0:00.0	And the Oh, And the Hello. Hello everyone and welcome to our latest episode of the Trail went cold.
0:49.0	I'm your host Robin Warder and nope do not double check your calendars this is not the end of the year and that is the iconic
0:56.6	Unsolved mysteries update music you just heard it is now time for the trail went cold's
1:01.9	fifth special update episode.
1:04.8	So as I'm sure you're well aware, we already dropped our last update episode just over two months
1:09.4	ago at the end of 2023, so you might be wondering why we're already releasing another one.
1:15.0	Well believe it or not since the start of the new year there have been major developments
1:20.0	and resolutions in quite a few cases which were featured on the trail went cold, so

2:41.0	It involves the 1970 disappearance of 25-year-old Donna Lass, which I covered over seven years ago on Minneso, number four.
2:49.0	Donna was employed as a registered nurse at the first aid station of the Sahara Tahoe Hotel and Casino in State Line Nevada
2:57.2	and showed up to workers scheduled shift, which ran from 6 p.m. on September 5th until 2 a.m. on September the 6th.
