Missing children: Nine infamous cases of Bay Area children who vanished

Thirty years ago, Ilene Misheloff vanished while walking home from school in Dublin. The 13-year-old girl’s disappearance on Jan. 30, 1989 continues to baffle investigators while her parents hold out hope she’ll one day reappear. Ilene left school at 2:30 p.m. that day and likely walked down Penn Drive and turned onto Amador Valley Boulevard. She was last seen walking alone near Village Parkway with her dark blue backpack strapped over her shoulders.

Dublin vigil to honor 30 years since Ilene Misheloff's disappearance

DUBLIN — Ilene Beth Misheloff was 13 years old when she mysteriously disappeared on her way back from school in Dublin.

This Wednesday will mark 30 years since her disappearance on Jan. 30, 1989, and her parents, Mike and Maddi Misheloff will hold a candlelight vigil and walk in hopes that it will bring awareness to her case.

It’s suspected the young girl was kidnapped on her walk from school to the Dublin ice rink for lessons when she disappeared. Her parents, family and friends have held a walk each year on the anniversary of her abduction.

This year’s walk will follow the path Ilene took home that day to make sure she will be remembered. Starting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, the walk will begin at Wells Middle School, located at 6800 Penn Drive, and proceed to Saint Raymond Church on 11555 Shannon Ave. A non-denominational service will be held at the church in her honor.

According to the FBI, Ilene was 5 foot 3, weighing approximately 115 pounds at the time of her disappearance. She had braces, pierced ears, freckles on her cheeks and the bridge of her nose, and a small lump on the inside of her left ankle. She was last seen wearing a charcoal gray pullover “Esprit” polo sweater, a pink and charcoal gray skirt with horizontal stripes and black low-top “Keds” sneakers.

Today, she would be 43 years old.

Anyone with information on her disappearance is asked to contact Dublin Police Sgt. Daniel McNaughton at (925) 833-6682. All tips will be anonymous.

After 30 long years, I'm hoping beyond everything this young girl/woman can be found and returned or reunited with her family. I cannot imagine the heartbreak they've suffered. May they have answers soon!

 

[Mysteries1974]

I’m 100% positive that Ilene’s case will end with a happy ending with her going back home to her family

Ilene’s vigil tonight was very moving. The walk was good, and I felt it was well attended. I did hear that there have been more people in prior years but I thought it was a nice turnout of the community. There were several news crews there. More than in past years according to my friend who has been there on many occasions. There was a church service at the end, with some readings and a Cantor. All in all Ilene got a lot of publicity today, which is always the goal.

I hope you are right. Why do you believe she is alive and well?

Ilene Misheloff disappeared 30 years ago - 'How do you give up on your child?'

I’ve read a lot of articles about Ilene over the past 30 years, many of them in the past couple of months, this is by far the best news article I’ve ever read about her. So detailed. Please be sure to read it

Yes, a fabulous article - from The San Francisco Chronicle, no less. Wow!




Ilene Misheloff’s bedroom in her parents’ two-story home on a quiet cul-de-sac in Dublin is much the way she left it on Jan. 30, 1989, the day she vanished while walking home from school.

Her books, ice-skating medals, ice-skating magazines, desk and twin bed are there. So is the bag she would have picked up after school to take to skating practice — stuffed with two pairs of custom-made ice skates, rags to clean the boot blades, and a water bottle.

“Nobody goes in Ilene’s room except for law enforcement, so when she comes home, we’re going to find somewhere for her to sleep until we can get a HazMat team in there, and get rid of about 10 feet of dust,” said Ilene’s mother, Maddi Misheloff. “That’s her private world, and it’s going to stay that way until she’s here.”

The last time Maddi and Mike Misheloff entered the room was not long after their 13-year-old daughter went missing 30 years ago, they said.

The case remains one of the Bay Area’s most haunting mysteries. Despite receiving thousands of tips over the past three decades and searching for links between Ilene’s disappearance and the abductions of Bay Area girls during the late ’80s and early ’90s, detectives with the Dublin Police Department and the FBI have not identified a suspect or found any trace of Ilene.

“You gotta think that there is somebody out there that knows something — either the person responsible for Ilene’s disappearance or someone who was told something about it,” said Dublin police Capt. Nate Schmidt. “There are cases out there that after long periods of time, (kidnapped) girls were presumably no longer with us, yet they were still alive. That is the best-case scenario. But we have to look at all options.”
