Hollywood — Miss Hardt told investigators that she was awakened at 3:30 a.m. by a loud auto muffler and from her bedroom window saw a man standing next to her daughter’s car.

Suddenly a black sedan backed out of the driveway into the street, Miss Hardt said, and stopped long enough for the man to run over to it and climb into the passenger’s side. The man shouted “Let’s go,” or something similar, the mother said.

At no time did she actually see her daughter, Miss Hardt said, although her daughter’s small foreign-made car also was in the driveway at the time. This was 3:30 a.m. Monday about 20 minutes after the girl’s date, john Hornburg, 22, told officers that she had left his home. The drive normally takes about 20 minutes.

In the girl’s car was found another purse, one of several she owned. A friend of the family, Dorothy Blankfort, 58, told newsmen “there’s been no contact, no call, nothing” to indicate a kidnapping, but officers said they were investigating that possibility.

Hornburg and his parents are friends of the girl’s family. About 8:30 p.m. Sunday he and Marina left to meet two other couples at a cafe on Santa Monica Boulevard. They drove back to his home about 11:30 p.m., Hornburg said.

The girl, 5 foot 3, was wearing a long brown coat with fur cuffs, brown pin-striped capri pants and a white turtleneck blouse.
