I have a theory:
Dana had trouble with mom and sis or with alcohol/chemicals or hubby/ex-hubby with Scottish shurname and left her daughter and family behind and went off first to Mexico to be with her half-brother (her FB lists a Bradley Dmytriw as her brother) and then to LaLaLand. Things didn't work out in TinselTown and she hit the sauce/chemicals hard, got into porn late 40s, around 2004. She had a middling run until 2008 or so when she had that fateful car accident from which she never recovered. The porno shoots dried up over time as she got fat/dumpy and she had to recur to escorting/hooking, all the while separated from mom and sis back in Ontario, CA. With the escorting came the busts in Reno and elsewhere and the constant falling for scams from fellow vendors who gain her sympathy and friendship and then leave her high and dry at some motel or bus stop, without a ride or gas money and with Lucky and six large pieces of luggage. This is probably around 80% or so of what really happened to the woman we know as Luvinlioness.
