Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP11293) and 3 other sources
Debra Ann Young, a 32-year-old woman from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was last seen on November 4, 1998. At the time of her disappearance, she was described as being 5'6" tall and weighing around 105 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Debra had distinctive physical features, including a burn scar on her left shoulder, a scar on her right forearm, and a mole on her thigh. She was also cross-eyed.

Debra was known to have struggled with drug addiction, and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain unclear. She was last seen in Broward County, and despite efforts from law enforcement and her family, no significant leads have emerged in her case. Her case remains listed as an endangered missing person, and investigators continue to seek information that could provide answers about her whereabouts.

There have been no updates in her case in recent years, and like many other long-term missing person cases, it remains unresolved, leaving her family searching for closure.
