Lucy T. Pacheco was 60 when she and her fiancé, 73-year-old Albert De Mattos, disappeared from Honolulu on December 9, 1965. The couple had been seen that morning after visiting Albert’s son, told family they were going to a laundromat and for a drive, and Lucy phoned her teenage daughter that afternoon to say they would be back shortly. That call was the last confirmed contact.

Lucy’s home suggested she intended to return: a stew was still cooking on the stove, and Lucy’s purse and wedding ring remained. Both she and Albert left behind prescription medications for conditions including high blood pressure and chest pains, their bank accounts showed no activity, and there was no record they left the island by air or sea. The gray-blue 1957 Pontiac sedan, license plate 5A-31514, in which they were last seen, was never found. An unconfirmed sighting at a Honolulu Sears roughly a month later was reported by a clerk.

The active investigation eventually went inactive with no resolution. If anyone remembers Lucy, Albert, that Pontiac, or saw the couple around December 1965, please share what is known.
