World exclusive - must credit Alamance Independent:
In the past four years, four people - three elderly and one
middle-aged - have disappeared in Los Angeles either on their way
to a doctor's appointment or just after getting home from one.
Ages 57-72 at the times they disappeared, all have two things
in common; all are Jewish - and all saw the same doctor. None are
described in police records as having Alzheimer's or other dementia
problems - nor are any of them described as having prior histories
of wandering.
Two of them disappeared in Aug. 1997 alone; a third
disappeared two months later in Oct. 1997. The first to disappear,
then-57 Robert Black, vanished in Mar. 1996.
Two of them were men; two were women (photos below). At 6'1",
170 lbs., the first to disappear on his way to the doctor - Robert
Black - was hardly a felon's first choice of a victim. Richard
Davison - who vanished in Oct. 1997 - was also tall: 5'10" and 145
lbs. - when he disappeared on his way to a doctor's appointment;
both men were last seen leaving home for the doctor.
The two women were last seen arriving home from the doctor,
after which they were never seen again. Patricia Laxer - also tall
(for a woman) at 5'7", 145 lbs. disappeared in Aug. 1997 after
confirmed arriving home from a doctor visit. At 5'5", 155 lbs.,
Goldie Swanger was slightly tall for a woman; she too was confirmed
as having arrived home from the doctor's just before she
disappeared that same month. As with the two men, neither Laxer
nor Swanger is described as having any serious disability.
Is a serial murderer preying on elderly Jews in Los Angeles?
Not exactly what a city wants in a travel guide! If you have any idea what happened to any of these people, the Los Angeles police
missing-persons unit would like to hear from you at
213-485-5381.
