Annual Candlelight Walk for Missing Dublin Teen

DUBLIN, CA — This month marks 29 years since middle schooler Ilene Beth Misheloff was kidnapped while walking home from school in Dublin. On January 30, at 7 p.m., Ilene's family and friends will participate in a candlelight walk and ecumenical prayer service in honor of Ilene.

The community is invited to participate in the walk, which will start at Wells Middle School, located at 6800 Penn Drive, and will end at Saint Raymond's Church.

Ilene vanished while walking home from Wells Middle School in Dublin on January 30, 1989. She was 13. The investigation into Ilene's disappearance continues in an effort to return Ilene safely to her parents Mike and Maddi Misheloff. The Misheloffs continue to hold out hope that their beloved daughter will someday return.

There is currently a $95,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the subject(s) responsible for Ilene's disappearance. Anyone with information regarding Ilene’s disappearance should contact Dublin Police Sergeant Daniel McNaughton at (925) 833-6673. All tips will remain anonymous.
