Dawn Phillips was 26 and a mother of five when she disappeared from Grand Rapids, Michigan. She was last seen the evening of January 19, 1996, after giving two of her daughters a bath and saying she would make a quick trip to a nearby corner store. She did not return.

On October 1, 1996, children found human remains in a wooded area of Plainfield Township, in the 600 block of Canright Street NE. Dental records later identified the remains as Dawn’s. An autopsy ruled the death a homicide, but the case went unsolved for decades and became one of several similar murders and disappearances in the Grand Rapids area during the mid-1990s.

Does anyone have information about Dawn’s last known movements or the corner store she said she was visiting?
