Joyce Lynn Dupont, who often went by Lynn, vanished from Lake Charles, Louisiana, in late summer 1994. On September 8, 1994, the 25-year-old left her child with a sister and said she was heading to the Housing Authority. She was last seen walking toward the corner of Bank and Broad Streets to catch a bus and never reached her destination.

Joyce is described as a Black female, 5 feet 6 inches and about 135 pounds at the time, with black hair and brown eyes. Distinctive tattoos included her middle name Lynn on her leg and the letter D on her arm. She was last seen wearing white shorts and black sandals. Family and authorities say she would not have voluntarily abandoned her two children, and the case is classified as endangered missing.

Very few leads have emerged and the Lake Charles Police Department keeps the investigation open. If anyone knew Joyce, saw her on September 8, 1994, near Bank and Broad, or has information about her movements that day, please come forward.
