

"Everybody I see here had some kind of connection to her. It makes me feel closer to her," friend Tasha May said.

Friends and family remembered the good times through pictures, song and even a little humor.

"First thing that comes to mind is that Rachel would kill us if she knew you had all these photos up," friend Ashley Ables said.

Rachel's loved ones are still hopeful investigators will find new information about her disappearance.

"I'm gonna call Sheriff Wilson next week; we agreed to set up a meeting. [Rachel's mother] Janet and I and he will sit down and talk about what we can do to help Rachel's case because it's a partnership," Rachel's father, Robert Cooke, said.

Rachel's Aunt Diane Cooke expressed a sense of renewed hope now that Williamson County has a new sheriff, who also attended.

"With Williamson County, you've got a new start and I challenge you Sheriff Jim Wilson, please find Rachel," she said.

"We're going to do everything we can to review the case and see what we can do," Wilson said.

The Cooke family also thanked members of the Georgetown community, law enforcement and the media for their help during the past two years.

Rachel's family is optimistic their experiences will help others coping with the estimated 100,000 missing people in the United States.
