Thirty-five years ago today, on January 30, 1989, 13-year-old Dublin teenager Ilene Misheloff was abducted while walking home from Wells Middle School. The Dublin Police investigation into Ilene's kidnapping continues in the hope that she will one day return home.
Ilene was last seen at approximately 3:00 p.m. that day, walking alone on Amador Valley Boulevard near Village Parkway. Her key fob was later found near the entrance to John Mape Park, along the route she normally took to her home.
At the time of her disappearance, Ilene 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.
Dublin Police continue the investigation into Ilene's kidnapping, in the hope that she will one day return home. There is a $95,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the subject, or subjects, responsible for Ilene's disappearance. Anyone having any information in regard to the case is asked to contact Dublin Police at 925-833-6670.
