This is the most interesting case. Puzzling and bizarre, but so sad for both families. I've been researching the case and hope some local Websleuthers in Hawaii come aboard on this one. And even though their police cases are no longer active due to the passage of time, I believe someone out there still knows something:
LUCY T. PACHECO
Age 60.
Disappeared December 9, 1965.
Last seen in Oahu, Hawaii.
Doe Network Case File: 1603DFHI
Case Summary: Pacheco and her fiance', Albert A. De Mattos (whom she had only known for three weeks and is also missing) were last seen when they went for a ride in his gray-blue 1957 4-door Pontiac Sedan, license plate number 5A-3514. She told family that they were to return after a short while and they were never seen or heard from again, nor was the car ever seen or found as well. Their banks accounts were left untouched, and police checked activities of inter-island travel for them and the car, but nothing surfaced which led them to believe they and the car never left the island. One month later, a Sears employee told police he waited on a couple matching their descriptions, but the sighting was never confirmed.
The Charley Project and Doe Network have some inconsistencies about the case, but seems CP has more accurate info even though the date of disappearance is wrong. I tried contacting the daughter on her mother's memorial page, but the email is old and was returned undeliverable.
I wonder if police ever searched island junkyards during that time and throughout the years afterward for any 57' Pontiac Sedans or their parts? They would be able to trace something through records and ledgers of vehicles and parts.
