Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP23387) and 9 other sources
Dawn Marie Young, aged 26, was last seen on May 29, 2005, in Sacramento, California. Reports conflict regarding her exact location at the time—she was either downtown or leaving her father’s home in North Sacramento. Young, who had been struggling with heroin addiction, had recently relapsed after a brief recovery following a stint in rehab. Her parents reported her missing, but she has never been heard from since.

At the time of her disappearance, Young was known to attend raves in the San Diego area and had lost her identification after her purse was stolen. She had a distinctive butterfly tattoo on her right ankle and a four-inch scar on her upper left arm. Despite extensive searches, no significant leads have emerged, and her family continues to search for answers. The case remains unsolved, and the Sacramento Police Department continues to investigate.
