NIU Student's 1970 Murder Still Unsolved
DEKALB, Ill. (AP) -- Doreen Vogt was watching the evening news when tragic scenes from Northern Illinois University filled her with a pain she's spent the last four decades trying to forget.

It was happening again.

A student didn't come home. Friends were forming search parties. A mom and dad back in the suburbs wondered if they'd ever hold their daughter again.

Vogt is one of the few who understand the sorrow of the family of NIU freshman Antinette "Toni" Keller, presumed slain last month near campus.

The same thing happened to Vogt's sister 40 years ago, nearly to the day, in an eerily similar case that spurred panic on campus.

NIU senior Donna Doll was last seen leaving her job at the school library on Oct. 2, 1970. The 21-year-old never returned to her rooming house on Lincoln Highway.
