The case of a missing mother from Sangamon County is getting a fresh look after her ex-husband pleaded guilty to murder.

Allen Tayeh is serving time in the Georgia Department of Correction for killing his second ex-wife’s divorce attorney. He admitted to murdering Doug Lewis and setting his office on fire.

Now, Sangamon County authorities are taking another look at the disappearance of his first wife, Patricia Danner. Patricia Danner’s family is still grieving the loss nearly 35 years later. By sharing their story, they’re hoping to get closure and bring justice to Patricia.

Patricia Danner was only 34 years old when she went missing. To this day, her family still doesn’t know what happened to the mother of three from Glen Arm. She is presumed dead by authorities.

Norma Kinsel is Patricia's sister. The last time Kinsel saw her sister was on Jan. 7, 1989.

The Sangamon County Sheriff’s Department said Tayeh has always been a person of interest in Patricia's disappearance and he still is today. In fact, Sangamon County Sheriff’s Deputies drove down to the Georgia prison to interview Tayeh. They talked with him for more than four hours but he denied knowing anything about her disappearance.

"Maybe somebody would come forward and try to help and give her give her family closure because it's been so long, this big question mark, what happened and you know, bring your body home and bury her in a decent grave," Kinsel said.

Patricia's family said although they have no proof, they believe Tayeh isn’t telling the full story.

"My mom deserves justice and so I'm not going to let that fear hold me back anymore. So, I just want to get this information out there and hope that there’s somebody who will also not let that fear get in the way," Sara said.

My guess is she’s not too far from where she was last seen. Hopefully they are able to find evidence! From the link posted earlier: This story is part of a series that our Julia Rosier is investigating. Tune in Wednesday, Nov. 15, to learn more about the investigation and what new technology Sangamon County officials are using to look for evidence at the home where the family lived in Glenarm.

These are the the only remains listed in NamUs that were found within about a 50 mile radius of Glenarms.

Partial skeletal remains were found on 04/25/2018 on Yaeger Lake Trail in a wooded area south of the parking area in Litchfield, IL. An anthropology review shows that this individual may be black with an admixture of Native American/Hispanic. An archeological review shows these remains may be historic.

These were found in Springfield in 2022. No identifying information.
 
Patricia Danner Abu-Tayeh, 1989

The last time anyone saw her alive was Jan. 7, 1989. Patricia, 34, took her husband, Abed, to his parents’ house in Springfield and left to run some errands. She stopped back by his parents’ house and returned home to Glenarm. Abed got a ride home later from a friend. He said she was gone when he arrived. Authorities said at the time Abed did not “fully cooperate” in the attempts to locate his wife.

Sheriff Campbell said new technology could play a major role in finding new evidence. Investigators want to scan through concrete and do a side scan sonar of the property.

"We're hoping that we can actually scan through the concrete, so we have a couple of places on the property or just concrete that we'd like to look at...You can see if the ground was disrupted below, even an angle," Campbell said.
