Details of Disappearance
Dunn was last seen by her mother, whom she dropped off at her residence at 6:00 p.m. At 8:00 p.m., Dunn's daughter called her and Dunn mentioned that her ex-boyfriend, David Asmussen, was at her house. At 11:00 p.m., Dunn called her mother on the phone saying David Asmussen had called her and she was upset. She was missed after she failed to show up for work on December 10. Dunn's car was found at her own residence. Her home was locked and her purse and keys were on the table. She may have traveled to Florida after her disappearance. David Asmussen is in prison for stalking Dunn before she disappeared. Her relationship with Asmussen was troubled and she got an order of protection against him after she began seeing another man. The order prohibited Asmussen from contacting Dunn in any way, but after it was implemented he called her at least 17 times in less than two weeks and left at least three threatening messages on her answering machine. Asmussen admitted he was at Dunn's house the day she disappeared, and he is believed to have been the last person to see her before she went missing. He was convicted of stalking Dunn after she vanished and sentenced to 40 years in prison. He appealed but the conviction was upheld. In Fall 2006, Asmussen was charged with two counts of kidnapping Pamela, and is currently awaiting trial. Foul play has not been ruled out
