MIRAMAR, Fla. – It has been a month since Courtney Babb, an aspiring singer who enjoyed visiting the library and lived with a roommate in Miramar, vanished, police said.
Detective Susan Smith said Babb does suffer from “mental health challenges.” Her mother, Roberta Robison, said she was never one to miss her birthday celebration or Mother’s Day.
“She is a vulnerable person,” Smith said adding that she is concerned that someone may be taking advantage of her.
Babb’s relatives described her as “bubbly,” “sweet,” and “fun to be around,” and said this is the longest they have gone without communicating with her.
“We do have more questions than answers,” Smith said.
Smith said Babb’s roommate is a man who at some point had a romantic relationship with her. Smith said she had a backpack with some personal belongings.
“The roommate has been fully cooperative,” Smith said.
After she vanished on April 16, detectives described her as 5-foot-5 inches tall and weighing about 120 pounds. Babb was 29 and her loved ones in Miramar hoped that she celebrated her 30th birthday and is safe.
On Tuesday, The Miramar Police Department held a news conference to ask the public for help on Tuesday morning at City Hall.
“We need the community’s help,” Smith said.
Detectives were asking anyone with information about the case to call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477. Smith said there is a reward of up to $5,000 for information.
