About Disappearance of Michaela Garecht in brief
Michaela Joy Garecht was nine years old when she was abducted in 1988. Sketches of her abductor were distributed along with missing person flyers within 24 hours of her disappearance. In 2012, a convicted serial killer who committed various murders with his accomplice, Loren Herzog, revealed that the original sketches bore a striking similarity to Herzog. DNA analysis completed in late 2012 proved that bone fragments found in Herzog’s disposal site were not hers. David Emery Misch was charged with her abduction and murder on December 21, 2020, 32 years after the abduction of Michaela Garencht. Garench was abducted at approximately 10: 15 a. m. on Saturday, November 19, 1988. She and her friend, Katrina Rodriguez, left home at 10: 00 a m. and rode their scooters to the Rainbow Market, two blocks away, to purchase food and sodas. The girls left their scooter by the front door as they went inside the store. Upon leaving the store, the two girls started walking home, forgetting about the scooters. When they realized they had forgotten them, they turned back to where they left them; however, they saw that one scooter was missing. Garnecht then spotted the scooter farther down in the market parking lot, where it had been placed near a parked car.
An unidentified white male came out of the parked car, picked her up with his right arm around her waist, and put her into his car as she screamed. At the time of her abduction, she was wearing a t-shirt with the word “Metro” on the front, rolled-up denim jeans, black Mary Jane shoes, and pearl-colored feather-shaped earrings. In the 9-1-1 transcript, the female store clerk who phoned police on behalf of Rodriguez described the man who allegedly abducted her as ‘hippy-like’ in appearance. However, it was subsequently revealed that she had offered an incorrect description of the man, and had inadvertently mistaken him for someone else she had seen driving in the parking lot. The clerk described a man in his thirties with a mustache, driving a burgundy-colored car, a false description which was erroneously distributed in the media for nearly two days. The abductor drove a large, possibly four-door model, American-made sedan. The car may have had cement splatters on the sides and set into the rear bumper. The witness described him as having fox-like blue eyes and wearing a T-shirt.
