She had to have been kidnapped, most likely by someone in that club. Any updates?

We have another missing woman from Magnolia, Danielle Sleeper, missing since 3/22/15. Which reminded me of Jane's case. Where could she be??? It's been almost 22 years. Her poor kids never knew what became of their mom.

Usually, missing people are described as simply missing, what is it about this case in particular, that causes FBI to suspect that Jane was kidnapped? imo

 

[sevengirl]

Bumping for Jane....what could have possibly happened to her??

Not much new in this article from today-

Jane McDonald-Crone didn't show up for work at a Houston tool company the morning of Nov. 12, 1993.
No one had heard from her nor seen her. She wasn't at home in Magnolia, nor in class at North Harris Community College in Tomball. Her husband reported her missing.
The mystery deepened when McDonald-Crone, then 34, was spotted two days later at a nightclub in Harris County dancing with a man.

I was just on the FBI site and read about her, wondering the same thing, why do they seem so sure she was kidnapped.

Details of Disappearance
McDonald-Crone departed from her residence on Nichols Sawmill Road near Magnolia, Texas during the morning hours of November 13, 1993. She arrived for work at Baker-Hughes Tool Co. near Houston, Texas, but she did not return to her house after her shift ended. McDonald-Crone was a student at North Harris County College in Tomball, Texas at the time as well.

The night of her disappearance, McDonald-Crone visited the City Limits Club, Willie's Night Life Club, and the Twigs Club. She was last seen dancing with an unidentified male at one of the country and western clubs in northern Harris County, Texas near Houston at approximately 1:00 a.m. on November 14, 1993.

The individual is described as 5'11 and 160 pounds with dark hair and a mustache. He was wearing blue jeans and a cowboy hat, and he called himself David. David is not considered a suspect in McDonald-Crone's case, as she left the club alone after dancing with him. However, authorities would like to identify and question him.

McDonald-Crone left behind a husband and two children from a previous marriage when she disappeared. She has never been heard from again.

McDonald-Crone's blue 1982 Ford Mustang with the Texas license plate number FXY-01G was discovered abandoned near the intersection of FM 2920 and Roberts Cemetery Road, three blocks from her house in Magnolia, on November 16. Her textbooks from college were inside the vehicle, but her purse and identification were not recovered. There were no signs of a struggle at the scene. Witnesses reported seeing the car at that location at 7:00 a.m. on November 13.

Authorities believe that McDonald-Crone may have been taken against her will. Foul play is suspected in her case, which remains unsolved.

Some agencies may list the date McDonald-Crone's of disappearance as November 12, 1993, and Magnolia, Texas may be listed as the location.

November 12, 1993 - Jane leaves her home and goes to work. She leaves work and neither returns home nor attends class at a local community college.

November 13, 1993 - No one hears from Jane.

November 14, 1993 - Jane is spotted dancing with a man named “David” around 1 a.m. at a Houston nightclub.

November 15, 1993 - No one hears from Jane.

November 16, 1993 - Jane’s car is found a few miles from her home. A work crew says it had been there 2-3 days.

I'm curious as to why the FBI believes this is a kidnapping. IMO, "David" doesn't exist...

What are the rules on posting MSM from another country? Certain information is being reported in newspapers and on TV stations in Mexico.

Well, at the risk of it being taken down, here’s an article from El Universal, one of the largest papers in Mexico, claiming that she’s been found in Monterrey. I’m fluent in Spanish, but I haven’t translated the article:
