Gloria McDonald, 68, disappeared from Queen Wilhelmina State Park near Mena, Arkansas after a January 26, 2001 family hike. She and her husband Daniel had moved to Mena; she worked as a court reporter for the local paper. Early in the hike the group turned back because fallen trees blocked the Lover’s Leap Trail. Gloria stayed at the Queen Wilhelmina Lodge while the others continued; when they returned about 30 minutes later she was gone. Their locked car remained in the parking lot with Gloria’s purse and belongings inside.

At the time she was 5 feet 6 inches, about 120 pounds, with red or auburn hair. She was last seen wearing a blue plaid flannel shirt, blue jeans, a bright yellow hooded jacket, sneakers and rose-tinted sunglasses, and may have had a Minolta Riva Zoom 90 camera. Search teams, dogs, helicopters, the Arkansas State Police, Polk County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI conducted extensive searches but found no trace. Investigators considered several theories, including possible links to her work and the idea she might have encountered illegal activity; no suspects have been named. Her husband Daniel was described as a person of interest, denied involvement and reportedly passed a polygraph.

Does anyone who visited Queen Wilhelmina State Park on January 26, 2001 remember seeing a woman who matches Gloria’s description or anything unusual that day?
