Vanished in the Shadows of Los Angeles: Where Is Donna Caroll ?

A Holiday Message That Never Led Home

Missing person in California. It was December 24, 2024. The streets of Los Angeles bustled with holiday energy. But for Donna Caroll , 39, it was not a time of joy. It was the last day her family heard her voice. She said she feared for her safety.

She sounded distressed. That call marked her last known contact.

Donna Caroll: A Life on the Edge

Donna moved to Los Angeles chasing a new start. Like many, she faced hardships. Her situation worsened, and she became homeless. Despite that, she kept in touch with her family.

Weeks often passed between updates. But she always found a way to check in. That’s why this silence feels different. It’s now been over five months.

Her last message came with a photo — a selfie. Behind her stood the recognizable corner of 7th and Figueroa, near the mall. The image was grainy, but her eyes said everything.

She looked scared.

No Clues, No Leads, Just Questions

Since then, not a trace.

Donna is 5’4”, weighs about 130 pounds, and has lived unsheltered for some time. That makes her hard to find and even harder to trace. The streets don’t leave trails.

She could have blended into the crowd or been pushed further out — into isolation, danger, or worse. Her fear wasn’t random. She told her family someone was following her. But she didn’t say who. Now, that unknown haunts those who love her.

The Search Hasn’t Stopped

Her family refuses to let her story fade. Flyers went up. Calls were made. Shelters were visited. They asked bus drivers, security guards, even street vendors.

Nothing.

Still, they search.

They remember Donna Caroll as kind, artistic, and resilient. She had dreams of photography and once wrote poems late into the night. Life got harder, but she stayed hopeful — until that final call.
