Dashawn Leon McCormick was five years old when he was last seen in Anchorage, Alaska, on April 1, 2013. He had been in the legal custody of his father, Floyd L. Lee Jr., and was living with Lee and Lee’s girlfriend, Mary Transki. Dashawn is described as having blond hair and brown eyes.

Dashawn’s disappearance came to light after Lee and Transki were arrested on unrelated federal fraud charges. His mother, Jasmine McCormick, obtained custody in December 2013, but authorities could not locate Dashawn to effect the custody order. Investigators say no child other than Transki’s two children was seen living in the home at the time of the arrests, and law enforcement determined Dashawn had not been seen or heard from since April 1, 2013. Reports say the father has been uncooperative and that a witness alleged Transki once claimed to have killed and buried Dashawn; Transki has denied that claim.

The Anchorage Police Department, FBI, Alaska State Troopers and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children have been involved; an age‑progressed image was issued. The case remains open and active. If anyone had contact with Dashawn or saw him after April 1, 2013, please share what was observed.
