Dozens turned out in Dublin on Tuesday night for a candlelight vigil and community walk to honor Ilene Misheloff, a 13-year-old Dublin girl who disappeared while walking home after school in 1989.

Tuesday marked the 29th anniversary of Misheloff’s disappearance. She was a student at Wells Intermediate School, now called T.D. Wells Middle School, when she was excused early from her physical education class. She was last seen walking on San Ramon Road and Amador Valley Boulevard.

Each year, family, friends and supporters from the community gather to recreate the two-mile walk she took that ill-fated day in 1989 and keep hope alive that she will return safely. Many carried signs that read “Help Bring Ilene Home” as they walked through Dublin.
