Diana Lynn Harris, 27 years old, was originally from Owosso, Michigan and lived there until February of 1981 when Diana and her two children moved to Florida. Diana's two children last saw her on June 7, 1981 when they were at the airport to return to Michigan to spend the summer with their father. Both children expected to return to Florida when school started.

At the time of Diana's disappearance, Diana was working two jobs from February 1981 until she went missing, at the "No-Name Pub" in Big Pine Key and another job at the "Sugar Loaf Key Lodge", both in Florida.

In the first week of July, 1981 Diana phoned a friend who lived in Michigan, from a house on Iris Drive in Big Pine Key, Florida. Diana stated to her friend in MI, that she could only speak briefly because she was worried about something illegal and dangerous happening at the "party house". Diana called her mother to discuss her trip to Michigan scheduled for August 15, 1981 to attend her sister's wedding and that was the last time anyone heard from Diana.

In 1981, the house on Iris Drive was a known "party house" and it was reported to law enforcement that Diana lived there for awhile with her boyfriend Gary, before she disappeared.

On August 4, 1981 Diana's mother reported Diana missing. Law enforcement suspects foul play was involved and they are investigating her disappearance as a possible homicide.
