Missing, but not forgotten

Note: I recently received this request for information–lrh

I was living in South-Central Los Angeles in the early 1960s and
attending Lillian Street Elementary School. My sister and I walked home
with her friend Cassie, who stood out among the predominantly  Hispanic
and African American neighborhood. She was very blonde and  blue-eyed,
and about 9 or 10 years old  Her dad lived off of 65th avenue and drove a
catering truck for a living, always giving us leftover donuts that he
did not sell that day.

The police came to our house late in the
afternoon, saying she never made it home. We had walked with her to 64th
Street where we lived and then she walked on.

I would like to know more
about what happened; if the case was ever solved. I have never  been able
to even find an article on this on the Internet, but the sheriffs did
tell me about 15 years ago that the case was never solved.

Can you find
out more about her, her last name or any possible leads?  It has haunted
me all these years. Her family moved out of state after the kidnapping,
I think there were four kids in the family.   

Thanks

    Larry;
    I often write in, being an ardent admirer of this blog, but these requests for information from the relatives and friends of victims of unsolved crimes are the most moving posts of all. Your helping these people is extremely magnanimous to say the least. I hereby nominate you for a super hero classification, Past Man or Super History Man, offering help to his fellow man through use of his superior powers of research,

    –Well thank you…. I’m very fortunate to have a forum where, with luck, the exposure may generate some information.
