Summary based on 8 sources

Rebecca Jean Dunn, a 21-year-old resident of Las Vegas, Nevada, vanished in the spring of 1979 under suspicious circumstances. In early 1979, Dunn, who sometimes used the aliases Babbette Powers or Sandy Long, traveled with a female companion to San Diego, California. The two women were accompanied by two men, one of whom was reportedly their pimp, with the intention of working as prostitutes.

Dunn was last seen in April 1979, although the exact date is not consistently reported, with some sources indicating April 1, 1979. At some point after their arrival in San Diego, Dunn disappeared and has not been seen or heard from since. Her female friend later returned to Las Vegas without her, though the details of what she reported to investigators are not widely available.

The circumstances surrounding Rebecca Jean Dunn's disappearance are limited, but authorities suspect foul play. Her case is classified as an endangered missing person. Dunn is described as a Caucasian female with blonde hair, green eyes, and a distinctive bump on the bridge of her nose. At the time of her disappearance, she was 5'8" tall and weighed approximately 150 pounds. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is the investigating agency for her case.
Last Seen: Apr 1, 1979
