Details of Disappearance

O'Connell was last seen walking on New York Avenue toward U.S. 19 in Hudson, Florida during the late afternoon hours of July 5, 2009. She has never been heard from again.

O'Connell's boyfriend, James "Jimmy" Rappa, was the last person to see her; he stated they got into an argument and she left their home angrily, on foot, and he never saw her again. O'Connell's family stated Rappa was abusive towards her, and he's considered a person of interest in her disappearance. He has a criminal history dating back to 1992, but not for any violent offenses.

Foul play is suspected in O'Connell's disappearance. She left behind a teenage son. Her case remains unsolved.
