Sandra Mason Gann, 48, was last seen at about 5:00 a.m. on January 4, 2004, at her residence near Starke, Florida. Her husband, Dwayne Edward Gann, told investigators she left with an unknown person to go to work, but family members said that was out of character because her purse, keys and driver’s license were found on top of her vehicle parked outside the home.

That same day the mobile home Sandra shared with her husband was destroyed in a fire deemed suspicious and potentially connected to her disappearance, though no conclusive evidence has been reported tying the two. Dwayne Gann and his sister, Deborah Sue Starling, who lived next door, were the last known people to see Sandra and were considered persons of interest. Dwayne had been charged with aggravated battery against Sandra in 2003; the charge was later dropped and the couple married. He is currently incarcerated on unrelated charges and denies involvement.

Extensive searches have turned up no sign of Sandra and foul play is strongly suspected. Anyone with information about her disappearance is asked to contact the Bradford County Sheriff’s Office.
