Donald Joseph Connell
Donald Joseph Connell is a United States Marine Corps Veteran who went missing on December 2, 1986 in Newport, Rhode Island. Connell left his parents house on foot to meet his sister at her home which was one street away. His sister was driving to her house and when she arrived, he was not there. He was reported missing by his father ten days later on December 12, 1986, his sister’s birthday. Because Donald was over 21 years of age, law enforcement did not thoroughly investigate his disappearance as it being a result of wrongdoing.
At the time of Donald’s disappearance, missing persons were not broadcast and published in media as widely as they are now and there was no major search for him. His family and the Newport Police Detectives are still trying to obtain his medical and dental records but are having a tough time. Connell is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. As of November 18, 2015, Connell’s sister shared that Senator Jack Reed’s Aide Wendy DelCarmen contacted her and she will be sending her a ‘Waiver for Senate Assistance’ allowing Senator Reed to intercede and act on Connell's behalf to obtain and review documentation from the USMC and/or the Veterans Administration for his medical/dental records. Few details are available in his case.
