Donna was last seen in Beech Island, South Carolina on June 28, 1989. She has never been heard from again. She has thirteen siblings, twelve of whom are still living. Her mother died in 2005. Few details are available in her case.
Beech Island isnot actually an island, it's close to Augusta SC, I wonder if she was from that place or what she was doing there?based on google maps it looks like a heavily wooded area with one big highway with good hiking places but not much more to do.
According to Wikipedia
Beech Island was primarily an agricultural community before the 1950s. Cotton, wheat, corn, and soybean were the major crops. This changed with the construction of Urquhart Station Power Station and the nearby Savannah River Nuclear Project. New highways were built to accommodate the workers commuting to the Nuclear Project. Commerce grew and the community began to change. In the 1960s
Kimberly-Clark built a large manufacturing facility on what was once farmland, creating more jobs. The boom, however, was short-lived.
Beech Island's most famous resident was
James Brown, who lived there for the last few decades of his life on a 60-acre (240,000 m2) estate. Brown is buried in the Thomas Family Home Crypt on Beech Island.
The Cedars,
Fort Moore-Savano Town Site,
Redcliffe Plantation State Historic Site,
Oakland Plantation, and
Zubly Cemetery are listed on the
National Register of Historic Places.
