Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP24163) and 9 other sources
Dixie Lee Arensen, a 20-year-old woman, disappeared on August 25, 1968, in Granada Hills, California. She was last seen at 7:30 a.m. leaving her home to prepare a church bulletin at Hillcrest Christian Church, where her husband was an associate youth minister. Dixie’s blue car was later found outside the church, and inside, her eyeglasses were discovered on the office floor, with the electric typewriter still running. Her keys were also left behind, but her purse was missing. Despite no signs of a struggle, Dixie vanished, and there has been no activity on her bank accounts since her disappearance.

Dixie, who had been married for only two months at the time, typically prepared the church bulletin on Thursdays or Fridays, not Sundays, making the timing of her disappearance unusual. Over the years, no suspects have been identified, and her case remains unsolved, though it is considered highly suspicious. Despite extensive investigations, including theories about potential involvement from outside parties, there have been no concrete leads to explain what happened to her that day.

Dixie’s case remains open, and the Los Angeles Police Department continues to seek information about her whereabouts.
