Jennifer Dawson, 39, was last seen in Berkeley, Missouri, on December 1, 2000, when she walked out of a shelter and never returned. She was described as a White female, 5 feet 1 inch, about 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, wearing a dark blue sweater with red stitching and blue jeans.

The circumstances around her departure are sparse; there are no reported sightings or confirmed contact after she left the shelter. Berkeley Police Department continues to list the case as open, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol classifies her as an endangered missing person. The lack of witnesses or leads has left the investigation cold despite the case remaining active.

If anyone saw Jennifer around Berkeley on or after December 1, 2000, or has information about her whereabouts, please contact the Berkeley Police Department.
