SD SD - Donna Larrabee, 16, Rapid City, 17 Nov 1976

There is an interesting thread at http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sh...em-UP8494-14-17-in-Harpeth-River-Mar-76/page2 . This thread suggests she went missing in May 1976 and was then located by LE in Wyoming with friends. However, whilst the source of the information seems good, the dates do not match.
Did she also go missing earlier in the year only to return after LE located her? Or is one of the dates wrong? Or may there be a mix up between two missing persons?

Rapid City resident Donna Marie Larrabee, 16, took a bus to California to visit her father. It's unknown if she arrived, and she's never been seen since. She was last heard from on Nov. 17, 1976.

Many missing and murdered indigenous women remain unknown. These are the cases we do know

She might be a Naso victim. I just posted the theory in this thread:

CA - CA - JOSEPH NASO, once a suspect in NY Alphabet Murders, now on trial in California

The Naso victim pictures can be found here: The Search for Joe Naso Victims - The Murder Squad

Bumping for Donna.

In the picture it looks like she has glasses. Or am I the only one who sees that?
Donna, if still alive, is approx. 62 yrs today.

Site now defunct. Could this be Donna? I took the pics to be way later but maybe I was wrong.

The calendar states 28 as last day and a Saturday. So it's February. 1976 is possible.

Did she really take that bus? Was there any sighting of her on the bus?
If she took the bus, maybe she fell sleep and, when she woke up, she was confused and got off the bus on a different place.
Was Donna carrying any luggage? Did she have any particular characteristic? It would be great to have a better photograph.

Her dad, mother and younger brother are deceased. May they rest in peace. I can't find any trace her father resided in California, but maybe it's me.

My wall calendar starts on a Sunday, so that 28 would be a Friday ... followed by Saturday 1 March.
