When a 12-year-old girl disappeared from her home on a summer night in 1988, police took

her father's word that she'd run away just as she had more than once before. But more than 30

years later, there's still no sign of the missing girl. And her father's story just isn't adding up.

I'm Kylie Lowe, and this is the case of Doreen Vincent on Dark Down East.

It was the evening of Saturday, June 18th, 1988, and Donna Lee Jones was on route to her ex-husband Mark Vincent's new house, where their 12-year-old daughter, Doreen Vincent, was living with Mark

and his wife Sharon and her children. Donna hadn't been to the new house yet.

They'd moved into the big purple-painted farmhouse on Whirlwind Hill Road in Wallingford, Connecticut

only about 10 days before. But she talked to Sharon earlier that week to ask for directions.

Donna was supposed to pick up Doreen on Friday, but when Friday rolled around, Donna called

their house several times and no one answered the phone. She actually hadn't been able to

reach anyone at their house for days now. So the next day, Donna decided to just show up. She was

looking forward to some mother-daughter time with Doreen, especially after not being

able to reach her on the phone for the last few days.

According to an award-winning article by Jason J. Barry titled, Where is Doreen Vincent?

Published in the Record Journal on May 6, 2001.

When Donna pulled up to Mark's house early that Saturday, he was outside puttering around with a lawnmower.

He acted confused and almost annoyed to see her.

Donna asked Mark where Doreen was, but Mark threw the question right back at her.

As Donna describes it, he said that Doreen wasn't there and that she ran away and was apparently unconcerned.

He just assumed that Doreen was with Donna.

It wouldn't be the first time Doreen left and went straight to her mother's place.

It was true that Doreen had run away before.
