They were never seen again. Fifty years 03 ago last week marked the disappearance of 16-year-old Mitchel Weiser and 15-year-old Bonnie 04 Bickwit, two gifted students who are the ___ (old) missing-teen cases ___ the country. Initially 05 dismissed as romantic runaways who would return home soon, the pair’s fate remains a mystery. 06 After decades of police bungling and false leads, investigators have tracked several theories over 07 what might have happened to them. Amid recent information about a possible suspect connected 08 to their disappearance, Mitchel’s and Bonnie’s friends and families are now calling on federal and 09 state officials to provide the necessary resources to solve the coldest of cold cases. 10 The couple was apparently last seen leaving Camp Wel-Met. Their plan was to hitchhike* 11 150 miles northwest to attend an outdoor concert dubbed “Summer Jam” at the Watkins Glen 12 Grand Prix Raceway. On the morning of July 27 — concert tickets in hand — the pair set out for 13 the show. They were last seen hitchhiking along State Route 97. A truck driver picked them up. 14 They thanked him after he dropped them off a short time later. He was the last known person 15 to have seen them. On Monday, July 30, a day and a half after the concert ended, Camp Wel- 16 Met contacted Bonnie’s mother, Raye, and told her Bonnie had not returned. The next day, 17 Mitchel’s father, Sidney, and sister Susan drove five hours from Brooklyn to Watkins Glen. “We 18 met with the county police, who treated them as runaways”, she says. Police in Sullivan County, 19 Schuyler County, and New York City ignored the case and carried out no proper investigations. 20 Missing persons experts say that the case’s 50th anniversary presents an extraordinary 21 opportunity to engage the public — particularly anyone who attended Summer Jam — to search 22 their memories, look at photos of Mitchel and Bonnie, and try to recall any new information. 23 “This case is unique”, adds Marissa Jones, founder and host of The Vanished podcast, who has 24 reported on 400 missing-persons cases. “There is a huge concert with people coming from all 25 over. There’s hitchhiking. It’s a tough case to establish a firm timeline — we don’t know if they 26 even made it to the concert or at what point. It’s a tough one to pull apart”.
