Details of Disappearance

Dean was on her way home to Tucson, Arizona when she disappeared on May 3, 1985. She had visited a friend in Pennsylvania and was returning home by Greyhound bus.

It was established that she made it as far as St. Louis, Missouri. She may have taken the bus to Tulsa, Oklahoma and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma afterwards.

Dean's family was supposed to pick her up in Phoenix, Arizona, but she never arrived there. A single piece of her luggage was taken all the way to Los Angeles, California before being returned to her family.

Dean's purse was found at a truck stop cafe in St. Louis, along the Greyhound route. In August 1985, after no one claimed it, it was mailed to her address in Tucson.

Both Missouri and Arizona authorities are handling Dean's investigation. Few details are available in her case.
