At 3:45 AM on Sunday July 31, 1982, Patricia Schneider, after completing work as a cocktail waitress at an Indian Hills, CA restaurant and nightclub, made a call from the Circle K market on Limonite in Pedley (between Riverside and Mira Loma) CA reporting her car had broken down. A clerk at the Circle K stated he saw two white males with sandy hair in the parking lot while Schneider made calls from the phone. Between 5 and 6 AM that same morning, a Riverside county sheriff found Schneider's car on fire near the intersection of Van Buren Blvd and Doolittle Ave. The area was searched and no traces of Patti were found.
