It has come to my attention that TWO employees of the Sahara, both women, were assaulted in the parking lot of the hotel/casino in the weeks surrounding Donna’s disappearance.

(via the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office)

I wish there were, but it does come from a reliable source. The Sheriff’s Department.

It has to be more than coincidence. Two other female employees assaulted in the parking lot.

It has been discussed if what happened to Donna happened in the parking lot. The possibility of Donna going outside of the casino and it happening outside. A lot more believable than her being taken from within and someone sneaked her dead or passed out body outside.

An attempted rape or a robbery gone wrong, a purposeful kidnapping? I suppose we’ll never know, but with other potential victims…it just raises my doubt that Donna was the specific target of whoever it was who did whatever it was he did to her.

Descriptions of this man from the other women who were assaulted would definitely be a plus.

Well this is upsetting to me, cause I asked the Sheriff’s Dept. before that exact question and was told, there was nothing other than the normal robberies. No guy on girl type of stuff. Well sounds like in reality there was and specifically at the Sahara parking area. I have a hard time not believing it was Z related, cause a month to the day of Donna’s disappearance, Someone sends that Z like postcard out. Now maybe that was Z, and maybe just another nut. Lord knows plenty of strangeos in those Sierra Tahoe hills. And it sounds like the phone call that took place notifying Donna’s boss, may have been the Apt. Manager (which would make sense), but it then makes me think of Norman Bates. Always seemed odd on her first day at the Monte Verdi, and she disappears, could be a coincidence. maybe not. But her work station, and her log book makes me think it had something to do with the inside of the Sahara, like the person would know their name is in her book? Could still be the Apt. Manager, Z, or anyone. Like I always say about this case, the more I learn ,the less I know.
And I would think if gals were being attacked out in the parking lots, that is the kind of news that wouldn’t make the local Tahoe press. i know the clubs did their best to keep negative publicity down. Did the Sheriff give you any details of the attacks. Were these like would be rapes right in the parking lot, or abductions that the gals were able to fight off their attackers? And did they get ID’s on those cases?

This case has so many twists and turns.

When I thought there was an unknown caller who called her landlord and her work, I thought it must have SURELY been someone she knew…and it still could be. Although now, knowing there were two other women attacked in the parking lot who worked there, I question whether it was a fellow employee or a regular.

It’s just after learning there was no mysterious calls to her work or landlord (or so it would seem), and now two others…it’s just not what it appeared to be for all these years. To me anyway.

There were no other details of the attacks…and nothing was shared in regards to possibilities of it being linked to Donna. It was written in a report from 1970.

There is some evidence pointing towards her making it home before whatever happened to her happened.

I forgot that it wasn’t just 2 other women, but 2 other employees, you would think LE would have been all over that……Not sure what evidence exists that Donna ever made it home after her shift.
