Keeper was reported missing in November 2023, after her family hadn’t heard from her in several months. She was 32 at the time she went missing, and had two young children.

Police are investigating her death as suspicious, but Marilyn Courchene, Keeper’s aunt, says the family is still looking for more details.

“I want answers. What happened within those three years, what happened with the remains, where did they find the remains?” says Courchene.

“Who’s there, who played the roles in finding her? We don’t know any of that.”
