Helen J. Young was 34 when she vanished after leaving a relative’s home in Rochester, New York, on November 21, 1999. Family descriptions list her as a Black/African American woman, 5 feet 6 inches tall, about 135 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. On the day she disappeared she wore a waist-length black jacket, black jeans, a burgundy DePaul t-shirt, and black boots.

Her family provided several identifying details: a skull plate from a prior head injury and a facial beard caused by a hormonal abnormality when she did not shave. The Rochester Police Department opened an investigation under case number 99-407966, and the case is listed in NamUs as MP18409. The circumstances of her leaving the relative’s house that day are not publicly detailed, and no significant developments have been reported.

Does anyone in Rochester remember Helen or have information about where she might have gone after leaving that house on November 21, 1999?
