Wrap-Up to the Week and Plans for Week of November 21st

We had a busy and productive week, highlighted by our "Light Up Los Angeles for Nancy" vigil and procession event at LACMA on Thursday.  This event was championed by Nancy W. and wonderfully promoted by one of our talented, well-connected teammates, Allison M.  The event started with short messages from Kirk, Nancy's husband, Sgt Paul Ford from Manhattan Beach PD, Susan Galeas, President and CEO of Alzheimer's Greater Los Angeles, and Nancy's parents.  These words were followed by a candlelight procession following Nancy's path down Wilshire and then south on McCarthy Vista, culminating with a gathering at the location were we last saw Nancy. Richard B. led a "Moment of Hope" and we all blew out our candles and sent our hope out to the rest of the city.

Over 100 people attended and we received TV coverage from 4 local stations and multiple local newspapers.  Earlier we had radio stories about the event, as well.  We reportedly got significant local broadcast air-time on Thursday eve and again on Friday AM getting Nancy's picture out and our message of bringing Nancy home.   THIS is how we're going to find Nancy: by having more eyes looking for her.

For Thanksgiving week, (21 November) , we're re-orienting our efforts away from pushing information "into the streets" and using our teammates to seek her out in residential care facilities.   Based on a discussion with an LAPD detective from their "Missing Persons" unit we have reason to believe that she might be in a residential care facility but under a different name.  Earlier we were told that Nancy could not be in one of these facilities because they didn't accept "Jane Does", but she may have made it in via some other, mistaken name.  So we'll be contacting every one of these facilities in LA to ask them explicitly if they have a patient that matches Nancy's description.

This new theory that Nancy could be in a care facility provides another avenue to explore and new hope for our team.  However, we will continue to gather track any tips we receive via our teams of tip trackers.

Please keep Nancy in your thoughts and heart...
