A mother is pleading for help after her adult son disappeared under suspicious circumstances last summer, with no contact since July 31, 2024. Stephanie Sanders, who resides in Oklahoma, says her son, 28-year-old Dylan Hollingsworth, last reached out via text message from somewhere in Los Angeles.
According to Stephanie, Dylan told her he was relocating to Colorado with a woman he had recently met. During that final exchange, he also mentioned a disturbing detail about a man he had a confrontation with at a local gym in Los Angeles and allegedly was seeking revenge.
“Dylan moved around a lot, so I don’t have a permanent address for him,” Stephanie said. “But he never missed a holiday. When the holidays came and went with no word from him, I knew something was very wrong.”
Since the last text message in July, Dylan has not been active on social media, and his phone service is no longer active. Stephanie, who works 50 to 60 hours a week, has tried to search through missing persons pages but says the trail from Los Angeles to Colorado is too broad without more specific information.
No official missing person report appears filed to date, and no authorities are actively searching for Dylan.
“I have no names, no address, nothing. Just that last message,” Stephanie said.
Stephanie hopes that by sharing her son’s story publicly, someone who may have seen or interacted with Dylan will come forward. She describes him as kind, often restless, but never the type to vanish without a word.
Dylan is caucasian, with brown eyes and hair. He stands 6 foot one inch tall and has several tattoos, including one on his right forearm which reads, “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline,” and a sailship and lightning bolt in yellow on his left shoulder and bicep.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact their local authorities, missing persons organizations, or 702-324-2131.
