Bigger Than Woodstock: Summer Jam 1973

8. Missing Teens

Two concertgoers never made the show, lost somewhere between Brooklyn and Watkins Glen. Mitchel Weiser (16) and Bonita Bickwit went rogue with $25, two sleeping bags, and sign reading “Watkins Glen.” The boyfriend-girlfriend team intended to hitchhike the whole way, sleep in their bags under the stars, then hitchhike home. The last person to see them was a truck driver who took them part way, leaving the lovers on State Route 97. Not one clue ever turned up as to the lovers’ whereabouts after that.
