February 26, 1984. East Windsor, New Jersey. Nineteen-year-old Donna Macho disappears from her family home without a trace. Her car is found abandoned near a sewer plant, and her skeletal remains are discovered 11 years later in a wooded area near a farm.
At the time of her disappearance, the police had a promising suspect, but given the limitations of forensic testing in 1984, the case went unresolved for decades.
This is the story of a young woman's life cut short, a family's decades-long quest for answers, and the relentless pursuit of justice that finally brought closure to a nearly 40-year-old mystery.
