Description

On February 7, 1983 at approx. 10:00pm Donna Urban, supposedly wearing a light-colored coat, stopped her car at the center of the Delaware Memorial Bridge in the extreme right northbound lane (lane #1 L. S. #b-123), got out of her car and jumped off the bridge into the Delaware River below. Officers at the scene called for search and rescue units, which arrived shortly afterwards. They continued the search throughout the night, but had negative results. Officers then searched Ms. Urban's car for evidence of suicide, but the search also had negative results. Past medical records state that Ms. Urban was clinically depressed and noted two previous failed attempts to end her life.
