Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Bonadona was last seen in Pierre Part, Louisiana on April 18, 1997. He has never been heard from again. On April 20, his 1991 Ford Explorer was found stuck in the mud on a dirt road near a swamp, two miles west of Louisiana 996, near Brusly St. Martin. Bonadona's disappearance wasn't reported until April 21, the day after his abandoned vehicle was found.
It's uncharacteristic of Bonadona to be out of touch with his family; prior to his disappearance, he was in constant contact with his children. In the months after his disappearance, there were reported sightings of him in the area, but none of these were confirmed. His case remains unsolved.
