The sister of a rising senior in Pforzheizmer House has been missing for nearly three weeks, prompting a large-scale search in the Southern California community where she was last seen.

Donna H. Jou, a 19-year-old student at San Diego State University, left her home around 5:30 p.m. on June 23 with an unidentified man who police now think is John Steven Burgess. The man, who according to Jou’s mother was a described by Jou as a friend’s boyfriend, was wearing a white, sleeveless shirt, blue jeans and a black motorcycle helmet when he and Jou left the family’s Rancho Santa Margarita home. Burgess, who was convicted on three counts of battery in 2002 and of performing a lewd act against a child in 2003, also owns a 1998 Ford Ranger pickup.
Jou told her family that they were going to a house party in Santa Monica, and she was last seen the night of June 23 at Burgess’ Los Angeles home, according to witnesses.
