Rachel Lea Cassidy, 40, was last seen in Youngstown, Ohio, on November 16, 2023. She had been homeless and often stayed on the city’s south side, and was also known to spend time in nearby Warren. Just before she vanished she had been released from a Youngstown hospital and borrowed a friend’s phone to call her sister; she reportedly did not have her own mobile device when she disappeared.

Rachel is described as a Caucasian female, about 5 feet 6 inches, with red or auburn hair, green eyes and distinctive tattoos, including the name Salvatore on her chest and a shamrock with the phrase Luck of the Irish on an arm. Her family reported her missing to the Youngstown Police Department on January 8, 2024, saying it was highly out of character for her to be out of contact for so long over the holidays.

The Youngstown Police Department is handling the investigation, and the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office planned a joint search effort. If anyone saw Rachel in mid-November 2023 or afterward, or knows where she might be, please contact the Youngstown Police Department.
