Background
The enigmatic case of Robin Graham’s disappearance on November 15, 1970, has cast a long shadow over the annals of mysteries. At approximately 2:00 a.m. on that fateful night, Robin was last seen beside her car on the shoulder of the southbound Hollywood Freeway near the Santa Monica offramp in Los Angeles, California. She was in the company of a mysterious, dark-haired man in his mid-twenties, driving a vintage Chevrolet Corvette C1 of pale blue or green with primer. This seemingly ordinary night took a chilling turn when Robin used a call box to inform her parents that she had run out of gas, setting in motion a chain of events that would baffle investigators for decades.
