Jaclyn Dowaliby - (Gone in The Night) IL
Post by FindCarrie on Sep 14th, 2004, 08:07am

On Sept. 14, 1988 Jaclyn Dowaliby vanished in the night from her bedroom. Suspicion would fall on her mother Cynthia and David Dowaliby. Jaclyn's body was found five days later in a wooded area near an apartment complex. Her father was convicted of her murder but the sentence was later overturned and he was released. Later an uncle would come forward to say that he knew the full lay out of the house and described it as it would have looked the night Jaclyn vanished. The uncle was mentally ill and he had never been in the house before. He was never charged. To date, Jaclyn's murder remains unsolved.
