Heather Cameron had recently turned 28 years old when she mysteriously vanished on August 18th, 2012. She was last seen in the company of her ex-boyfriend, Daniel Lusby. Heather told her family that she and Daniel were headed to Keswick Dam, a remote area located 20 minutes outside of Redding, California. Around 2:50pm that day, Heather called 911 three times from Daniel’s phone from the Keswick Dam area. She told police that she had been drugged with heroin and needed assistance. An extensive search was launched in that area, but no signs of Heather or any sort of suspicious activity were found.

Daniel Lusby has been formally interviewed numerous times since Heather’s disappearance, but has still not been charged with anything related to the case. When investigators asked why Heather had called 911 from his phone, Daniel told them that she took his phone from him, walked off, and never returned. That phone has never been recovered. Police still consider Daniel to be the primary person of interest in Heather’s disappearance. According to Shasta County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Brian Jackson, “he is still a person of interest and this case is still open..there is still information we are trying to corroborate.”

Heather’s family acknowledges that Heather struggled with substance abuse; however they do not believe she is voluntarily missing. She left behind four children who she always made time to see prior to vanishing, and her family does not believe she would abandon them. Daniel, on the other hand, has an extensive criminal record and was allegedly abusive towards Heather throughout their relationship.

Heather’s family are also Grand Ronde Tribal members. They believe that domestic violence played a role in Heather’s disappearance and are hoping to raise awareness about domestic violence against Native American women. A report from May 2016 states that 84% of Native American women have experience violence in their lifetime, including sexual, physical, stalking and psychological aggression.

Additionally, there is a $5000 reward for any person with information that leads to solving Heather’s disappearance. If you have any information that could help, please contact the Shasta County Sheriff’s Department at 530-245-6025.

Vanished: 19 disappearances that are still without answers in Redding, Shasta County​

Despite the best efforts by family, law enforcement and communities, some people who went missing from their homes in Redding or elsewhere in Shasta County have never been found.

Their unresolved cases often leave brokenhearted family members and friends with more questions than answers.

Among the most recognizable names on the list of missing people are Nikki Cheng Saelee McCain, who went missing last May; Ember Graham — also known as 'Baby Ember' — who went missing 9 years ago; and then-teenager Tera Lynn Smith, who went jogging 27 years ago and never came back.

Here are 19 cold cases law enforcement officials are trying to crack. All are people who went missing as long ago as the 1990s and as recently as 2024.


Heather Cameron was last heard from on Aug. 18, 2012, when she called 911 from near Keswick Dam frantically claiming she'd been drugged with heroin and was lost, according to sheriff's dispatch logs. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance are said to be suspicious, according to Secret Witness, which said up to $5,000 is being offered for information leading to her whereabouts.
