In honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, I am profiling one Asian or Pacific Islander MP for every day of the month of May. Today’s case is Rachel Marie Mellon, also known as Rachel Mellon Skemp, a thirteen-year-old girl who disappeared from Bolingbrook, Illinois on January 31, 1996. She is listed as Asian, but I think she may have some Caucasian ancestry as well.
Rachel had stayed home sick from school on the day of her disappearance. Her stepfather, Vince Mellon, said she was lying on the couch when he went to take the dog for a walk, and when he came back, she was gone.
Vince himself has been a suspect in Rachel’s case for years, though. Rachel had written in her diary that he kissed her and touched her inappropriately, and he had scratches on him after her disappearance. There just isn’t enough evidence at present to charge anyone, however.

Tara Lea Blue’s case was interesting, in her case file, she was last seen on 11/02/2001, then I found two of her arrest records on 12/08/2015 (https://texas.arrests.org/Arrests/Tara_Blue_25771449/, https://texas.arrests.org/Arrests/Tara_Blue_25771882/ ), and what hell her charge “#1 FEDERAL DETAINER” mean ?
And both of her book photos are obviously old pictures, someone must have made a mistake here
