Donna Lynn Jenson, 30, vanished from her parents’ Collinsville, Illinois home in spring 1990 while her family was away on a short trip. Her coworkers became concerned after she failed to show up for work in Granite City and did not call in; when family returned they found the house in a state that suggested she had left in a great hurry. A month earlier she had moved back in with her parents after ending a six-year marriage.

Donna’s gray 1981 Buick Skylark was recovered on May 10, 1990, at the Samuel Gompers Apartments in East St. Louis. Inside the vehicle was a basket of clothing and a hospital gown. Friends later told investigators they saw Donna a few days after she was last seen and that she said she was going to East St. Louis to buy drugs. Authorities have treated the circumstances as suspicious, and the Collinsville and Fairview Heights Police Departments investigated, but the case remains unsolved.

Donna was described as white, 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 6 inches, 140 to 160 pounds, with short straight brown hair, brown eyes, pierced ears, a butterfly tattoo on her lower left hip, and a red birthmark on her back near her right shoulder. Does anyone who knew Donna or who lived near Samuel Gompers Apartments in 1990 have information that could help clarify her movements that spring?
