Amanda Michelle Dixon, 5, and her mother Patricia Dixon were found dead in a motel room near Disneyland in Anaheim, California. A maid discovered them at the Anaheim Park Motor Inn; both had multiple gunshot wounds to the head. Amanda’s body was on a bed clutching a teddy bear while Patricia was partially nude in a corner. Autopsies confirmed both died from gunshot wounds and noted no immediate signs of sexual assault.

The pair had checked into the motel on a travel package arranged through travel agents in Seattle and Los Angeles and were last seen alive at the motel pool on the afternoon of March 27, 1984. Investigators reported no sign of forced entry and suspected the assailant might have been known to Patricia, but were unable to identify suspects or a motive.

The Anaheim Police Department has kept the case open and detectives have periodically reviewed evidence seeking new leads. Did anyone have contact with Patricia or Amanda in Anaheim on March 27 or know why they were in the area?
