On September 23, 1975, 17-year-old John Mitchell Carroll, also known as Mitch, was last seen in Susanville, California. At approximately 3:00 p.m., his sister drove him to the parking lot of a Raley's grocery store. Carroll was there for what he believed to be a job interview with the Forest Service. Expecting the meeting to be brief, he left his pack of cigarettes in his sister's car.
Carroll's sister witnessed him get into a white van.
She found this odd, as the Forest Service vehicles at the time were typically green. The van departed from the parking lot, and John Mitchell Carroll was never seen or heard from again. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as being 5'7" tall and weighing 140 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. He wore glasses and had a birthmark on his temple. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, Levi's pants, and boots.
The Susanville Police Department is the investigating agency for this case, with the case number listed as 11588. Few details have been made available regarding the investigation into Carroll's disappearance over the years. His dental records are on file, but it is unknown if his fingerprints or DNA are available for comparison. His case remains an unsolved missing person investigation.Last Seen: Sep 23, 1975
