VONDA DONALDSON-28 YO-Johnson City TN

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. -
Johnson
City Police are asking folks to take close look at the picture of
28-year-old Vonda Donaldson; she has been missing for days.
"The last place we can put her is Saturday night in Johnson City," says Johnson City Police Lt. Steve Sherfey.
Police
say Donaldson was last seen that night leaving a wedding. Her family
called police Sunday when she failed to pick up her children.
"This is very unusual for her family, not to be able to get hold of her," said Sherfey.
They
searched her apartment Monday looking for clues, but detectives say
they fear foul play based on statements from people she may have with.
"We have some witnesses been talking to. Some of the stories are not
matching up," described Sherfey.
At one point officers were searching for her car. They found it in a mobile home park, but they won't say who had it.
It's currently being processed as possible evidence.
Detectives are also looking at her cell phone records to hopefully track her movements.
Anyone with information about Donaldson's disappearance is urged to contact police. The number is (423) 434-6158.

Was Vonda Berry Marshall Donaldson Murdered?

10/02/2012
Twenty-eight-year-old Vonda Berry Marshall Donaldson has been missing
since Saturday after she was last seen dropping her children off with
their father. Now cops seems to believe the missing Johnson City woman
may have been harmed some how. Was she murdered?
The search for this missing woman has led investigators to Watauga
Lake, where they believe she was dumped off a bridge. There aren't many
details in this developing story, and it seems that officials in East
Tennessee are keeping those details under a tight lid. It's apparent,
though, that Vonda Berry Marshall Donaldson met some kind of foul play
while missing, but investigators have given no reason as to why they
suspect any of this.
If Vonda was murdered,
who has the motive to do something like this? If she was last seen
dropping her children off to their father, could he be at all considered
a suspect in this case? This source reveals
that police are questioning someone who was found with the missing
woman's vehicle, which is a good sign in this already tragic case.
Perhaps they can get somewhere in what happened to her.

Never go with a guy who has a neck tatoo And because he has a temper her children grow up without their mother. So very sad.

10/3/2012: I regret to bring the news Vonda
Berry Marshall missing from Johnson City, Tennessee has been ▬►LOCATED
DECEASED according to the Facebook page set up by her family: It's been a
really sad day. Being with the family today when t
hey
received the news about Vonda was so, so very sad. The officers that
came was very nice and broke the news as easily as they possibly could.

Just being a friend of the family I would rather not say anything about
what they told us. I feel it's the family's place to tell what they
want to in their own time and in their own ways. Right now they need the
time to grieve the loss of Vonda in their own ways also.

Just
please keep the entire family in your thoughts and Prayers. This is very
hard on each and everyone of them. Prayers, God giving them strength
and friends will see them through this.
