Details of Disappearance
Autumn disappeared from Ormond Beach, Florida on May 10, 2004. For nearly twenty years she was assumed to have left of her own accord. In March 2024, her murder was discovered and solved.
Police learned Autumn had known a man named Brian Donley and his girlfriend. In 2021, a tipster told them the couple had been involved in the murder and burial of a unspecified teenager somewhere in Volusia County, Florida. Donley died in May 2022. When authorities interviewed the girlfriend and offered her immunity, she admitted she had seen Donley choke Autumn to death. She did not know what he had done with the body and he told her multiple stories as to what happened to it.
Authorities checked the location where the couple had lived in a trailer at the time of Autumn's disappearance, and found her burial site using ground-penetrating radar. A paved driveway had been poured over her grave. The case is considered solved, as the only suspect, Donley, is dead.
