My name is Marianne D'Hondt, I am Carmela's youngest sister. Whoever added her information to this website and whoever is reponsible to this website I thank you so very much for adding her information. It means a lot; people I don't know who took the time to include my sister, it means a lot to me and my family more than I can ever express. God bless you all and thank you so very much!

I am so sorry your sister is missing. Does your family feel they have the resources they need?

I notice Carmela's page on NamUs does not have a photo. Perhaps your family could contact whomever is in charge of her case and request that it be updated to include a photo.

I truly hope your sister will be located - safe- very soon.

So sorry about your sister. Has anyone looked into the Jane Doe found in Centreville, Virginia in 1993 for a possible match?

Hello, I'm not the person you asked, but do you mean this unidentified Jane Doe?

Mistakes can be made in describing a Jane Doe, but that said, I don't see the hair color, missing/ found dates, or her apparent dental characteristics seeming to match Carmela. What are the reasons you think they may be a match, though?
