Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP5720) and 3 other sources
Patricia Ann Donaldson, a 33-year-old woman from Jackson, Ohio, vanished on August 27, 2009. At the time of her disappearance, she lived on Sour Run Road with her husband, Mark. Details surrounding the day she was last seen are scarce, but it is known that she has not been heard from since. Patricia, also known as Trish, was a mother and a cherished family member whose sudden absence left a void filled with unanswered questions and lingering heartache. She is described as a white female with brown hair and blue eyes, standing at 5'6' and weighing between 130 and 150 pounds. Distinctive features include a slight discoloration of one of her front teeth, a light-colored birthmark on her upper abdomen, and a Cesarean section scar. She also wore either glasses or contact lenses.

The investigation into Patricia's disappearance took a turn when her husband, Mark, also disappeared shortly after she was last seen. He had been facing unrelated charges of theft and receiving stolen property, and after an initial court appearance in August 2009, he failed to appear for subsequent hearings. Mark remained a fugitive until he was located and arrested in Miami, Florida, in 2013. Authorities conducted searches of the Donaldsons' former property on Sour Run Road in both 2011 and 2013 in hopes of finding any sign of Patricia. During one of these searches, rumors circulated that her body had been discovered in a well on the property, but these reports were later confirmed to be false. The Jackson County Sheriff's Office is the primary agency investigating her case.

The lack of resolution in Patricia's case has been a source of ongoing pain for her loved ones. Despite the passage of time, her case remains an open investigation, and is considered an unsolved homicide. The circumstances leading to her disappearance are still largely unknown to the public, leaving a painful void for her family and community. The case serves as a somber reminder of the many individuals who vanish, leaving behind families to grapple with the uncertainty and sorrow of not knowing what happened to their loved one. The investigation into what happened to Patricia Ann Donaldson continues.
