Donna Kay Kingston was 18 when she left her grandmother’s home in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, on May 11, 1984, telling family she was driving to Tulsa for promised work and would call upon arrival. She left in her grandmother’s red and white 1980 Mercury Monarch, a four-door with Oklahoma plate CZ4818, and never made the expected phone call.

Donna is described as 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 5 inches, 160–165 pounds, with black shoulder-length hair, brown eyes and a small mole on her right cheek. The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office filed a missing person report on August 25, 1986, and classifies her as endangered. The Mercury Monarch also has not been recovered and the man from Tulsa who persuaded her to go is unknown to the family.

Anyone who knew Donna, the man from Tulsa, or the whereabouts of the 1980 Mercury Monarch is asked to contact the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office with information.
