Darline Pinelli Vaughan was 35 when she left her Ettrick, Virginia home on Sasha Court on the evening of May 2, 1986. After an argument with her husband about family finances, she walked out of the house at about 9:30 p.m. wearing a red blouse, blue jeans, a gray jogging jacket and Nike sneakers; she wore her glasses. She left behind her pocketbook, money, keys and her car. Her husband and sister reported her missing the next day.

At the time she disappeared she was separated from her husband. Investigators reviewed the case repeatedly but reported no significant suspects and no substantial leads developed. Her husband died in 2006. The abruptness of her departure and the items left behind remain unexplained.

If anyone knew Darline, saw her that night, or has information that could help, please share what you know.
