On the evening of July 31, 1974, 13-year-old Jackie Lynn Leslie and her 15-year-old sister Cynthia Cindy Ardina Leslie left their home in the Desert Shores Mobile Home Park in Mesa, Arizona, and never returned. The sisters left a note for their mother saying they were going to a babysitting job; later accounts suggest they may have been headed to a nearby party. They were last seen walking together down Baseline Road near Power Road, a few blocks from home. Jackie had brown hair, blue eyes, pierced ears, a mole on her right cheekbone and was wearing blue jeans and a summer shirt; she carried a white hairbrush with her.

The girls left all their personal belongings behind. Extensive searches of nearby orange groves and cotton fields turned up nothing. The family had recently moved to Mesa to be closer to medical care for their father, who died months after the disappearance. The case remains open with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and foul play is suspected.

Did anyone in Mesa at the time see the girls on Baseline Road or have information about the party they were said to be attending?
