Deborah Suzzanne Johnson, a 26-year-old woman, has been missing from Phoenix, Arizona, since the early summer of 1997. Her last confirmed physical sighting was on May 27, 1997, at approximately 7:28 PM, when she was seen leaving the Madison Street Jail, located at 225 West Madison Street. A short time later, on June 6, 1997, around midday, Deborah made a telephone call to her mother from an unknown location within Phoenix. This phone call would be the last time her family ever heard from her. Since that day, there has been a complete and worrying silence, leaving her loved ones without answers. At the time she vanished, Deborah was described as a Caucasian female, standing between 5'7" and 5'8" tall and weighing approximately 180 to 190 pounds. She had brown hair and brown eyes. Deborah had several distinct physical features that might make her identifiable. Her ears and tongue were pierced. She also had two tattoos: one of a Tasmanian devil on her right ankle and another tattoo on one of her shoulders. These details create a picture of the young woman whose sudden disappearance left a void in the lives of those who knew her. The authorities have stated that foul play is suspected in her case. The days turned into weeks, and the weeks into years, yet no trace of Deborah has ever been found. Her family has endured decades of uncertainty, holding onto the memory of her last phone call. The Phoenix Police Department is handling the investigation into her disappearance. The circumstances surrounding her case remain troubling; a young woman vanishes without a trace after being released from custody and making a brief call to her mother. The lack of any further contact or evidence has made this a challenging and cold case, a summary of a life interrupted and a family left waiting for any information that might bring them peace and resolution.
