Details of Disappearance

Young was last seen in the Sacramento, California area. There are conflicting reports as to where she was last seen; it may have been in the downtown area, or she may have been leaving her father's home in North Sacramento. She was reported missing on May 29, 2005. She has never been heard from again.

Prior to her disappearance, Young liked to attend raves in the San Diego area, without bringing her identification; her purse had been stolen and she hadn't been able to replace her identification cards. She had become addicted to heroin, and had gotten clean after a stint in rehab, but relapsed after a doctor prescribed painkillers for her after she gave birth to her daughter. She was still actively using when she disappeared.

Young's parents are still alive and hope to learn what happened to her. Her case remains unsolved.
