Not much information in this case so far. Other than a "last seen" date (11/22/21) and a general location we don't have much to go on. Her age isn't even listed. Hopefully Netterville's family and friends will release more information.

A good place to start might be Netterville's marital status and recent relationships, if any. Also helpful to know if Netterville has a criminal record or if she has a history of disappearing on her own.

"The apartment Netterville was renting caught fire on January 10"

all by itself?

No explanation offered, except that it had nothing to do with her disappearance....

Reporters covering this seem to have a regrettable lack of curiosity.

JMOO

Well, at least we know she lived in apartment, but that's not much help, and supposedly this fire isn't related to her disappearance. Do we know if this apartment is anywhere near Speed Street, where she was reportedly last seen?

Also the two media sources have different "last seen" dates, November 22nd and December 22nd.

 

[Dargon335]

With so few facts available in Donna Netterville's case it would be helpful if her family or local LE provided some additional information to get the discussion started.

Was she last seen on November 22nd, or was it December 22nd?

Who reported her missing, and who last saw Netterville in the Speed Street area?

Does she have any previous history of dropping out of sight, mental health issues, or substance abuse?

Based on the MSN.com report, Netterville rented an apartment but no other information was provided. Was this apartment close to where she was last seen? Did she live alone or was someone living with her? Did her neighbors in the building report anything unusual around the time she disappeared?

Was Netterville married, divorced, in a relationship around the time she was last seen?

Did Netterville have a cell phone? If so, was LE able to trace her phone after she was last seen?

Did she sent any emails or texts before she was last seen, indicating she might be in trouble?

Did she have a Facebook account? If so, what's posted there?

As part of their SOP, I'm sure Vicksburg LE has already checked into all of these areas but for some reason neither they or Netterville's family have released much information on this case.

Here's an article from a local Vicksburg news source. There isn't much info except that the apartment was located in the 500 block of Speed Street and was part of a duplex.

Firefighters returned at 5:30pm on 10 Jan. The original fire happened at 1:42am on 10 Jan.

YaYa_521, thanks for the link to this information.

At least we know that Netterville lived in a duplex on Speed Street, and that she was reportedly last seen the Speed Street area. Since she lived in a duplex her neighbors may have seen or heard something around the time she disappeared. Neighbors might also know who, if anyone, visited Netterville's apartment around the time she was last seen.

It's not certain whether this duplex fire was somehow related to Netterville's disappearance. The earlier MSN link says there was no connection but I'm not assuming anything in this case, especially with so little information released so far.

There are 22 registered sex offenders who live within 1 mile of where Donna went missing. One offender's address is right across the street from where Donna was last seen according to Google Maps. The location is worth noting but his age and the 2011 offense described in his profile don't necessarily set off alarm bells for me. MOO

This is unsettling to know, but good information to have in this case. At least we're aware of this possibility.

Do we know where on Speed Street Donna Netterville was last seen? The reports I've seen just mention the street name only, no specific location.

She appears on that career-connection site (rhymes with 'pink tin') as Donna Arnold-Netterville, an admin. asst. - and elsewhere with last names of Disotell and Gunn. Has lived in Jena, Vicksburg and Tallulah MS, and Detroit. College grad.

My speculation only - IANAE - JMOO - YMMV.

“As of right now my mother is missing, her apartment burned down and she hasn’t been seen since then. I saw her a few days before thanksgiving. This is not like her, that is why it is extremely strange because she does not do this type of thing. If anybody has seen her please contact your local authorities or get in contact with me on Facebook”, said KD.

Methinks KD could provide a lot of useful info if she wanted -- Donna's work site (rhymes with 'pink tin') gives her residence as Tallulah - worth noting that there is a town of that spelling near Vicksburg but in LA, and another town spelled 'Tallula' about 40 miles north, in MS. There is only one other of her name (that I could find) in that LA town. Starting with that individual, I would certainly like to know what all her husbands have been up to lately, and why does she (apparently) have her own apt. in Vicksburg? I also would like to know the origin of that fire -- seems too convenient to anyone wanting to destroy evidence.

JMOO - IANAE - YMMV.

Based on recent research and posts by YaYa_521, ?!?, and PommyMommy, we're starting to get at least some information in this case. There are still significant knowledge gaps here but with thanks to the other posters and a few Google searches I've pulled together a quick summary.

Name: Donna Jean Netterville (aka: Donna Jean Disotell, Donna Gunn Disotell, Donna Arnold Gunn, Donna Arnold, Donna Arnold-Netterville)
Age: 56
Appearance: Blonde hair, blue eyes, 5ft 9in tall
Profession: Administrative Assistant
Education: Bachelor of Science in Legal and Business Studies
Children: At least one known daughter, with Facebook account
Date last seen: November 22, 2021 (not December 22 as previously reported in the MSN link)
Last known residence: Duplex in 500 block of Speed Street, Vicksburg, MS
Location last seen: Speed Street in Vicksburg, MS (exact location unknown)
Formerly lived in: Jena, LA, Detroit, MI, Flowood, MS, Tallula, MS, Brandon, MS, Jackson, MS, Canton, GA, Delhi, LA

We don't have much information concerning her actual disappearance. The only report I've seen so far is that Netterville was last seen in the Speed Street area of Vicksburg. We don't know if she was last seen at her duplex, walking down the street, at the nearby gas station/convenience store, etc. We also don't know who was the last person to see her, what she was wearing, or who actually reported her missing.

It's unclear whether Netterville was living with anyone at that duplex, whether she had any history of substance abuse or mental health issues, or whether she's previously dropped out of sight.

We do know that about six weeks after Netterville was last seen there was a house fire at the duplex where she was living. Not many details have been released about this fire so it's not clear how/if this fire could be related to Netterville's disappearance.

It's unfortunate that Netterville's family members and Vicksburg LE haven't released more details about her disappearance so far.

 

[Dargon335]

According to MSM as of yesterday there was no new information regarding the disappearance of Donna Netterville.

Her daughter was on the Vicksburg news last week and said:

• She last saw Netterville "a few days before Thanksgiving".
• She's apparently the person who reported Netterville missing.
• Her mother's apartment burned down after her disappearance.
• She said her mother's disappearance is "extremely strange" and "she doesn't do this kind of thing".

Search continues

The MSM reports indicate Netterville was last seen "in the Speed Street area" but AFAIK neither the family or local LE have mentioned exactly where she was last seen.

Google maps shows a convenience store/gas station about a block away from Netterville's duplex, but it's not clear if she was seen there. If so, then there should be security video available.

IMO it's curious that her duplex caught fire, twice, shortly after Netterville disappeared, however local LE said they don't believe the fires are related to Netterville's disappearance. You would expect that local LE did a comprehensive search of Netterville's apartment before these fires, but nothing has been mentioned about that AFAIK.

There's been no mention in the media or by her daughter whether Netterville had a cell phone so we don't know if LE was able to track her movements around the time she disappeared.

 

[Dargon335]

I've seen nothing new on Netterville's disappearance. The last update I saw was her daughter being interviewed by local media a couple of weeks ago.

According to the Vicksburg Police Department website, Donna Netterville has been found and is safe. According to police reports, she is out of state and the family has been notified.

Found safe

Certainly good to see she's safe -- she sure does move around a lot!

 

[Dargon335]

@Darling136, thank you for giving us this update on Donna Netterville.

I'm glad she has been found safe. With so many tragic outcomes recently it's good to see news like this.

 

[Dargon335]

I was thinking about this case, where Donna Netterville dropped out of sight for a couple of months over the holidays. As mentioned, the good news here is that Donna was found alive and well.

The MSM report below says "According to police reports, she is out of state and the family has been notified." No other details were provided.

This is likely an internal family situation and we'll probably never know the details, but it makes you wonder what would cause someone to disappear for a couple of months, have no communication with their family members, involve LE in a MP case, and then be found safe living in another state.
