Circumstances of Disappearance
On a Saturday of June 1968, Madeline (or "Lyn" as called by her friends) called her mother & sister at 4pm. She informed them she was planning to visit them the following day and would be driven the 20 miles by a friend. She never mentioned who this friend was.
This was the last that was ever seen or heard from Madeline. She failed to show up at both her jobs. She worked the assembly line at "Plastic Glide" and as a barmaid in "Fred's Tavern" both in Santa Monica, CA. All her things were missing from her apartment.
After her seperation from her husband Madeline turned to drink and became an alcoholic. Madeline loved playing the guitar and could sing with a fine voice. She was very close to her family and it was out of the ordinary for her not to have regular contact of some form. She had very few friends in Venice.
