Donna Gail Manson was 19 and a student at Evergreen State College when she was last seen on the evening of March 12, 1974. She told her roommate she was going to a campus jazz concert and was last seen walking from her dorm toward the library, a two-minute walk. She was described as 5 feet tall, 100 pounds, with long brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a red, orange, and green striped shirt, blue or green slacks, and a fuzzy black full-length coat. She had been experiencing a period of depression and occasionally hitchhiked, which contributed to a six-day delay before she was reported missing. Her room was left with all personal belongings, suggesting she had not planned an extended absence.

The investigation into Donna’s disappearance was slow to start and was complicated by spring break; her case was one of several area disappearances believed to be connected. Ted Bundy later confessed to killing Donna and gave varying accounts of where he disposed of her remains, including Taylor Mountain, but those statements were never confirmed.

Does anyone have information about Donna’s movements on campus that night or about the fishermen’s discovery near Eatonville?
