    Details of Disappearance

    Dunn was last seen on Agnes in Southgate, Michigan at 3:00 a.m. on July 31, 1980. She was abducted from her driveway, kicking and screaming, and forced into a vehicle. She has never been heard from again. Authorities later found her purse, hairbrush and shoes on the street.

    Authorities believe Dunn could have been a victim of the serial killer Coral Eugene Watts. A photo of Watts is posted below this case summary. He has twelve murders attributed to him, but is suspected of many more. His victims were young Caucasian women in Texas and Michigan. Watts died of cancer while serving a life sentence in a Michigan prison. Dunn has not been confirmed to have been one of his victims, but she fits the profile. Her case remains unsolved.
