Unknown. Donna had recently finished her freshman year at San Diego State University and was spending the summer at her parent's house in Rancho Santa Margarita, an Orange County, California suburb. Since she didn't live in the area, she was trying to meet new friends on the internet. On June 23, 2007 at around 5:30 pm, Donna Jou did just that: she met a man she had previously corresponded with on Craigslist. Police have now named that man, John Steven Burgess, as a person of interest in Jou's missing person case. Burgess, who is in his mid-thirties, drove a black motorcycle and wore a sleeveless white t-shirt on the day he picked up Donna. He also has a tattoo on his left shoulder. Detectives say that Burgess, who is a registered sex offender, met Donna Jou on Craigslist. Authorities searched Donna's computer and cell phone records and were able to pinpoint that Jou had indeed corresponded with Burgess and talked to him on the phone. Police now know the pair were headed to a party at a house that Burgess rents in Los Angeles. It was at this residence that Donna Jou was last seen. Detectives say that the only form of communication from Donna came in the form of a text message the day after her disappearance. Authorities in Orange County, California say that Burgess has been uncooperative in helping to locate Jou. The convicted sex offender has not been charged in Jou's disappearance. |
