Wardi McDonald, 34: Last Seen By Her Siblings In 2001

This is another "one-sentence" case that has been on the books for decades. When I say "one sentence," I mean that in any report I could find, there is only one sentence to explain the case's circumstances.
There are thousands of these within databases, especially those involving Black women, as details are either unknown or the authorities haven't shared any information that could help with the investigation. The story of Wardi McDonald reads like several others, as she vanished from Detroit, Michigan, on February 1, 2001.
