Fawn Marie Mountain disappeared from Claysburg, Pennsylvania in 2012. At the time of her disappearance, she was in a relationship with a reportedly abusive, controlling woman named Heather Dibert. The police investigation didn’t start until 2015, three years after she was last seen. This case is infuriating. If you have any information at all related to Fawn Marie Mountain, even if you don’t know how useful it could be, please call the Pennsylvania State Police (814) 696-6100 or the Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers 1-800-4PA-TIPS.
