"Hope Police Department

It has been a month since Donna Mitchell has went missing. We have interviewed many people, have searched every conceivable route from Hartsville to Letts and have even done an aerial search complements of ISP and still no leads.

She was last confirmed at the Brown Bottle liquor store in Hartsville around 8:00 pm on the night she went missing. She was documented by video walking out the door and has not been seen since.

We are still pursuing differing investigative avenues. We ask if anyone has any information to please come forward-no matter how significant or insignificant you think your information is. We also ask that property owners between Hartsville and Letts search your property for anything that may have been missed. You know your property far better than anyone and could see/find any anomalies much better than anyone.

Thank you again to everyone for their help, patience and understanding." BBM

ETA bolding.

I wonder who she was visiting. I wonder if her liquor store purchase can provide any clues to what she was planning for the evening.

I am not on any social media so can't reach the family, but they might benefit from knowing that Donna is NOT profiled on NAMUS. Seems that search has been very localized, and with her in a car....

Apparently the Decatur County Sheriff is unaware of NaMus -- or 'too busy' to register her on the database.
