Suzanne Arbell, 62 and from Van Nuys, Los Angeles, disappeared on April 18, 1993, after telling family she planned a short vacation and was never heard from again. Her silver and blue 1987 Honda Civic was found a week later, on April 25, abandoned in a remote desert area near Victorville. The car was drivable but both license plates and the vehicle identification number had been removed. Inside was only Suzanne’s curling iron; there were reportedly no signs of foul play in or around the vehicle.

Suzanne was described as highly organized and in close contact with her family, making an unexplained disappearance especially out of character. Investigators have found little since the car was located, and the case remains unsolved. The removal of the plates and VIN and the lack of other clues are the case’s most puzzling elements.

Did anyone in the Victorville or Van Nuys area have contact with Suzanne in April 1993 or ever see that 1987 Honda Civic after April 18?
