Madeline Had very few friends Plastic Glide went out of bussiness years ago . There is proof in Madelines letters that her EX Larry Babcock said he would kill her many times . I am her sister and I do know she never worked again after she went missing . I believe with my heart of hearts Larry killed her as he threatened to . Larry lives in Goldendale Washington and is still there unless he moved to Oregon to remarry a new victum as my nephew told me on the phone.
Pat,
The one key thing that makes me think otherwise, is that all of her belongings were gone from her apartment. I am skeptical of the thought that he would have killed her and then taken the time to remove all of her furniture, etc. That just doesn't sound right to me. If he did indeed harm her, I think it would have happened later, and not at the time that she went missing. Especially, since there was no indication at the time that Larry even knew where she was.
I searched for Plastic Glide in the city directories going back to the 1960's in the Los Angeles area (the directories covered Santa Monica) and could not find it listed anywhere. Usually businesses that close down, unless they are really small, would be mentioned somewhere - in obituaries, blogs, old newspapers, etc.
I guess I was just hoping that someone may have seen her in between the time that her family spoke to her and the time she went missing... and although she may not have had many friends, we know she had one, the one who was going to drive her to her mother's place... Was just thinking that the most logical (if the family did not know this friend) would be a co-worker or neighbor...
