Delores Donoghue, 46, disappeared from Youngstown, Ohio after being last seen on January 3, 2000. Known as Dee Dee to her family, she left her sister’s south-side Youngstown home wearing only one shoe, visited a bar, then took a taxi to a motel in nearby Girard. The last confirmed contact was a phone call she made from that motel to her twin sister; the call ended abruptly when the line went dead and no further contact was ever made.

At the time she vanished Delores was described as a white female with brown shoulder-length hair, hazel eyes and a scar on her left arm. She wore a blue t-shirt, jeans and an Army fatigue jacket bearing the name Donoghue, an Army insignia ring, and a borrowed pair of men’s shoes. She required prescription blood-thinning medication.

The Youngstown Police Department is handling the investigation and the case remains open. The sudden end of that final call is a key unanswered detail. Anyone who knew Delores, saw her on January 3, 2000, or has information about her movements in Girard is asked to come forward.
