Sixteen-year-old Shantelle Hudson disappeared from Dayton, Nevada, after an argument with her mother on the morning of November 14, 1988. She had moved with her family from Bishop, California, and had been in Dayton about two weeks. Around 7:30 a.m. she left the apartment on Dayton Valley Road and never returned; her mother reported her missing shortly afterward.

Shantelle is described as Native American, about 5 feet 5 inches tall, 120 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, wearing eyeglasses, a scar on her ring finger and a large birthmark at the base of her spine. Early after her disappearance there were a few reported sightings — one at a street dance two days later and two more within a month — but investigators now believe those were likely mistaken identity. Rumors about drug involvement and an unknown boyfriend were not substantiated.

The case grew cold until it was reopened in 1999 after a relative inquired. There has been no activity on her Social Security number and no record of a driver’s license. The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office still lists her as missing. Does anyone have information about Shantelle, her friends in Dayton in 1988, or the people she may have been seeing at the time?
