Bring Lauren Dumolo Home | Search continues for missing Cape Coral woman
It’s been five years since a Cape Coral woman was reported missing and the search for her whereabouts is still on.
Lauren Brittany Dumolo was last seen on June 19, 2020 at her downtown Cape Coral home, which she shared with her boyfriend on Coronado Parkway. The last phone call she had was with her sister Cassie on June 18, 2020 around 6:30 p.m. She had also entered a convenience store to apply for a job.
The next day, Dumolo’s purse was found at Four Freedom’s Park off Cape Coral Parkway and her cell phone was still in her apartment.
Since then, she has been classified as an endangered missing person.
Throughout the time that she has been missing, law enforcement, family members and even strangers with huge hearts have continued the search.
Dumolo, who was 29 at the time of her disappearance, stands 5-feet to five-foot-two-inches tall, weighs 110-120 pounds and has light brown hair (blonde with darker roots) and brown eyes.
She has several tattoos: “Namaste” on her right side, a symbol on her wrist, a “NY” symbol on her pelvis, and rosary beads on her ankle.
“Lauren’s case is still being investigated, and we continue to receive new leads and information,” Cape Coral Police Department officials told The Breeze via email Wednesday. “Our department is committed to bringing closure to Lauren’s family, and are exhausting all resources available. Anyone with information is asked to please call the Cape Coral Police Department at 239-574-0639.”
As the years have gone, various tactics have been used to try and locate Dumolo.
In October of 2021, Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers sent 3,000 postcards to residents and businesses located in the vicinity of where Dumolo lived and spent her time in hope of developing new leads.
In June of 2022, a vigil was held at Four Freedoms Park, where Dumolo spent a lot of time, as it was a place for her to get close to nature and clear her mind.
The goal of the vigil, which was held despite rainy conditions, was to remind the community that Dumolo is still missing and the public’s help is needed to help find her, as well as anyone who may have information regarding her disappearance.
Dumolo’s case has been featured on national platforms and podcasts, with the hope of finding any kind of lead on where she might be. There is also a “Bring Lauren Dumolo Home” Facebook group with nearly 4,000 members.
Along with contacting CCPD in reference to case number 20-011323, those with information can contact SWFL Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-8477. Reward for information on Dumolo’s whereabouts up to $8,000.
Crime Stoppers is offering up to $3,000 in this case and a private donor from Marco Island pledged $5,000 to help bring her home.
