Donna Pittinger was 35 when she was reported missing from Lawrence Township, Ohio, on February 6, 2005. She was known to frequent the Arlington Street and Johnston Street area on Akron’s east side, where she worked as a prostitute. Family and friends reported her disappearance that day and she was not seen again for nearly three months.

On April 26, 2005, a kayaker found Donna’s decomposing body in the Tuscarawas River in Lawrence Township, Stark County. Investigators determined she had been the victim of a homicide, though where the killing occurred is unknown and authorities believe the body may have been moved. The Lawrence Township Police Department, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office list the death as an unsolved homicide and the case is classified as cold. No suspects have been identified and key details remain unclear.

If anyone has information about Donna, her movements in February 2005, or activity around Arlington Street and Johnston Street, please come forward.
