Mitchell Deon Owens, age 4, disappeared from his family apartment in Menlo Park, California after an intruder broke in on the night of February 3, 1983. The intruder severely beat Mitchell’s mother, Ora Owens, and attempted to strangle her with a telephone cord. Mitchell woke during the attack; his mother yelled for him to run. She later regained consciousness in the hospital and Mitchell was gone.

Authorities initially listed Mitchell as a runaway, which delayed the investigation. Ora Owens later received threatening phone calls from an unidentified man; she believed the attacker might have been a man she had seen at a local club the night before or a different man who had posed as a police officer earlier that evening. The case has been classified as a non-family abduction and remains unsolved.

Does anyone have information about Mitchell’s last known movements or the men Ora Owens described that could help investigators?
