April Dawn Travis, 45, was last seen on June 22, 2024, in eastern Burke County, North Carolina. Witnesses reported she was dropped off near the intersection of Highway 70 and East Burke Boulevard, in the vicinity of Icard and Connelly Springs, and has not been seen or heard from since.

April is described as a white female, brown hair, blue eyes, about 5 feet 9 inches and 170 pounds. She has several distinctive tattoos: DONNIE on her right ankle, a ying-yang on her left ankle, a Winnie the Pooh on her stomach, a dolphin on her lower back, a rose and butterfly on her left hand, and an unfinished tattoo on her right hand. Law enforcement released a DMV photo from August 2023 and a more recent photo from her son. The Burke County Sheriff’s Office entered the case into NamUs and is investigating; she was reported missing on September 18, 2024, almost three months after her last confirmed sighting.
