Donetha Laverne Snead, aged 32, was last seen on April 21, 1993, in St. Augustine, Florida. Her disappearance remained unsolved for several years until serial killer William Darrell Lindsey confessed to her murder in 1997. Lindsey admitted to picking Donetha up as she walked along West King Street in St. Augustine. They spent the day together at his trailer before Lindsey brutally attacked her after she revealed she was HIV-positive. He then disposed of her body in a creek near a wooded area.
Despite his confession and leading authorities to the site, her remains were never recovered.
Donetha's case is linked to Lindsey, who was convicted for multiple murders in Florida, including the killing of another woman, Diana Richardson, whose body was also never found. Lindsey pled guilty to six murders and was sentenced to 30 years in prison, where he later died in 2001. Donetha’s remains have yet to be found, leaving a tragic mystery surrounding her death.Last Seen: Apr 21, 1993
