Angela Joann DeLawder, a 20-year-old woman, disappeared on March 7, 1981, from Hallandale, Florida. She was last seen with her live-in boyfriend, Ivan Gutierrez, her mother, Gertrude Menacher, and Menacher’s boyfriend, Charles Gibson. All four disappeared under mysterious circumstances after meeting for a dinner engagement that evening. Angela and Ivan lived in Hallandale, and Menacher had spoken to her other daughter days earlier, mentioning plans to leave, though the specific destination
was unclear.
Several suspicious elements surround the case. Gibson’s Cadillac was found abandoned at Miami International Airport shortly after the group vanished. Additionally, Gibson, who had a criminal record and ties to drug gangs, had cleared out his apartment before disappearing. Menacher and Gibson were both wanted for questioning in relation to the murder of a drug enforcer, Harvey McElroy, which led investigators to suspect that the group's disappearance may be tied to this crime.
Authorities have theorized that Menacher and Gibson were likely killed due to their knowledge of McElroy's death, with Angela and Ivan possibly being innocent bystanders. However, another theory suggests they may have fled, possibly to another country. Despite these theories, no substantial evidence has emerged, and all four individuals remain missing.Last Seen: Mar 7, 1981
