Donna Marie Crudup, a 24-year-old Black female, has been missing from Washington D.C. since 1986. At the time of her disappearance, she was described as being 5'6" tall and weighing 135 pounds, with black hair and hazel/brown eyes. Distinguishing features included a mole on her upper lip and a scar on her forehead. Crudup may have used the aliases Sandar or Tomlinson.
The last confirmed sighting of Crudup was in June 1986. Sometime that year, possibly in the fall, she was a patient at a local hospital for pulmonary edema, which is fluid in the lungs. It is reported that she checked herself out of the hospital against medical advice. Hospital records have not been able to confirm the exact date of this event. She has not been seen or heard from since.
Family members described Donna as kindhearted and willing to help others, but also as a follower who had gotten involved with drugs. About a month before she went missing, Crudup had reportedly told her family that a man from Africa named Jerome wanted to marry her. Her mother had cautioned her against rushing into this relationship. Crudup's family attempted to obtain her hospital records to get a more precise date for her disappearance, but their requests were denied. In the years since she vanished, her mother has searched for her in other hospitals and mental health facilities to no avail. Few details are available in her case, which is being handled by the Metropolitan Police Department.
Last Seen: Jan 09, 1986
