Dawn Ann Solensky was 36 when she was last heard from on May 1, 1996, when she contacted her mother two days before Mother’s Day. She was living in Wesley Chapel, Florida, at the time and was known to lead a transient lifestyle and struggle with substance abuse. Despite those struggles she normally kept regular contact with her family, which made her sudden silence alarming.

She was not reported missing until October 1998, more than two years after that last contact, and that delay has complicated the investigation. Foul play is suspected, but no significant leads have been reported and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Dawn’s movements in spring 1996 or has information about her time in Wesley Chapel, please come forward.
