Donda Renea Martino, known by her middle name Renea, was 32 when she disappeared from her Chattanooga, Tennessee home on the evening of June 30, 1994. She spoke by phone with her sister-in-law and said she was about to leave but would call back; that call never came. The next day she missed a planned birthday party. Her husband reported going to a store about 11:00 p.m. the night she vanished and returning to find her gone. Donda’s car, personal belongings and her three children were left at the residence, and her husband told authorities she had been drinking that evening. He reportedly remarried within about three months of her disappearance.

Investigators eventually treated the case as suspicious and suspected foul play. Three days after she was last seen the husband filed the missing person report. In October 2006, police excavated part of the garage at her former home based on a tip, but found no evidence. Her case has been mentioned in connection with theories about Larry DeWayne Hall, but no evidence has substantiated that link. The investigation remains an open cold case.

Does anyone have memories of Donda, or information about her movements in Chattanooga around June 30, 1994?
