She seems to be from York, PA. She was in the news for stabbing her bf in 1995, and more criminal history.

Any updates?

I can't find anything..

I can't find anything..

All I can find is that her family suspects she's dead, most recently stated in her father's obit this past October. Of course her family would suspect that (it's by far the most likely scenario), but that shouldn't change her NamUs status without proof. No actual developments, though.

6 years ago, another family member noted:
1) The family is convinced that one of her two exes knows something, especially the most recent one, who claimed to have spoken to her months after she was last seen. (Cops probably couldn't find enough evidence.)
2) She had a history of disappearing/reappearing for months at a time, until the last.
3) Her son committed suicide 2 years after she went missing, and she still never reappeared.

Thanks for the info.

I started this thread for DB's daughter. She PMed me, after reading my post in a different thread, where I suggested DB as a possible match to a Jane Doe. That was the only time I saw her here,

Hope she has found some closure.

MOO JMO

You're welcome.

Not sure how much closure there would be to be found, unfortunately. Only thing different is the amount of time that's passed.

I meant DB's daughter.

I meant DB's daughter.

Oh I know. I'm just saying that usually there isn't actual closure until a missing person is found alive, or there's a body or physical proof of death, even if the logical conclusion is that the person is dead. In this case, the logical conclusion is that DB is dead, despite no physical proof; there's just been more time passed with no word from her. Early on, they apparently suspected murder by one of her two exes, most likely the most recent one, and being a no-show when her son took his own life only raised that probability; however, I haven't seen that there have been any developments after the initial 2-3 years. I hope her daughter and the rest of her family are well, despite the tragedies.

Thanks again for the info, @Aegon_the_Conqueror!
Just out of curiosity (and, of course, you don't have to answer my question), are you related to DB?

No problem.

No, I'm not. I only first heard of this case a few days ago. It caught my attention because I briefly lived near Williamstown when I was little (although our mailing address was there), and it isn't often that I see the town mentioned for any reason.
