Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9685) and 6 other sources

Dawn Ann Solensky, aged 36, was last heard from on May 1, 1996, when she contacted her mother two days before Mother's Day. Solensky was living at a residence in Wesley Chapel, Florida, at the time. Known to have led a transient lifestyle, she was struggling with substance abuse issues. Despite these challenges, she consistently maintained regular contact with her family, making her sudden disappearance alarming.

Solensky was not reported missing until October 1998, over two years after her last communication. This delay has complicated the investigation into her disappearance. Foul play is suspected in the case, though no significant leads have emerged. Authorities continue to search for information that could provide answers regarding her whereabouts. Her case remains unsolved.
