On February 8th, 1985, newlyweds John and Linda Sojas walked out of their home on Lorain Road in San Marino, California, and into a mystery that has baffled investigators for decades.

Before their disappearance, Linda had confided to her best friend, Sue Kaufman, that they had been offered a government job that they weren't allowed to talk about.

and that it required them to take a two-week trip to New York.

She needed answers.

Her first call was to John's mother, Dee Dee.

John and Linda had been living with her in San Marino, and if anyone had an inkling where they'd gone, it would be her.

And sure enough, according to Dee Dee, she did know where they had gone, but what she told Catherine was anything but reassuring.

For decades, the discovered scrolls were controlled by a small group of scholars and wealthy collectors.

All that changed on September 22nd, 1991, when the Huntington Library in San Marino, California, opened its complete photographic collection to the public.

Thousands of people flocked to the exhibit.

Images of the scrolls went global through an emerging technology, the World Wide Web.

And then, like within a week they turn yellow, and then within the next four days, three days, it's like [whooshing noise]

My memory of this tree starts in Southern California, walking along the area around the Huntington Museum in San Marino every night, um, from our little pauper establishment [laughs] just down the road in the dodgy end, and dreaming about gardens, other peoples', which ones were best.

But many of the streets were lined with ginkgo.

And the winter in, and the fall in Southern California is not so bad, and you'd have like the 40 degrees, it's getting a little colder, the tree's getting more and more yellow, and then boom, onto the sidewalks, onto the green grass, onto the pavement.

I'm your host, executive editor, Chelsea Butler.

Today, we are speaking with Amy Pelletier of Pelletier Interiors in San Marino, California.

She's going to share her thoughts and tips on family-friendly interior design.

So welcome, Amy, and thank you so much for joining me.

Thanks for having me.

So I just said I haven't met you before, so maybe just take a minute to tell us a little bit about you and your firm.

Yeah, so I'm Amy Peltier, and as you introduced me, we have an office in San Marino, California, which is on the West Coast outside of LA.

But we also have a second office on the East Coast outside of Washington, DC.

The following weekend on April 22nd, 2017, Piqui was scheduled to be returned at 8:00 AM at the agreed-upon location.

But shortly before that planned meeting, a woman in the park in San Marino made a disturbing discovery.

So on Saturday, April 22nd at about 6:30 in the morning, South Pasadena Police received a 911 call, and the 911 call stated that there was a man down at Arroyo Park on a trail.

Officers get there, they contact the woman who was on her morning walk, and she said, "Hey, I was on my walk on this equestrian trail, and I found this man unconscious." South Pasadena police officers go to render aid to him.

Now, Aram did not have any visible injuries that would indicate that he'd been assaulted, but he was found unconscious and his car had seemingly been doused in gasoline.

So at first, police really had no choice but to treat Aram as a potential victim.

That is until police in San Marino got a frantic call from Ana Estevez.

About 10:00, Ana calls San Marino Police Department, which is the neighboring city.

And so this summer, I would wake up every morning and think of activities that would center on tiring my kids out.

We live in Pasadena, and our favorite summer day trips are to Kid Space or to the Huntington Library in San Marino or to watch a movie at Paseo or go to the shops at Santa Anita.

We'd sometimes drive to the beach or have a pool day.

I brought them into the office on the one day I had to commute in.

For us in Southern California, that means an increased chance of heavy rainfall, powerful Pacific storms, and a higher risk of flooding and mudslides.

Also new here at 4, the San Marino Fire Department is using a new approach to help treat people with heat-related illnesses.

Firefighters are now using body bags filled with ice to rapidly cool patients.

Eyewitness News reporter Rob Hayes is live with a look at how it all works.

Rob.

Yeah, amid this crazy heat wave, the San Marino Fire Department is using a new technique that is more or less a mobile cold plunge.

They did a demonstration for us earlier this morning to show us how it works.

The.

Whoa.

You know, you think you're gonna go out to a home in San Marino and jump right into bed with a, you know, a divorced woman of 35 who is, you know, put together? No.

I'm sending you out, uh, sending you out on what we call a s- a, a, a, you know, a sodomy call or a gay call." And when they prove themselves through that experience, then comes what we call a show.

All right.

Uh, my prayer counselors know, uh, when I send them into a bathhouse or into a, uh, uh, female impersonator show or, you know, what have you, uh, place, you know, where transsexuals or transgendered people hang out, uh, they know what they gotta do, and they're not coming out of there until they do it.

I don't care if it takes weeks.

Then they can come on back, and I'll give them an address in San Marino, or I'll give them an address in Beverly Hills.

Uh, all right, 1-800-449-8686.

Yes.

But the school I grew up, the school I went to was San Marino.

It was the San Marino School District.

Is that

here? That's here.
