ROTO NOTES
Unfortunately, there isn’t much more information regarding Dana’s disappearance. Other than a few flyers from Law Enforcement and the typical missing person databases, not much is circulated about her online. The minimal media attention is what has drawn me to add her case here.
There are older posts from her family pleading for help from the public asking for anyone who may know something, to please come forward. I often wonder about the family in cases like this. How are they holding on when it seems they are the only ones that care what happened to their loved one? Then there is the media, the most powerful tool in bringing attention to a missing person, yet they are radio silent.
It seems that in a lot of these cases, if the individual may struggle with substance abuse or mental health issues, they fall by the wayside as if their current or previous lifestyle is to blame for their demise. It is no secret that in many instances certain lifestyles may increase the risk for danger, but it doesn’t ever mean they are deserving of the demise they may meet or that they lack importance.
Dana is a daughter, a sister, a mother, and likely now, a grandmother and I am certain she had a few close friends.
We will continue to research Dana’s case and add updates here as we can. In the meantime, please circulate her link. It’s been over 20 years and some witnesses may be long gone, but there is that chance that one person may know what happened to Dana and where she may be.
