Mitchell Salomon, a 9-year-old boy, disappeared from his home in Los Angeles, California, on October 12, 1982, along with his family. Mitchell lived with his father, Sol Salomon, mother, Elaine Salomon, and older sister, Michelle Houchman. The family was last seen at their Northridge home, and their disappearance has been linked to a business dispute between Sol and Harvey Rader, a car dealer.
Sol had invested $20,000 in Rader's business, and it is believed that tensions over this investment may have led to their disappearance.
Investigators found small amounts of blood at the family's residence, and some of their personal belongings, including passports and wallets, were found scattered along a highway days after they vanished. In 1983, a witness claimed to have seen Rader kill Sol, but despite extensive searches in the desert, no bodies were ever found. Rader was charged with the murders but was acquitted after two mistrials due to a lack of concrete evidence.
The case remains unsolved, with no trace of the family ever recovered. Authorities continue to investigate the case, hoping for new leads that might uncover what happened to the Salomon family.Last Seen: Oct 12, 1982
