Morf, the missing Donna Lass and Wayne Lass wouldn’t have been first cousins since their nearest common relative was a great grandfather. They would be second cousins. Did Mary Pilker, Donna’s sister that spent a lot of time and money trying to locate her, ever mention Wayne Lass? I do not recall that Wayne is mentioned in any reports or newspaper articles. I’d think that Wayne would have been a good local contact for both Donna’s family and LE if they had any kind of a relationship.

I don’t know the answer. Sorry, my memory is foggy, I forgot they shared same great grandfather not grandfather

This is very confusing,

How was Donna lea Lass, the Vallejo lass (new young) a Lass in 74 Vallejo newspaper when her divorce to Winters was in 75?
And Mary Pilker being listed as Eugene lass sister in his obituary?

Donna Lea Lass did not get divorced in 75, her sister Shirley did. Donna Lea Lass was still married to Wayne Lass, who is the 2nd cousin of the missing Donna Ann Lass

Foreigner, the confusion from this original post from you:

"Of possible interest: Vallejo Donna Lea Lass sister Shirley died in Vallejo in 1976 only 38 years old.
Donna Lea Lass had a sister, Shirley A Winters nee Shirley Ann Young, DOB:11 Sep 1938
Shirley died 26 Jun 1976 in Vallejo only 38 years old !!!
I have not been able to find her cause of death, anyone know?
Shirley divorced her husband Donald W Winters March 1975"

I missed the word LEA in the sentence "Donna Lea Lass sister Shirley died in Vallejo" and thought it said ANN, sorry for the confusion. Still, this is Wayne’s wife Donna Lea which makes Shirley not related at all to missing Donna Ann Lass, unless you consider being married to a cousin related….sorry carry on

I did write Vallejo Donna Lea Lass, to make sure none would mix her up with disappeared Donna Ann Lass:

Of possible interest:
Vallejo Donna Lea Lass sister Shirley died in Vallejo in 1976 only 38 years old.

Shirley divorced her husband Donald W Winters March 1975
