The Truth Finally Comes Out

According to Burgess, on the day that Donna came to his house in Los Angeles for “tutoring,” he gave her a mix of cocaine, heroin, and alcohol. He then says that when he woke up the next morning, Donna was dead. It would seem that she had overdosed from the concoction. He completely freaked out, claiming he “made a really bad decision” and took her body on his sailboat to dump her in the ocean.

Could It Be True?

Although the Jou family feared the worst, hearing the devastating news was still so heartbreaking. According to the Jou family’s attorney, Gloria Allred, “It’s been heartbreaking for the Jou family not to have known what happened to their daughter. They knew she was last seen with John Steven Burgess at his home.” Plus, the idea that their straight A, honor roll, 4.4 GPA wielding daughter could have been involved in something like this was beyond their craziest imagination.
