Mitchell Owens

On February 3, 1983, a young mother was brutally attacked by a stranger in her own home. Her three young sons were asleep in their beds, but her middle child, Mitchell, heard noises and came in to check on his mother. Ora Owens screamed at Mitchell to run away, and then everything went black. Ora awoke two days later in the hospital, only to find out that Mitchell was gone. Despite what was clearly a forcible abduction, and despite the fact that Mitchell was only four years old, Ora claims that Menlo Park Police delayed beginning an investigation into Mitchell’s disappearance, and initially classified him as a runaway. Nearly 40 years later, Ora is still trying to get justice for her son.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Mitchell Owens, please contact the Menlo Park Police Department at 650-330-6300.  Tips can also be called into the Department of Public Safety at 617-754-3208 or 3209.Si tiene alguna información sobre la desaparición de Mitchell Owens, comuníquese con el Departamento de Policía de Menlo Park al 650-330-6300.
