Height & Weight: 5'2 110 lbs

Details Of Disappearance
Diane was living with her mother Patricia and brother Dean in a house in San Jose, California just prior to her disappearance. According to a friend who was close to Diane, She was having issues coping with her parent's recent divorce. She wasn't able to see her dad as often as she would like. And to make things worse her mother worked long hours at a winery and wasn't home very often. As a result Diane started acting rebellious. According to her close friend Natja Kristy, She began smoking cigarettes, marijuana and began skipping school. According to Natja on the day of her disappearance he was at her house (He stated he was practically living with the Dye's during the time in question) when he heard her outside crying on the porch. She was upset that her mother wouldn't let her hang around people who were bad influences on her. She told him that she had planned to run away. Natja is on record stating he tried talking her out of it. And he thought he had. At some point she told him to leave her alone. And he did. That was the last time he saw her. I would also like to point out that Diane's brother Dean also stated she told him she was running away as well. According to Andrea's entry there were a few sightings of Diane after she was last seen by her family. One by a neighbor who saw her with a blonde haired girl. She was in her neighborhood at the time. The blonde haired girl has never been identified. The neighbor who reported the sighting stated he did report it to the police. Another was apparently at a Jack in the Box near Diane's home. This lead was provided by a member of Diane's family. It's possible that the sighting of Diane with the blonde girl and the one at Jack in the Box were the same lead. Another supposed sighting occurred in December of 1981 in Daly City, California. A former classmate stated he saw Diane at the Serramonte Mall. He did converse with her and he stated she explained that she didn't want to go back home. I would like to note all 3 (or 2) of these sightings were unconfirmed. At one point in the 80's Princess Doe was thought to be Diane Dye. But she was eventually ruled out via DNA as well as the dentals didn't match.
Andrea from WhereaboutsStillUnknown did the first real entry on Diane's case. Before that entry there really wasn't a lot out there.
CrimeBlogger1983 did a very recent in depth post on her case.
Discussion Points
Her case got no media attention at all when she went missing. It was only when they thought Princess Doe might be Diane. Why do you think her case was ignored?
Do you think Diane is still alive out there somewhere and she just doesn't want to be found?
There is one notable suspect mentioned in two of the links below. With what we know of this person. What are the odds he is responsible?
