2 MISSING IN CALIFORNIA

MISSING : CALIFORNIA

CASE : 53

7 year old Donna Lee Fowler a White Female went Missing with-out a trace on 11-10-1980 from Trinity California located in Trinity County..

http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/804dfca.html

Fowler was last seen on 11-10-1980 in Trinity California...

Donna was kept home from school that day and told her grandfather that she was going to run away. ..

She was last seen at 14.30 that day near the Joss House Historical Museum downtown & her mother reported her missing at 23.30...

Donna was not reported missing right away because she had "run away" before and had always gone to a friend's house...

There was an investigation that included a search with bloodhounds--hypnosis of two Redding men who thought they saw Donna & a reward raised by a local businessman but she was never found...

In August 2007 they dug up a well in Weaverville after getting a tip that Donna's remains had been placed in an old well in the area...

But no evidence of Donna was located there...

In December 2008 Wayne Harvey Smith confessed to killing Donna....

Smith lived near Donna's family in Weaverville & he knew them. Investigators long suspected that Smith was responsible for her disappearance. ..

They did not have the evidence to arrest Smith or to officially name him as a suspect at the time...

He left town shortly after the little girl vanished in November 1980...

Investigators spoke to Smith about the Donna Fowler case after his arrest in 1985 but he denied responsibility..

A break came when DNA linked Smith to a 1983 cold case in Los Angeles County...

In a December 2, 2008 interview, given as part of a plea deal to avoid the death penalty in the 1983 case Smith admitted to killing Donna on the day she went missing...

Smith stated that Donna came to his 'shack' & wouldn't leave...

Smith became angry & strangled Donna...

Smith stated he took Donna to the Weaverville landfill & placed her body there. ..

At the time the landfill was an open pit that residents threw their garbage in. ..

Because of the time elapsed & changes at the landfill over the last 28 years there will be no attempt to recover Donna's remains...

Donna's Mother was willing to allow a deal that had been made with Smith..

Since Smith was already serving time in prison and would never be released. ..

The missing person case has been reclassified as a homicide & the investigation has been closed...

Smith is serving life in prison without parole for another homicide...
