GREENSBURG, Ind. —The Decatur County Sheriff’s Department is seeking any tips relating to a Hope woman who has been missing for three years as of this weekend. Donna Mitchell was last seen on Tuesday, February 11, 2020, at around 7:30 p.m. at the Brown Bottle liquor store in Hartsville. After she went missing, she was believed to be in extreme danger, having not taken the medication she was dependent on when she left her home in Hope.
Her destination after leaving the store was a Decatur County address near County Roads 60SW and 600S. She was driving a maroon 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer with a license plate of 902QAK. It has never been recovered. A Silver Alert was issued at the time of her disappearance but eventually canceled due to a lack of information.
In the past three years, aerial searches have taken place in the area where she was believed to have been traveling, with no results. Property owners in the area allowed investigators to search ponds and lakes in the area as well with sonar equipment, but again, investigators were not able to find anything.
Mitchell was born on January 2, 1963. She is a white female, 5 foot 3 inches tall, weighing 115 pounds, with brown hair, and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing glasses, a tan Carhart jacket, and blue jeans with a flower decal on the pant leg.
In an effort to bring the case to a conclusion, additional investigators have been assigned and will be actively pursuing old and new leads, according to the Decatur County Sheriff’s Department.
Anyone with tips on Donna Mitchell that have not already been provided to investigators, including those relating to ponds, lakes, or filled-in ponds/lakes not yet searched, should call 812-663-8125.
