Teresa J. McDonald, also known as Janie, was 17 when she disappeared in the winter of 1980 while trying to get to her parents’ home in Rhea County, Tennessee. She was last seen in Tunnel Hill, Georgia, reportedly hitchhiking. At one point she stopped to use a payphone and called her family; that call was the last confirmed contact. Teresa never arrived at her destination and has not been heard from since.

Teresa had sandy brown hair, blue eyes and a distinctive surgical scar on her abdomen. Her case is classified as endangered missing. Law enforcement publicly identified her boyfriend at the time as a person of interest, but investigators say there has not been enough evidence to produce a breakthrough. Age-progressed images have been circulated and the case remains open.

Does anyone remember seeing Teresa in Tunnel Hill in 1980 or have information about her movements after that final phone call?
