Another Missing Woman - Dana Bonnano.
(from Journal News - Westchester)
Her mom last heard from her over two weeks ago, when she told her mother she thought she was being stalked. Dana Lauren Bonanno, missing from Greenpoint, Brooklyn on July 22. Last seen on Freeman Street in Brooklyn wearing a blue dress.
Three days before Dana Lauren Bonanno went missing, July 19, she had texted her mother asking her to call 911 without explanation. Donna O’Connor of Patterson, NY, said she texted her daughter back that Dana should call 911 if there was a problem.
On the night she disappeared, July 22, Bonanno had also told her mother she thought her two male roommates had been looking through her personal belongings and talking about her. That was shortly before 10 p.m. Just over an hour later, at 11:10 p.m., she sent her mother a text message saying “I’m scared.” That was the last O’Connor heard from her. Bonanno, 33, has lived with her two roommates for the past six months in an apartment in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn.
Bonnano was laid off from her job as a paralegal at A&E Networks in April. She was an aspiring music producer and part of a group of friends promoting music events throughout the city.
A friend, Michael Annunziata, who grew up in Putnam County with Bonanno said “She’s a really sweet, caring, wonderful girl. A heart of gold.” Friends have also taken to social media and posting missing person fliers throughout New York City to help police in the search.
Annunziata said he last saw Bonanno on July 21 at her loft apartment. He said Bonanno normally just went out on weekends and if there had been an event she planned to attend that Monday night, she would have told him about it. “I’m pretty upset,” said Annunziata.
“In my heart I know she is alive,” O’Connor said. “I cannot for the life of me imagine that no one heard or saw her that night. It’s a very active street. All we want is for people to please give information.”
