Circumstances of Disappearance

On August 18, 1972, Linda Miller and Cary Kristal left for Guadalajara, Mexico aboard a Greyhound Bus. They planned on returning to San Rafael by September 9th in order to register for fall semester at the College of Marin. In early September of 1972, Linda's family received a letter from Linda postmarked in Guadalajara. That is the last time her family has had any contact from Linda.

In early October of 1972, San Rafael police were asked to send Linda's dental plates to Mexican authorities on the theory she may have died in a rooming house fire in Mexico City. Linda's step-father instead believed she and Cary were being held incommunicado in a Mexican jail.

Linda's missing persons case was reopened in 2001.
