Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP10822) and 5 other sources
Diane Lynn Brooks, a 32-year-old woman, was last seen on September 8, 1995, at a Salvation Army shelter in Austin, Texas. She has not been heard from since that day. Brooks is described as being 5'7" tall, weighing 110 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. She has a noticeable surgical scar under her left breast from heart surgery and a tattoo between her thumb and forefinger.

At the time of her disappearance, Diane was possibly struggling with suicidal thoughts. There is speculation that she might have returned to the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, area, where she had previously lived. Despite efforts by law enforcement and her family, no significant leads have emerged, and her case remains unsolved.

Her case is classified as endangered missing, and multiple agencies, including the Austin Police Department and the Texas Missing Persons Clearinghouse, are continuing their investigations. Anyone with information is urged to contact authorities.
