Background
Aubrey Dameron was born on October 22, 1993. She is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. Dameron began transitioning and identifying as female during high school.
Dameron previously lived with her ex-boyfriend, Jay C. Pierson, in New Mexico. During that time, she got breast augmentation surgery in Colorado as part of her transition.
On August 18, 2018, Dameron moved back to her family home in rural Oklahoma, citing a bad relationship that she needed to get away from.
At the time of her disappearance, Dameron was living with her mother, brother, and stepfather at her family’s residence on the outskirts of Grove, Oklahoma. She loved music and had dreams of becoming a singer.
Her last facebook post before she went missing reads “You’re never too important to be nice to people.”
