32 decades in the past

This Saturday will mark the 32nd anniversary of the working day Dublin teen Ilene Misheloff went lacking while strolling dwelling from Wells Center College.

However her disappearance has remained unsolved due to the fact that fateful afternoon on Jan. 30, 1989, Dublin police just lately probed any possible relationship involving Misheloff’s scenario and the 1988 cold-scenario kidnapping and murder of 9-calendar year-old Hayward female Michaela Garecht, which investigators imagine was solved last month with charges becoming introduced towards earlier convicted murderer David Emery Misch.

“At this time, we do not have any proof linking David Misch to the disappearance of Ilene Misheloff, but Dublin Police will be functioning with Hayward PD, Fremont PD and the FBI to establish what evidence was gathered and if any of that evidence can assist in the Misheloff investigation,” Dublin law enforcement Capt. Nate Schmidt explained to the Weekly.

The annual Ilene Misheloff candlelight vigil and wander has been canceled for this calendar year thanks to the pandemic, but Ilene’s father Mike Misheloff and Dublin Law enforcement Chief Garrett Holmes are releasing a temporary recorded statement for the anniversary this weekend, Schmidt explained.
