Kimberlee Sue Turner was 27 and living with her boyfriend of eight years, Joe Donogriche, in a trailer on Tucker Road just north of Ocean Springs, Mississippi, when she vanished on September 29, 1993. She was last seen walking away from Sheila’s Grocery after buying a pack of cigarettes; the store was within walking distance of her home. Kimberlee left behind her purse, a load of laundry in the washing machine and clothes on the line, all suggesting she intended to return.

Investigators quickly focused on her boyfriend, who reported her missing and has been considered a suspect; he has not been charged and maintains his innocence. A van registered to Kimberlee was examined and a substance first thought to be blood was later determined not to be. Searches, including helicopter efforts, produced no trace and detectives treat the disappearance as a possible homicide.

Who in the community remembers Kimberlee that September morning or saw her near Sheila’s Grocery?
