Albert A. De Mattos, 73, and his fiancée Lucy Pacheco vanished from Honolulu on December 9, 1965. The couple visited De Mattos’s son between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m., then left saying they would go to a laundromat and be back. At 2:00 p.m. Pacheco called her daughter to say they were going for a drive and would return soon. That afternoon was the last confirmed contact.

They were last seen in De Mattos’s gray and blue 1957 Pontiac. De Mattos was described as a 73-year-old Caucasian male of Portuguese descent, 5 feet 9 inches, 160 pounds, bald, wearing eyeglasses and walking with a limp. He had diabetes and did not take his medication; it was reported he left it behind. He was believed to be carrying $700 to $800 in cash and had other funds in a joint account and proceeds expected from a sale.

Pacheco’s apartment showed signs of an abrupt departure: a stew was still cooking, and her purse and wedding ring were left behind. Neither person accessed bank accounts or refilled prescriptions. A Sears clerk later reported helping a couple matching their descriptions, but that lead was not confirmed. Anyone who knew the couple or has information about that day is asked to come forward.
