Parents Of Ilene Misheloff Vow To Continue Searching

DUBLIN (KCBS) – It's been more than two decades since Ilene Misheloff went missing in Dublin.

The then 13-year-old was last seen on January 30, 1989 at the intersection of San Ramon Road and Amador Boulevard.

Her father, Mike Misheloff, said despite being missing for 22 years, he and his wife Maddi will never stop searching for their daughter.

"We've seen where Jaycee Dugard returned after 18 years. And that just renewed the hope that we have," he said.

KCBS' Chris Filippi Reports:

Ilene's mother Maddi said there will be a candlelight vigil Monday night that will include a walk along the path her daughter was following when she disappeared.

"The reason behind this walk is to let Ilene know we're still looking for her," she said. "Everybody knows we're still looking for her and hopefully to encourage somebody who has information about her that they've been holding back to please come forward."

The Misheloff family has led the walk every year since Ilene went missing. Monday's vigil will conclude with a short prayer service at St. Raymond Catholic Church on Shannon Avenue in Dublin.
