Case summary by Jody Ewing

Grace Esquivel, 25, the mother of a six-year-old daughter, Angie, was reported missing in June 1983. She lived at 1619 N. Pennsylvania Ave. in Mason City.

Her daughter spent the night of June 10 with her grandparents, Manuela and the late Armando Esquivel, while Grace said she was going out with friends.

According to reports, when Grace's parents brought her daughter home the following day, Grace was not there. Her bed was found turned down as if someone was ready to go to bed and her wallet and driver’s license were left behind. According to Lt.
