Candlelight Walk To Remember Dublin Teenager Missing 30 Years

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

The community is encouraged to participate in the annual walk, which will start at Wells Middle School at 7 p.m. and will end at Saint Raymond's Catholic 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.
