Ann Mineko Racz, a 42-year-old mother of three and active volunteer at her children’s school and Newhall Presbyterian Church, disappeared from Newhall, California, on April 22, 1991. She was last seen after dropping her children at the home of her estranged husband, John Racz, and had promised to return with hamburgers for dinner. Four days earlier she had filed for divorce and moved with the children into a condominium.

Her car was found on April 25, 1991, at a Van Nuys FlyAway airport shuttle lot, but investigators found no trace of her on any flight manifests. John Racz said he spoke with Ann two days after she vanished, a claim that could not be corroborated. Friends and family described her as a meticulous planner who would not have left without warning.

After years as a cold case, investigators arrested John Racz in October 2006 and prosecutors sought to prove he killed Ann on the day she disappeared; the case was largely circumstantial and her body has never been found. Does anyone have information about Ann’s movements on April 22, 1991, or about the days immediately afterward?
