See also Lass (disambiguation).

Donna Ann Lass (November 3, 1944 – c.1970) was a nurse who went missing in September 1970.

Background

Donna Lass was the daughter of James P. Lass (August 28, 1897 – March 30, 1973) and of Frances Mary (Kukar) Lass (November 24, 1900 – August 5, 1982). Her father had been a farmer in the area of Beresford, South Dakota, and she was a 1962 graduate of Beresford High School. She moved to the area of South Lake Tahoe, California in May 1970.

Disappearance

Donna Lass worked as a nurse at the Sahara Tahoe resort casino in Stateline, Nevada. On September 6, 1970, she signed her last entry in her log book at 1:50 a.m. She was never seen leaving the Sahara, however her car was found at her apartment complex at Stateline. Lass, then 25, was never seen again.

The next day, Lass' landlord and employer both received calls from a man who told them that Lass was ill and had left because of a family emergency. The call proved to be a hoax.

A month later, a paste-up postcard was received by the San Francisco Chronicle, hinting that Lass's disappearance was connected to the Zodiac Killer. Six months later, on March 22, 1971, another paste-up postcard was received by the San Francisco Chronicle, the San Francisco Examiner, and the San Francisco Times. No evidence was ever uncovered to connect Donna Lass's disappearance with the Zodiac Killer.[1]
