She is believed to have been wearing blue jeans, a purple jacket, moccasins and prescription glasses. She may have had some change with her. Dymond had blue eyes and brown hair.

According to family, Dymond got into an argument with her husband as they left the party. He told her to walk home and drove away without her. Dymond went back into the club and said her husband left her there and that she was walking to her son’s house just after midnight.

Her son’s house was about a mile away. She never arrived and has never been heard from again. You can hear from her family on the Unfounded podcast.
