Deborah Jean McKneely, 39, vanished from her Rockdale County, Georgia, home on January 29, 1991. She was last seen at her residence on Union Church Road sometime between 7:30 a.m., when her two sons left for school, and 4:45 p.m., when they returned to find the back door kicked in, a broken garage windowpane, cut phone lines and blood inside the house and in the carport.

Investigators concluded the scene did not fit a simple robbery: Deborah’s purse, jewelry, a watch, a diamond ring and a new computer were left behind. Her 1985 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer was found the next day in a Decatur housing project 20 to 25 miles away; more blood was inside, the keys were left in the vehicle and cash was scattered in plain view. Authorities have said at least two people were likely involved. A white pickup was seen near the home around the time of the disappearance, but its role is unconfirmed.

Deborah was in the middle of a contentious divorce; she and her estranged husband had separated in November 1989, she had accused him of physical abuse in court filings and told family and a neighbor she feared he might kill her if she tried to divorce him.

Anyone with memories of Deborah, the neighborhood, the white pickup, or other information about that day is asked to come forward.
