Case # CR50785
Cindy Lee Mellin, a sales clerk at Broadway Department Store in the Buenaventura Shopping Center, had just finished her closing shift on the night of January 20, 1970.
She was last seen standing next to her car in the shopping center parking lot with an unidentified white male changing her tire. The man drove a light colored vehicle.
At approximately 10:30pm, two of Mellin's co-workers, who had been picked up by their husbands, drove by Mellin's car and noticed the unidentified man jacking up her vehicle.
After having coffee at a nearby restaurant, they drove by her car again, but no one was there. Having assumed the man was Cindy's father, the co-workers thought nothing of it and left. They would later describe the unidentified man as tall and slim, between 30-40 years old.

At 4:45am, Mellin's father, Leonard Mellin, woke up and saw that his daughter's car was not in the driveway. He then rushed to her room and noticed she never came home the night before.
Her father then went to the shopping center to look for her and found her car still up on the bumper jack with the flat tire still attached. The spare tire was lying on the ground nearby. The doors, trunk and glove compartment were open.
Leonard Mellin, Cindy's father, observed that the flat tire appeared to have been deliberately punctured with a knife, which left a large slit on one side.
There was no sign of Mellin at the scene and she has never been heard from again.
