Trammel let him inside; Donel was asleep at the time. While he was there, the man asked for a drink of water and Trammel left the room to get him one. When she returned, both Donel and the man were gone. No ransom note or any other clues were left behind, and neither Donel not the suspect has ever been seen again. The man, whose sketch is posted with this case summary, was approximately 6'0 and had brown hair, a mustache and a thin build.
