WISCONSIN (WEAU) - May 1979. That’s when Dona Mae Bayerl of Muskego was last seen. Her daughter, Jackie Kort, was four years old. “I lived most of my life without really having anybody to talk about it to,” said Kort.

In 2019, Kort’s father was convicted of killing her mother and sentenced to life in prison. “One of those unusual cases because my mom is still missing. We are still looking for her. I still want answers,” she said.

However, a post-conviction relief hearing is scheduled for February, which means depending on what the judge decides, there could be a new trial.

“Just because there was a trial and a sentencing doesn’t mean family walked away with closure,” said Jackie Kort.
