Jeanna Dale North was 11 when she was last seen rollerblading in her Fargo neighborhood on the night of June 28, 1993. She was reported last heading past the corner of North 15th Avenue and North 4th Street after leaving a friend’s home; the friend had reached her own house and watched Jeanna continue alone. Jeanna was described as a White child about 4 feet 3 inches tall and 55 pounds, with light brown or blond hair, blue eyes, pierced ears and recent dental work. She wore a blue T-shirt with white or gold-and-white mime masks, turquoise shorts and black Rollerblades with neon green wheels.

Investigators later focused on neighbor Kyle Kenneth Bell. Evidence from Bell’s truck included hairs reported to match Jeanna by DNA testing, and searches of the Sheyenne River recovered a rope and a cinder block investigators believed could be linked to disposal of remains. A jury found Bell guilty of murdering Jeanna in August 1999, and he was sentenced to life on September 24, 1999, but Jeanna’s remains have never been recovered. Her disappearance remains one of Fargo’s most widely remembered child-disappearance cases.

If anyone in Fargo that night remembers seeing Jeanna or her Rollerblades, please share what you know.
