Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP17310) and 2 other sources

Diana Renee Loewen, 37, was last seen on the evening of November 2, 1997, in Rancho Cordova, California. At the time of her disappearance, Diana was transient, and she was last seen "dumpster diving" with a friend around 10:00 p.m. According to the friend, he had climbed into the dumpster, but when he came back out, Diana was gone. She has not been seen or heard from since.

Diana was described as being between 5'9" and 5'11" tall, weighing between 130 and 170 pounds, with red or auburn hair and gray or green eyes. At the time, she was wearing a shirt, Levi's jeans, earrings, and a baseball cap. Diana may have been using the last name "Brown" at the time of her disappearance.

Despite efforts by law enforcement, including the availability of both fingerprint and DNA records, no significant leads have been uncovered, and her case remains unsolved. The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department continues to investigate her case.
