Died as the result of being struck by a tractor-trailer on the Interstate. Personal Effects: Two cards and $30 Other Details: Decedent believed to be between 12 and 25 years old. Decedent was apparently a hitchhiker who may have used the first name "Donna" while traveling.

In her pockets, she carried three business cards from; 1) Oklahoma City,OK 2)Canutillo, TX 3)West Monroe, LA. Investigators contacted the names on the cards. Two of the three were of no help. The third was a Louisiana police officer who believed he had spoken to the girl several days before she was killed. He recalled that he believed she was a runaway and had either a friend or sister in Las Vegas. He believed he remembered a thick cajun accent.
