With the 49th anniversary coming up Saturday of the disappearance of a young woman in Hayward after an evening of shopping, police are asking for any information that might help solve the case.
Hayward police have a dedicated detective assigned to the case of Christine Eastin and there is a $50,000 reward for anyone who has information leading to a conviction for her disappearance.
Eastin was 19 when she went missing on Jan. 18, 1971. The car she was driving was found at what was then called Charlie’s Car Wash at 25400 Mission Blvd.
Police suspect foul play in Eastin’s disappearance and ask anyone with information to contact Detective Sprague at (510) 293-7176.
Hayward PD has been reopening a lot of cold cases. It’s nice to see they still care about those victims., like Michaela Garecht.
Will they please supply a picture of what she might look like at age 49?
She would be around 68 by now.
She would not be 49, she disappeared 49 years ago, she would be 68.
Oh, dear…. I have absolutely no explanation for such a mistake. Even though it really has been about 49 years since she disappeared, and it was late at night when I got to sit and enjoy Claycord, that was just plain dumb on my part!
Thanks for unscrambling my question, Lambie and Hanne.
all is forgiven
No problem Antler, we all make mistakes when writing comments, often when I reread my own comments, I cringe at the mistakes I make, even though I thought I proofread everything. It is an easy mistake to make. I just wanted to point out what her age would be today.
As I approach 60, I find the “senior moment” excuse to be quite useful in times like these. Just don’t use it on people over 80 or they’ll laugh at you.
When Fox 2 (Unsolved) ran this story, a woman said she saw two men at the car wash put her in a white van , and she gave a description of the driver, and a sketch was done. She didn’t realize (at the time) that it was a kidnapping. I find this odd, because she left her house at 10 p.m. after shopping at Mervyn’s with a friend to was her ex-boyfriends car. How can you see someone shove a woman into a van and not think it’s suspicious, especially late at night?
Apparently you’ve never been to Hayward. People there dont even bother to call the police when they hear a shooting
I agree that’s an odd statement. That would look extremely suspicious no matter what era it happened in.
The Hayward of 1971 is different from the Hayward of today, as is everywhere else around here.
