Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP101085) and 3 other sources
Diane Alexia Young, a 42-year-old woman, went missing on August 26, 1996, from San Francisco, California. At the time of her disappearance, Diane was described as being 5'4" tall, weighing approximately 120 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She vanished under mysterious circumstances, and her vehicle was later found abandoned near the north vista point of the Golden Gate Bridge, a site known for its association with disappearances and suicides. Despite extensive searches, no remains or further evidence of her whereabouts were discovered.

Diane's case has remained unsolved for over two decades, with very few details emerging since her initial disappearance. Investigators from the Pinole Police Department are still handling the case, but leads have been sparse, and her fate remains unknown.
