Donna’s friend recalled, in a later interview, that they had observed a cream colored vehicle following them during their walk.
The girls parted ways in the area of Lasalle Street which was the last time Donna was seen. Donna Albright was last seen wearing
a beige long sleeved top, striped bell bottom pants and clog sandals. She was also wearing a thin gold necklace and a gold ring,

On September 9, 1976, the remains of a human body were found during an excavation in Hackensack, NJ. The excavation site, located
at 9 Camden Street, was a boarding house and inhabited by various transients during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The remains were
