"She’s not really the kind of person who would do something like this." Tonya Eldredge, Dawson's mother said.

June 5th was the last time Dawson was spotted according to the family. They said she was with a man identified as Dawson's boyfriend at a local gas station in the middle of the night. The family says surveillance footage showed the two at the gas station, but when the pumps didn't work they left the area.

Dawson has not been seen or heard from since.

I think this is the most recent one: Leah Dawson

I can verify the man in those pictures is her "boyfriend."

Welcome to Websleuths, @Thehiddenone! Are you a friend/family member of Leah? There are photos on Leah's FB page of a much older man being affectionate with her. Could this be the man they are speaking about being her "boyfriend?" Is he missing also?

ETA TY @PommyMommy for finding Leah's most recent FB page!

@Thehiddenone would you ever consider becoming a verified insider? That makes it so you can answer any questions without providing links since you’re close to the case.
Was her boyfriend arrested recently? Is he being questioned about her disappearance?

Feeling terrible about this one, especially because they released the last person seen with her... I’m wondering what he has to say about the last time she was seen/why he wasn’t the one to report his partner missing..
