Justice for Donna Lee Ingersol

For this episode of Lost Girls, we go back to a freezing December night in 1990, when 25-year-old Donna Lee Ingersoll ran out the back door of a house in Wabasha, Minnesota — and seemingly vanished into the cold.

Donna had been drinking with friends that evening. Witnesses say she argued with her boyfriend, Gary Murphy, shortly before 11:45 p.m., then bolted into the night without her purse, glasses, money, or coat — despite bitterly cold temperatures. Her car, a brown 1982 Pontiac Bonneville, was left behind. An extensive search turned up nothing.

In the months that followed, grief and suspicion hung heavy. Murphy later died by suicide, though whether that tragedy connects to Donna’s disappearance remains unclear. Investigators have long considered another unsettling possibility: that Donna may never have made it out of that house at all.

She was small in stature — just under five feet tall — with blonde hair, green eyes, and a cross tattoo on her arm. A young woman with a complicated life, struggling at times with heavy drinking, but still someone’s daughter, someone’s friend, someone who mattered.

More than three decades later, Donna Lee Ingersoll’s case remains unsolved. In this episode, we revisit the timeline, the contradictions, and the questions that still linger in the silence she left behind.
