EPISODE 326: MITCHELL OWENS​

Jul 28
On February 3, 1983, a young mother was brutally attacked by a stranger in her own home. Her three young sons were asleep in their beds, but her middle child, Mitchell, heard noises and came in to check on his mother. Ora Owens screamed at Mitchell to run away, and then everything went black. Ora awoke two days later in the hospital, only to find out that Mitchell was gone. Despite what was clearly a forcible abduction, and despite the fact that Mitchell was only four years old, Ora claims that Menlo Park Police delayed beginning an investigation into Mitchell’s disappearance, and initially classified him as a runaway. Nearly 40 years later, Ora is still trying to get justice for her son.

Ironic that she told her son to run away to protect him and the the police literally treated him like a runaway, a four year old. Even if the police literally just thought he was following his mom’s instructions to run, why didn’t they immediately look for him?

It's incredible what the police do, but even more what they don't do... they think he's a fugitive and they don't look for him either... the terrible beating his mother suffered, the incessant guilt of not being able to do anything for your son... what a pain in it... Ora I hope that one day you will have closure...
rest in peace
 
Truly a tragic case as much for Mitchell as for his mother, that poor woman went through hell
The fact that she received threatening phone calls after the incident makes lt feel like something personal imo, not just a stranger attack
 
Every time I come to this thread I find myself disheartened all over again. I pray this family gets Justice.
 
She believes her attacker may have been a man she'd met the previous night at the Enlisted Men's Club at Moffett Field Naval Air Station in Mountain View, California. He offered to buy her a drink, but she declined and walked away. She thinks the man followed her home and then drove away when she reached her door.

Both possible suspects either have a link or impersonated someone in navy/law enforcement. this should have been looked into further.
Another possible suspect is a man who knocked on Ora's door just a few hours before the break-in. He identified himself as a police officer and was in uniform, and asked about a report she'd made about a stolen purse the month before. The Menlo Park Police Department has no record of any of their officers stopping by the Owens home on that date.

You’d think law enforcement would take imperesonating a police officer very seriously and work hard to catch the perpetrators.

Curious to know how many people knew about the police report prior to that man coming to her door.
