Dawn Marie Shaver was only 25 years old when she died. There is very little information about Dawn's case.

On November 17. 1996, Dawn's body was found in a creek near Ann Street and Elizabeth Avenue. Dawn was found fully clothed but had been strangled and beaten, specifically to her chest, abdomen, and head.

Dawn's case is one of 17 women who were missing or murdered during the mid-1990s in a short period of time. Many of these women were sex workers, and their cases have received minimal media attention.
