David Emery Misch started getting into trouble at just 16 years old and was in and out of prison in California for various crimes throughout his 20s. In 1989, he was caught and convicted for the murder of Margaret Ball. Little did investigators know, Misch had committed at least 3 other murders prior to this between jail sentences - but it took decades before he was connected to those cases with DNA evidence. In 2024, he was convicted of the double murder of Michelle Xavier and Jennifer Duey from 1986. And now, Misch is awaiting trial for the 1988 abduction and murder of Michaela Garecht.

Michaela Garecht was enjoying the start to her Thanksgiving break in November 1988 when she and her best friend rode their scooters to the market in Hayward, California. As they left, the 9 year old girls noticed that Michaela’s scooter was not at the entrance, but had been moved to the parking lot. As she went to grab her scooter, a man jumped out of the van next to her and in one fell swoop, threw her into the van and drove off. Unfortunately, Michaela has never been found, but after over three decades as a cold case, in 2020 a man was charged with her murder. David Misch, a convicted murderer, is awaiting trial for Michaela’s abduction and murder and hopefully soon, she will get the justice she deserves.
