Vital Statistics

Circumstances of Disappearance:

Deanna and her grandmother stayed up late watching movies on the evening of July 21. After her grandmother went to bed, Merryfield sneaked out of the house and went to visit her twin sister, who lived with an uncle two and a half miles away at the Oak Springs Trailer Park on Dimple Street. Merryfield's sister says Merryfield arrived at the trailer park at 3:30 a.m., riding in a brown vehicle driven by two men, one of whom may have been Hispanic. Merryfield knocked on the trailer window to wake her twin up and the two girls talked for a while. Merryfield left with the men in their vehicle after her uncle woke up. She has never been heard from again.

Additional Details:

The missing person case was filed ON 10-27-1995 and entered into NCIC but for reasons unknown, dropped from NCIC. In 2007, Deanna's grandmother sought any information on the case, and the error was corrected.
