Donna Mullen was the mother of three daughters and lived in Jacksonville, Florida. She worked at the Ritz beach bar and had many local friends. Donna was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on November 29, 1948 and grew up in the Wilmington, Ohio area. Donna often traveled between Jacksonville, Florida and Cincinnati to visit family. She loved her daughters, but she also had her inner demons. She struggled with an addiction to alcohol.

Her daughter Candy Sharp said her mother was a different person when she was intoxicated. When sober, Donna would bring Candy’s two sisters to visit her in Ohio. Candy didn’t live with her mother. She lived in Ohio with her adopted family who raised her. Although Candy wasn’t raised by her mother, the two were close and Donna made sure she kept in touch with Candy.

Donna Mullen disappeared on July 19, 1986. A neighbor saw Donna leave her home on North 2nd Street in Jacksonville Beach. According to Candy, her mother had left home with a gun saying she was going to shoot someone. Donna's daughters believe it’s possible their mother was killed in a drug deal gone bad. Candy and her sister April have continuously sought justice for their mother. Unfortunately, their sister Michelle has since passed away without know ever knowing what happened to Donna.

Donna Mullen was 37 years old at the time, 5 foot 1 inch tall, with brown hair, and blue eyes. The mother of three had affectionately been known as “Duck” due to the way she walked. She had a few distinctive tattoos, including a black panther on her left shoulder and two red hearts with a black “K” on her right wrist. She also had pierced ears and a scar from a hysterectomy on her abdomen. She disappeared nearly 40 years ago. What happened to this missing mother?

Donna’s two surviving daughters have been on a quest to find out what happened to their mother. Can you help Candy and her sister April get answers for their missing mother who is presumed dead?

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:19.079
Hello, and welcome to the Catch
My Killer Podcast. Thank you for listening.

2
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:23.600
My name is Mark. For nearly
eight years, I've written a weekly

3
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:29.280
newspaper column about true crimes and missing
people for the Claremontson Newspaper in Ohio.

4
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:35.039
With a column and podcast, it
has always been my objective to bring attention

5
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:41.039
to those cases that have not received
much media attention, if any. This

6
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:47.439
week's story involves the disappearance of Donna
Geneve Mullen, who was thirty seven years

7
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:52.560
old when she disappeared. Donald was
also the mother of three daughters. At

8
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:58.280
the time of Donna's disappearance, she
was a citizen of the Jacksonville Beach community.

9
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.640
She worked at the Speech Bar and
had developed many friendships. On July

10
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:10.159
nineteenth, nineteen eighty six, Donna
Mullin was reported missing. She had last

11
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:15.200
been seen by a neighbor near her
home on North Second Street in Jacksonville Beach.

12
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.120
According to Donna's daughter, Candy Sharp, she had left her home with

13
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.920
a gun. Over thirty seven years
have passed and no one has ever seen

14
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:40.680
Donna alive again. Donna Mullin was
the mother of three daughters. She was

15
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:45.200
born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on
November twenty ninth, nineteen forty eight,

16
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:51.359
and grew up in the Wilmington,
Ohio area. Donna often traveled between Jacksonville,

17
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:56.760
Florida, and Cincinnati to visit family. She loved her daughters, but

18
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.480
she also had her inner demons.
She had struggled with an addiction to alcohol.

19
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.599
Her daughter, Candy, said that
her mother was a different person when

20
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.520
she was intoxicated. When sober,
Dona would bring Candy's two sisters to visit

21
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.360
her in Ohio. Candy didn't live
with her mother, but lived in Ohio

22
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:20.599
with her adopted family, who had
taken her in and raised her as their

23
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:25.000
own daughter. Although Candy wasn't raised
by her mother, the two were close.

24
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.319
Donna made sure that she kept in
touch with her daughter, Candy.

25
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:36.240
Candy said that her mother disappeared on
July nineteenth, nineteen eighty six, when

26
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.520
her mother, Donna Mullen, was
reported missing. She had last been seen

27
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:46.840
by a neighbor near her home on
North Second Street in Jacksonville Beach. According

28
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.919
to Candy, her mother was last
seen walking out of her home with a

29
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:55.639
gun. According to Candy, Donna
and her boyfriend at the time spent a

30
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:01.039
weekend in Ohio, before traveling to
Michigan by a new Harley Davidson motorcycle.

31
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:07.599
They then traveled to Russellville, Kentucky, to visit Candy's sister April, before

32
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:14.560
returning home to Jacksonville. Donna would
soon disappear after her return trip back to

33
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:20.719
Jacksonville, Candy and her sister April
have continuously sought justice for their mother.

34
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:27.000
Unfortunately, their sister, Michelle,
has since passed away without ever knowing what

35
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:31.159
happened to their beloved mother. During
a news interview, the sisters had stated

36
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:37.159
that they were having a difficult time
living without their mother. Just not knowing

37
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:43.159
what happened to their mother has been
very difficult for the sisters. Candy has

38
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:47.680
said that she thinks about her mother
constantly. At the time of Donna's disappearance

39
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:53.360
from Jacksonville, she was thirty seven
years old, five foot one. She

40
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:59.120
had brown hair and blue eyes.
The mother three had affectionately been known as

41
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:03.439
Duck to the way she walked.
Donna had a few distinctive tattoos, including

42
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:09.240
a black panther on her left shoulder
and two redhearts with a black k on

43
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:14.360
her right wrist. She also had
pierced ears and a scar from a hysterectomy

44
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.639
on her abdomen. She's been missing
for nearly forty years. What happened to

45
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:24.279
this missing mother? The family believes
that her mom's boyfriend at the time knows

46
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:29.759
exactly what happened to their mother.
His name is mentioned, but I have

47
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.920
blocked out his name because he has
not been charged with any crime involving Donna's

48
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:40.120
disappearance. For this story, I
spoke to Donna's daughter Candy about her mother's

49
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:46.040
disappearance, and now on with the
story of Donna Mullen, as told by

50
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.800
her daughter, Candy Sharp. She
was actually born in Cincinnati, but she

51
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:56.959
grew up in a Wilmanton area.
So as she grew up, she had

52
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.920
a sister, a biological balk sister
named marriage Joe, and she was her

53
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:06.600
bartender, go godmpter. She had
always been back and forth from here to

54
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:12.480
Jacksonville, from since Nanny to Jacksonville. My oldest sister, Michelle Dahn Michelle

55
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.439
Crampton, is decease. She died. I try not to think about it,

56
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.000
so I can't remember the date.
She died on July thirteenth. She

57
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:23.920
pretty much drank herself to death a
lot of it had to do with my

58
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:28.720
mother's disappearance, and she did the
runaway and to drug thoroughly, and that

59
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:33.399
led to her doing a lot of
drinking while she died at forty eighty nine

60
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:39.680
of Cirricius of the liver, that
being sedge. She was married where she

61
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:42.959
was pregnant with my oldest sister,
Michelle as we call her. We don't

62
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:48.399
call her Dawn Michelle. She married
a man named James Crampton who fathered Michelle

63
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:53.480
as well, even though it wasn't
a biological father. He took care of

64
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:57.279
but they got married and then they
had another daughter, or their first daughter

65
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.839
together, which is April, which
is my middle sister. Then she cheated

66
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:05.240
on him and got pregnant with me. Though I was the giveaway baby.

67
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:11.399
She put me up for adoption to
a family that she knew. They were

68
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.959
family, distant family already though my
mom and dad's names were Lois and George

69
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:20.199
Begley. Okay, so that's how
the three kids came about. She would

70
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:25.480
bring my two sisters to come and
see me when I was really little.

71
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.240
She would cook me up for the
weekend. She would have to promise my

72
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.000
parents that she wasn't blinking or doing
any kind of drug or anything while she

73
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.600
had all of the skirl together.
So I found out at a very young

74
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:42.480
age if these two girls that were
coming to see me were acting my sisters.

75
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:46.600
And the lady I was calling aunt
Donna was my biological mother. She

76
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:50.759
was very thick when I was born
and she couldn't forgive me, so she

77
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:56.399
gave me to the family where she
would always be able to come and jast

78
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.759
me that. They ended up being
very close, and like I said,

79
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:04.879
they world related somehow anyway to like
this and cousins or something like that of

80
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:13.279
my mother's were so in her adult
years. I knew her too. She

81
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.000
in nineteen eighty six when she did
the tiered I was only sixteen years old

82
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:20.480
when I was living in Amelia,
Ohio. Form she had came up Kip

83
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:27.759
Goze with her then and thebe six. I'm not sure Kamimo was still married

84
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.759
but was still good, but she
was going by his last name, So

85
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:36.360
she was going by Donna Suckers at
the time, and her boyfriend was who

86
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:41.639
was in the Navy station on Jacksonville. I'm just saying that's how they met.

87
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:46.360
So she came up for the weekend. So when she came up missing

88
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:53.519
what have been July nineteenth of nineteen
eighty six, she supposedly left her apartment

89
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:57.959
in Jacksonville with a gun and and
she was going to go kill someone.

90
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:03.240
This is from a friend, but
ended up reporting for missing. At this

91
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.279
time, my older sister, Michelle, I just spent two years and the

92
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:16.519
when correctional fability and it's raally North
Carolina for being accessory to a burglary.

93
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.040
And as my mother had it appeared
for only weeks at this time. Michelle

94
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:28.519
and her boyfriend moved right into my
mom's apartment. Of course was there and

95
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:33.200
her key were there. So when
they moved out, I get they took

96
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.919
what they wanted and a little about
later I get the landlord finally decided that

97
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.080
he's been a clear out the apartment, called my grandmother and my aunt to

98
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:48.519
come and clean out for a belonging. Still to this day, no one

99
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:54.960
has ever been questioned in this case. Does that just not found? Right?

100
00:08:54.879 --> 00:09:00.480
Okay? And just to clarify,
when your mother disappeared, she was

101
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:05.559
living in Florida at the time,
is that correct? Injectionville? Yeah,

102
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:11.080
And she said that your oldest sister
and her boyfriend had both moved into your

103
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:20.559
mom's apartment after she disappeared. Yeah. Yes, because she had just gotten

104
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:26.200
out of prison and she pretty much
didn't have nowhere to go. She was

105
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:31.320
very young at the time she see
I was sixteen, she was twenty and

106
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.440
had already spent two years in prison, so she didn't have anywhere to go.

107
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.120
Though she had this boyfriend. I'm
assuming that she was maybe seeing him

108
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.399
before she went to prison. I'm
not sure, but yes, it was

109
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:48.080
after she disappeared as they moved in. When you mentioned that part of the

110
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.960
story, I had thought that that
seemed kind of odd. I mean,

111
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.440
your mom disappeared and then your sister
and her boyfriend just taken upon themselves to

112
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:03.440
just move in your mom had disappeared. Who authorized them to just move in?

113
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:09.120
Did your mom allow this before she
disappeared? Or did another relative or

114
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.320
someone else just say, hey,
it's okay for you to move in,

115
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.679
although the woman who lives here is
gone missing, it's okay for you to

116
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.960
live here. Who okayed this?
I don't believe anyone, but this is

117
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.080
nineteen eighty six. Remember, laws
weren't dads they are today, So I

118
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:31.759
don't believe the landlord probably didn't question
her being her daughter and being an apartment.

119
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.519
Like I said, the rent was
paid up for the month or whatever.

120
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:41.679
And I'm not sure exactly how long
Michelle stayed there. I'm just going

121
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:46.200
to call her a biker. And
this is truly what happened. Michelle would

122
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.320
call up the police department down there
and literally cush these men and women out,

123
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.279
and my aunt would do pretty much
the same thing. My aunt married

124
00:10:54.360 --> 00:11:01.440
Joe, and so these people literally
got tired of listening to this crack that

125
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:07.200
my sister was supposedly spooing at them, sending them letters and making phone calls

126
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.600
and just being belligerent. And the
captain even told me this that it got

127
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:16.080
pushed back to the back of the
desk, the kate, and it just

128
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.639
got pushed back. Finally that was
someone new on the kit who might look

129
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:28.440
over it in question of you being
then in turn led to I believe her

130
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:33.720
name was Kingsberry, and she really
was doing some digging and trying to find

131
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.879
things out, and then she retired, And I mean, it just got

132
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.720
pushed back, and no one was
ever questioned about her disappearance, not the

133
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:48.120
people that worked for her. Storked
at the writ and the employees there that

134
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.879
she worked with every day. No
one was questioned about anything, not her

135
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:58.159
boyfriend. So now it's been thirty
plus years, we still know nothing.

136
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.919
But we did go to Okay,
So when she disappeared, we'll go back

137
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.840
to this. When I was sixteen, she came up here with her boyfriend

138
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.759
in the Lincoln. I believe she
chose her car up here and they were

139
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.720
going to Michigan to pick up a
Harley Davidson to drive it back to Florida.

140
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.120
They came up and they stayed the
weekend with me at my parent apartment

141
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.879
in a Million where we live.
But I'm only sixteen, and during that

142
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.360
visult, she made plan with me
that in August, you know, I

143
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.440
was going to come down there and
stay for a couple of months see if

144
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:41.039
I liked it. It was very
tough being adopted, knowing your biological mother

145
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:46.080
and not being able to be with
her and struggling between two families. So

146
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.639
I was going to go down there
with her for a few months and see

147
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.559
if I liked it, and maybe
transfer school if I did. On that

148
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.240
kind of thing. So they go
to Michigan, Okay, they stopped to

149
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.000
see me. On the way up, they go to Michigan, they drive

150
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:03.840
a Harley back the Harley they stopped
at my sister. My sister, April

151
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.120
has always lived in southern Kentucky,
down in the Bowling Green area, so

152
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:11.919
they talked to my chists or April
on the way. On the way back

153
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.840
through to Jacksonville, something came up
about there being some's cocaine in the bike.

154
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:20.879
I don't know how much. I
don't know if it's true. April

155
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:26.519
had three little kids at the time, and she asked my mother and to

156
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.039
leave. Obviously they had some sort
of drawing down them, and April didn't

157
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.039
wanted around her kid, so she
leaves. They go back back fon Bill

158
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:41.200
and it's just literally not even two
or three weeks later, on July nineteenth,

159
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:50.120
excuse reported by her friend Jack can
golle PB and a file five inches

160
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.840
thick. Even there, they've never
questioned anyone and don't have any of that

161
00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:00.399
kind of information to the fort.
It was a lot of letters from Mike

162
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:05.919
sister Michelle to the Fleet department begging
them to do this and do that.

163
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.759
Are you doing anything? But like
I said, since she both flligerent and

164
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:15.919
rude, and cuffing at these people. It just got pushed the guide then,

165
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:20.200
So that's where we are today.
Although ay for all and I we

166
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.200
went to Jacksonville and we did a
news interview and we had to wear a

167
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.279
mask. So we did that between
me and you and a guardrail when we

168
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:33.080
were at that visit a couple of
years ago in jackson though, I think

169
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.240
we went there two years in a
row and then we haven't been back in

170
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:43.120
a couple of years. But we
found out that Donna had in turn her

171
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:50.519
family doctor to borrow ten thousand dollars, which we never knew about before.

172
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.600
But I think it all thinks in
two stories of the bike then full of

173
00:14:54.679 --> 00:15:01.240
cocaine, but she's leaving her house
with her gun. She's asking her doctors

174
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.639
for ten thousand dollars. Who's now
deceased, by the way, and was

175
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.200
never questioned. It seems to me
that something happened to the coke. Either

176
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:16.360
somebody ripped them off, or they
some kind of deal went bad. Maybe

177
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:22.360
she was leaving with the gun trying
to get money because they ripped them all.

178
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:26.080
I'm not sure what exactly happened that
made me have different thoughts, you

179
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.759
know, find it out that she
had literally asked her doctor Tom Barrow two

180
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:35.080
thousand tall her. I mean,
who does that? But again, this

181
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.679
was nineteen eighty six. She was
a bartender. She was a very cute

182
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:43.120
older lady. Well she wasn't older
then, but yeah, it just leads

183
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:48.480
me to believe that that bike was
packed full coke. Something happened, Dad,

184
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.840
she went out to try to get
her money back or threaten somebody,

185
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.240
because she wasn't a violent person that
I ever knew of. I mean,

186
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.600
yes, she owned a gun,
but Gosha a bartender, Harley Ryder or

187
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:07.120
she lives the Russian gruff. So
two weeks after this, we found out

188
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.840
that two weeks before she came up
missing, broke up with her. Right

189
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:17.240
now, he lives in North Carolina, and to this day, even though

190
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:22.399
the Jacksonville PD, no, they
still have not reached out to question him

191
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.480
about anything. Now, have you
ever contacted this guy and personally had a

192
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:33.279
discussion with him about the whereabouts of
your mother? We have not. He

193
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.000
would not return any kind of phone
calls when we did have an address.

194
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:45.159
His family is from Michigan, so
then I'm assuming that there's a possibility that

195
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:51.240
he may know exactly what happened to
your mother all those years ago? Is

196
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:56.000
that an accurate statement? Oh?
Absolutely, bike full of coke with you

197
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.799
in the first play. So where's
the bike at today? Whatever happened to

198
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.720
it? Do you know? I
have no clue? They wrote it back

199
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:07.680
to Jack then though far a guy
knew it was here the matter cycle.

200
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:12.480
He should have been the first,
you know, it's the only one questions

201
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:17.000
should have been him, And even
they said they by one point they could

202
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.960
have got the Navy involved, but
they still haven't. Still two years later

203
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:23.960
and there's a new guy on the
case. I believe his name is Justin

204
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:30.200
Thumpin. Still nothing. And I
understand there's a lot of cases down there,

205
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.599
Jeff, like my mom's. I
understand that. But you know,

206
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:41.359
it's been thirty thirty some years after
Donna's tripp to purchase a Harley Davidson motorcycle,

207
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.839
she would disappear. I had asked
Candy about life without her mother,

208
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:51.720
as she was a teenager when her
mother disappeared. We will take a short

209
00:17:51.759 --> 00:18:32.279
break in return with Candy's thoughts about
her mother's disappearance. Let me go back

210
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:38.160
to when your mother and her boyfriend
visited you in Amelia, Ohio when you

211
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:42.680
were a teenager. How long did
she stay with you? And do you

212
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:48.359
remember anything that stuck out in the
back of your mind from that visit?

213
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:56.359
Was there anything unusual about your mom's
behavior or just anything that struck you as

214
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:02.440
odd about her visit? Nothing worth
out of the ordinary for the visit,

215
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.480
she was just loving, happy to
see me, happy to see us.

216
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:11.920
We were all her family, even
my adopted parents. We all loved her.

217
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:15.119
So we had a nice visit.
They only stayed I think one night.

218
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:19.279
I think they left the next day. And I'm guessing that after she

219
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:23.960
left you, being a sixteen year
old teenager living in Ohio, you were

220
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:30.920
probably excited thinking, Wow, I
may be going from living in Amelia,

221
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:37.640
Ohio to Jacksonville, Florida in a
few months. Yeah, exactly, exactly,

222
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.160
Yeah, Yeah, I hate jack
Thenville. Now that I'm an adult

223
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:45.079
and I know what's there and I've
been there a couple of times, now,

224
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.680
I don't like it. But still, yeah, sixteen years old,

225
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.480
and you gotta understand too, there's
a little rebellion going on because I've always

226
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:57.319
known that these people that adopted me
are not my real parent. You know

227
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:00.799
what, I'm saying I had siblings. Luckily, I have an older sister

228
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:06.480
and then two brothers and then me. I wasn't like them, I didn't

229
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:11.599
look like them. My grandmother treated
me like I was garbage because I didn't

230
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:17.039
belong to my dad biologically a real
mom. For my adopted mom had two

231
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:21.519
miscarriages as well as the three children, so she was happy to have me.

232
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:26.480
I was born because Donna tried to
abhord me twice. I was born

233
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:32.640
with the beer food allergy, and
I was purple. Though just though happen.

234
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:36.319
The parents that took me, George
and Loweck. He worked at Ford

235
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:40.200
Mighter Company at the time in Sharonville, and that was a great job with

236
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:44.759
great insurance, and they were able
to get me right in the doctors who

237
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.119
looked me up with braces for my
legs and all that kind of stuff.

238
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:52.720
Though she really put me with a
good family. But still there was rebellion.

239
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.400
Sixteen years. I'd come on,
fifteen fourteen, You're like, I

240
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.880
don't have to listen to you.
You're not my real mom, or you're

241
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.839
not my real band, or you
know what I mean. Mean things that

242
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.599
I never ever should have done,
and I totally regret now, But I

243
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:12.480
was a kid. You just don't
know until you're older and look back at

244
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:17.079
how you treat it your parents,
you know, But me and my parents

245
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:22.920
were very close to My dad ended
that all was ninth heart attack when I

246
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:27.319
was eighteen years old. Just two
years after she disappears, I lost the

247
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:33.799
only father I had ever known,
and I eventually did. She always told

248
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.799
me who my real father was,
and I did track him down, and

249
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:42.119
I did find my biological father and
I knew him for ten years and him

250
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:45.839
and my adopted mother died in the
same year. Yes, then I have

251
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:49.400
four parents and then they're all dead. Still, what brought your mom to

252
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:55.440
Jacksonville? Why did she move there? I don't really know. She would

253
00:21:55.480 --> 00:22:00.440
hitchhike from here to Jacklynville and back
and she would just I don't know.

254
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:04.680
She just loved it down there once
she was there, want and kind of

255
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:07.559
like April and I once we've been
there once. Now we go on a

256
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.839
sister's trip every year, but we
don't go to doc and will we go

257
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.680
to the other coast, which is
where we just were. I really don't

258
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.359
know what a doc had we're now, What do you know about this friend,

259
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:23.200
the one who had last seen your
mother. When did this person realize

260
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:27.599
that something bad may have happened to
your mother? I guess it was a

261
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:33.000
friend that reported her missing. Maybe
she didn't show up her work or something.

262
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:37.440
But I'm not understanding how someone fell
her leaving with a gun. That's

263
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:42.359
the part that I don't get,
because nineteen eighty sick people didn't have cameras

264
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:47.480
on their houses and stuff like we
do now. I mean, she wasn't

265
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:49.359
the same person that saw her.
Maybe a with her neighbor. I mean,

266
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:53.559
she lived in this little house,
you know, that was apartment.

267
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.319
Maybe it was the neighbor that told
the friend I saw her walking out the

268
00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:03.200
door with a gun in her hand
or something to that effect. Supposedly was

269
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:07.599
she alone when she left, Yes, And like I said, she didn't

270
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.920
take her life, and she didn't
have her keys. She literally left her

271
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.680
electrical on, lights on, the
TV was on out the door, saying

272
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:18.759
I'm going to go kill someone,
kill that bastard or something is what she

273
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:22.599
said. But I don't know that
for sure. Now see, we've never

274
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:27.279
even talked to the friend that filed
the police report. She's never been questioned

275
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:33.359
about anything. Is this person still
alive as far as I know yet,

276
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:40.920
I definitely think that this person would
be someone good to speak to about whatever

277
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:45.039
happened to your mother. I mean, if she can remember anything nearly forty

278
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:49.200
years ago. Yeah, and neither
you nor your sister have ever spoken to

279
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:53.720
this friend, is that correct?
No. When my aunt and my grandma

280
00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:59.079
Beer went down and cleaned out her
house, they brought a back a few

281
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:03.160
little things. So one of the
things that I got was this little addressed

282
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.599
book, and I literally wrote letters
to everyone in this addressed book. I

283
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.559
didn't get not one letter back,
but I didn't get not one response either,

284
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.279
and some of them were business there, which we couldn't even get dental

285
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:21.960
records from the dentist office, or
maybe fifteen or twenty. Okay, But

286
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.480
when I was younger, she told
me that if I really wanted to leave,

287
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.240
that we could go away to the
Pilotines and no one would ever find

288
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:34.119
that. And so she and Jacklynville, there's a navy base right there,

289
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:40.200
and she was into meeting the navy
men, and she had my sister April,

290
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:42.759
I am so bad with me,
and we were just talking about those

291
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:47.440
slow we were going there because she
had oh, maybe his name was Ray

292
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:51.839
and he was a little pilotinal guy. And see, I always wondered if

293
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:56.359
she just didn't up and off and
go to the Philippines and there's living her

294
00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:02.119
in best life. But we have
no way to or to find out because

295
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:06.920
something about they don't go bike her
security numbers or something. There would be

296
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:11.920
no real weight to identify her if
she did new to the Philippine, but

297
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.960
her subsecurity number had not been you
its nineteen eighty six. Either, we

298
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:21.279
could do from check to the security
department. I don't know, I got

299
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:23.720
be There's a lot of twists and
turned. My sister really believed that this

300
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:29.319
guy named who I owned an apartment
building, had killed her and buried her

301
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:33.599
under the building in the concrete.
There's people that told my fifth are all

302
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.759
kinds of things. I don't know
if it was because she were an alcoholic

303
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:42.000
and they were taking advantage of her. Some people told her she was in

304
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:48.839
the ocean. There's just been all
kind of little stories, but nothing compares

305
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:55.680
to the fact that that bike was
full of cocaine. And obviously that is

306
00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:59.920
what has contributed to her disappearance.
I mean, because even though she was

307
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.920
the biker type and the barmaid type. She wasn't a violent person in any

308
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.640
way. I mean, she might
have threatened to beat your ass, but

309
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:12.960
she never wouldn't have. Today,
Candy is convinced that her mother's criminal activity

310
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:18.839
may have led to her disappearance.
She also thinks that her boyfriend at the

311
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:23.759
time may know more about what happened
to her mother than what he has ever

312
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:30.920
said publicly. We will take a
final break in return with Candy's final thoughts

313
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:48.599
on her mother's disappearance. So,
based on everything that you have told me,

314
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:56.359
it does sound like she was possibly
involved in some type of criminal activity,

315
00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:00.759
right right, But whether or not
that she knew that the bike was

316
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:04.400
full of coke or whether they just
had a little bit of coke that I

317
00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:10.200
don't know. So I can't say
that she was actually involved in the criminal

318
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:12.599
activity. Well I'm not going to
say that she wasn't. I don't know.

319
00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:18.920
I wasn't around her. And again, going back to the boyfriend,

320
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:23.160
it sounds like he probably knows what
happened to your mother all those years ago,

321
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:29.839
right, probably everything that needs to
be known, if he will admit

322
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:33.640
to anything. If it's the thing, it's been so many years now he's

323
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:37.880
just thinking he's got away with murder. Where is he? Where is she?

324
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:42.039
I just heard on the news like
day before yesterday they just pulled like

325
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:48.559
sixties b hicles out of lakes and
ponds and stuff in Florida. Oh thinking,

326
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:51.559
oh my god, could she'd be
in one of them? And then

327
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:56.920
they just directed about me who killed
over a hundred women several months ago.

328
00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:02.839
He killed women just literally from all
over everywhere, but he didn't kill any

329
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:06.960
in Florida. And then there's this
George Thorpe. They did follow up a

330
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:11.359
little bit of investigation on him,
he ended up dying, but nothing ever

331
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:17.640
came of it. That we are
just stuff with no answers nowhere, And

332
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:19.839
it would be just be nice if
the Jacklinville pete would get off their button,

333
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:26.640
do something, just question somebody before
literally everyone is dead because somebody still

334
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:32.920
knows something. And you're using social
media to bring attention to this case,

335
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.640
correct, Yeah, we share with
things on Facebook. Do you have a

336
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:42.440
page dedicated to your mom's story?
No, no, we don't. We

337
00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:48.880
just share it on our pages.
And what law enforcement agency is handling your

338
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:56.759
mother's case? Jacklinville Beach, Jacksonville
Beach breet the cart, And when's the

339
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:02.559
last time that you've spoken to anyone
from their apartment? Two years ago.

340
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.119
We've been on vacation two times.
Technically, I guess that's been on nest

341
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.319
three years. And I'm assuming that
there's been no updates. Yep, nothing,

342
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:15.519
And that's how I know they They
still haven't questioned the people that we

343
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:21.079
brought up that they should question,
like her boyfriend, right, have you

344
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:25.359
ever been questioned if the apartment owner
dead is the owner of the rich dead?

345
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:29.160
I mean, I know some of
them are dead. Her doctor who

346
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:33.000
dentists, her best friend. Like
I told you earlier, I think that

347
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:37.000
the bike with bulletcoke, something happened. She went to try to write a

348
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:44.319
wrong and got wronged instead. Truly, that's what I think, and I've

349
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:48.160
only thought that then I found out
that she I knew that she had asked

350
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.359
April's dad for money. That was
her first husband and they stayed close for

351
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:56.319
all these years, you know,
having the two kids. So that was

352
00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:00.319
red flag number one. Not that
they was out of the ordinary for her

353
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.319
to call anyone and asked to borrow
money. At certain times. She was

354
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:07.279
a bar tenure, like I said, she wasn't rich. And this was

355
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.480
back in the eighties too, you
know people did that. She hitch back

356
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:15.920
and forth when she didn't have a
car, and then she met this guy

357
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:19.279
who shot her the silver Link and
continental when she came and picked us all

358
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:23.599
up one weekend and me and my
two sisters in her and we went out

359
00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:29.839
to my grandparents' house who lived in
Wilmington, and we went to my uncle's

360
00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:33.119
banks fall games and we just had
so much fun. We camped down on

361
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:38.400
lingram floor. And when I had
a step grandma too, that was always

362
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:44.319
very nice with That's how I have
April Michelle, and I have uncles that

363
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:49.279
are all of our ages. My
grandpa after he divorced his first wife and

364
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:55.160
his second wife got with a younger
woman and had she had one kid,

365
00:30:55.240 --> 00:31:00.160
and then he had two more kids
who were fifty six, fifty four and

366
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.759
fifty two years old. Who says
they made it was me and my two

367
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:08.119
six sisters. But she just wasn't
a violent person. And for her to

368
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:14.119
go off leaving with the gun in
the first place, that's another red flag.

369
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:18.680
You know. The ten thousand dollars
that she asked her doctor for boom,

370
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:22.160
that's a huge red flag. Who
even in nineteen eighty six, who's

371
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:27.039
going to ask her doctor for ten
thousand dollars? I mean, this wasn't

372
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:30.400
hey, can I borrow one hundred
bucks for gah? This is ten grand

373
00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:34.599
And as far as I know,
he didn't loan it to him, but

374
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:37.559
we know that you might have.
She came up missing. I don't know

375
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:42.440
she they could want the doctor.
My honest ceiling is that, yeah,

376
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:45.599
it was a bike was full of
coo. I don't know what happened.

377
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:49.759
But because up until two years ago
when I found that out, or three

378
00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:56.119
years ago, I really felt in
my mark that it could really be that

379
00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:00.200
she just went to the Philippine.
But maybe that was just told. Now

380
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:05.920
hope too that she's alive and happy
somewhere because strangers that may theme. I

381
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:12.480
have my very best trend. Her
mother actually disappeared too for twenty two years,

382
00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:16.799
but then they found her. She's
alive and well and living in Texas.

383
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:21.720
And Joe I was twenty two years
she didn't have her mom. So

384
00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:27.240
your mother has been missing for nearly
forty years, and you've been spending a

385
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:30.880
lot of your time, as well
as your sister, trying to figure out

386
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:36.279
what happened to your mother? What
is driving you both to pursue this.

387
00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:39.720
Wouldn't it just be easier to just
say she's gone, We'll let her rest

388
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:44.119
in peace and just kind of move
on. I'm sure that would be the

389
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:47.640
easiest thing to do. What is
keeping you from doing that? I don't

390
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:52.240
feel elect and so we can put
her to rest that she's resting in peace.

391
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:57.680
She was murdered. Having the wreck
in peace when you're murdered, you

392
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:02.920
know what I'm saying, Just that
not knowing that's it's horrible. It's really

393
00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:08.119
an undescribable feeling that you get.
You have to know. I don't want

394
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:13.880
to go to my grave not knowing
what happened to it. And just recently

395
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:17.720
I saw your mom's story on the
back of a playing card. Now I

396
00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:23.920
know that's something that seems to be
a good tool for law enforcement. There

397
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:30.240
are unsolved homicides and missing people cases
that are placed on these playing cards and

398
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:37.279
then they are distributed throughout prisons.
So tell me about that. How did

399
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:39.839
your mom's story end up on the
back of a playing card? So a

400
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:45.160
Project Cold Keith, you know what
that is. Yes, I'm familiar with

401
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:49.839
that agency. So we went to
Jacksonville when we met with Ryan and Frieda

402
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:55.160
who are Ryan with the founder,
and a similar story happened to his dad.

403
00:33:57.079 --> 00:34:00.319
He's murdered and that's how he found
it. Project case. So they

404
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:06.839
do spotlight on her anniversary every year
and they constantly run. She'll just pop

405
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:12.159
up every once in a while.
They're always project spotlighting new cases on their

406
00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:16.519
page. So I'm not sure how
the playing cards came about, but we

407
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:22.239
were just notified last year that they
did playing cards with cold cases on them,

408
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:27.800
and they distribute them to praise ends
and different things like that, and

409
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:31.440
so this year they finally put her
in and I haven't received my back yet.

410
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:36.960
I think they distribute them to all
these places where they could get a

411
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:39.320
kick just from other people, you
know, like you said, in Provence

412
00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:45.480
and THERFP centers, wherever they can
distribute them. Yeah, I actually think

413
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:49.039
that those cards is that's a pretty
good idea. I have heard about these

414
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:54.000
cards for a while and from what
I understand, law enforcement has actually gotten

415
00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:59.840
tips from those playing cards. Right. Yeah, they run the story even

416
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.639
acton though all the time. You
know, occasionally I'll get a call from

417
00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:07.639
my uncle fan nights. They I
just saw the new cliff or the missing

418
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:12.840
person you know story. They don't
do it very often, but maybe once

419
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:15.679
or twice a year. I think
she flumped up and that's in Jacklinville.

420
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:20.719
I'm up here and she's in Kentucky. Though anything we share it or don't

421
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:24.559
really go to Jacklonville. We don't
have friends there who can share the story,

422
00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:28.840
you know what I'm saying. I
mean, even though people do share

423
00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:31.760
it, it doesn't get shared enough. If not. Her face isn't plastered

424
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:36.039
all over Jacklonville like it should be. And I do need to call that.

425
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:37.639
They can't give down there and find
out what it's going on because it

426
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:43.159
has been three years and like I
said, my sisters, she just really

427
00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:47.000
like to talk about oh that much. The most amazing thing to me is

428
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:52.199
they never question that one damn person. That is what gets me all these

429
00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:59.199
years. So they still not question
anyone. I just don't understand. I

430
00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:01.400
know they're busy. There's lots of
missing people from jack Then though. I

431
00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:06.000
understand this for thirty six years old
and probably never going to be solved,

432
00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:08.960
but there's still people out here who
love her and miss Or. I want

433
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:15.000
to know what happened to her okay, and I have one final question for

434
00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:20.360
you. For anyone out there that's
listening to this podcast episode that can hear

435
00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:24.280
the sound of your voice, if
they know anything about what happened to your

436
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:30.800
mother all those years ago, what
would you say to that person or person's

437
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:34.880
please report what you know. I
mean, any little pip or little thing

438
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:40.679
could be it that could break the
case open. The smallest little siding or

439
00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:45.840
anything of anyone you know could break
the case wide open, and then we

440
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:51.079
wouldn't be sitting here wondering. We
would like to bury her remains and put

441
00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:54.039
her direst in our eyes anyway,
So that's what I would say, Please

442
00:36:54.239 --> 00:37:00.599
anything, And that concludes the story
of Donna Mullen. On July nineteenth,

443
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:07.039
nineteen eighty six, she vanished from
Jacksonville, Florida, after last being seen

444
00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:10.400
with a gun, stating that she
was going to shoot someone. Donna's two

445
00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:15.320
surviving daughters have been on a quest
to find out what exactly happened to their

446
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:20.480
mother. The only thing that they
know is that she just vanished into thin

447
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:24.960
air, as if she had never
even existed. No one just disappears without

448
00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:30.840
someone else knowing what happened to that
person, can you help Candy and her

449
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:36.320
sister April get answers for their mother
who is missing and presumed dead. And
