Carina Lynn Karras, known to family as Carrie, was 20 when she was last seen on New Year’s Eve, 2005. She was last observed at a Metra train station in Grayslake, Illinois, boarding a train en route to Las Vegas, Nevada, where she planned to meet a friend and start a new life. It is not confirmed whether she ever arrived in Las Vegas, and there have been no confirmed sightings or communications from her after she boarded the train.

Carina is described as having brown hair and brown eyes, standing about 5 feet to 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighing roughly 107 pounds. She has heart-shaped scars on both ankles and a scar on her neck. On the day she disappeared she was wearing a black jacket and blue jeans. The Chicago Police Department is investigating; family members say they and police followed various leads and contacted people who might know something, but those inquiries produced dead ends. The case is considered cold.

If anyone knew Carina, rode that Metra line on New Year’s Eve 2005, or has information about her intended contact in Las Vegas, please come forward.
