On September 30, 1973 13-year-old Kim Louise Mallon disappeared from UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital in Los Angeles, California. On Webslueths someone claiming to be Kim's sister stated that the reason the Kim was in the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital due to trying to commit suicide. Kim was molested by her father and they were going to charge him for it, but her and her stepmother Rosemary decided to drop the charges. Soon after she tried to commit suicide.
She was then checked out of the hospital by her father Bill Mallon and he claimed to have dropped her off at a curb.
Kim is a white female and 13 at the time. She may go by the name Rhonda Kay Mallon or use the last name, Lytton. She was 5'3" and 125lbs at the time. She has brown hair and blue eyes. Kim had scars on both wrists. She was wearing a blue pullover knit blouse, white corduroy bellbottoms, multicolored oxfords, and a turquoise pendant necklace.

Need to check the records of the Neuropsychiatric Institute at UCLA where she was an inpatient for info on her and parents. Check what William Mallon did subsequently. Did he kill her or suicide???
ReplyDeleteBill took her camping in the foresty area and never signed her back into the facility. Her adoptive mother, Rosemary, subsequently moved to Oregon, where she passed away and since there were no relatives, the State cremated her. Kim has not been heard from or seen since Bill took her out. After speaking with the original Detective several years ago, he stated that nothing Bill said added up and that they should have proceeded with this as if a homicide. Bill was known to belong to a Yacht Club in the LA Area where he had a boat. However, further checking has resulted in no additional information. I have not been able to find any info on him at all. Not through DMV, SS Death Cert. It is like he disappeared, although by now he would be in his 80s.
ReplyDeleteUnknown whether Kim got away from him and just disappeared out there or if, in fact, as believed he murdered her.
