## Resource

On July 22, 1990, 13-year-old Deanna Merryfield was last seen in Killeen, Texas. In the early morning hours, she left her grandmother’s house to visit her twin sister and was later seen getting into a dark sedan with two older teenage boys. She was never seen or heard from again. More than three decades later, Deanna’s disappearance remains unsolved. Her family is still searching for answers and working to bring her home. Anyone who knew Deanna in 1990 or earlier is asked to come forward, even if they believe the information is minor. Because there was so little investigation in the beginning, even basic details could matter. You can also reach the family at FindingDeanna.com . If you have any information about Deanna or her disappearance, please contact the Killeen Police Department at 254-501-8891.
