Jennifer Donelan no longer works at Washington, D.C. ABC affiliate WJLA.

Her bio has been removed from the station website.

“It’s with sadness that I announce that Jennifer Donelan has decided to move on,” news director Mitch Jacob wrote in a note to staff obtained by TVSpy. “Since joining the ABC7 team ten years ago, Jennifer has amazed us with her skill in reporting some of the toughest crime stories in our area. Her depth of law enforcement contacts, her work ethic, and her dedication are recognized, valued and appreciated. She’s got big shoes that will be tough to fill. All of us here at ABC7 wish her the very best as she moves on to her next chapter.”
