End of day summaries

What we are up to right now

We have several activities going on right now, and I'll try to summarize them here.

  1. Adopt a Hospital - we have a list of the largest hospitals in the area and the ones closest to LACMA.  Instead of calling them often (with emphasis on the ER), we are asking "adopters" to work with a single hospital from that list, and hopefully establish a connection with someone who has the breadth to be a point of contact going forward.  This allows us to just call the hospital once every other week or so to make sure they are aware that Nancy is still missing and that we are still looking for her.
  2. Daily calls.  At the moment, we do not have a list of additional places to call.  This will probably change in the next week or so based on some large database work going on.
  3. Facility visits.  Despite all of the calling we have done, it is somewhat disappointing to actually visit facilities that we have called in the past and they claim they have not seen the flyer or heard about Nancy.  So, we have people visiting care facilities to drop off flyers and get them to post them where the nurses congregate (nurses all work at more than one place). 
  4. Working from the "top down".  We are still working with the Medi-Cal office to discover instances of facilities applying for Medi-Cal reimbursement for people that fit Nancy's demographic but do not have a valid SSN.  In addition, we are looking into how we can get someone to review all of the forms that are filled out when a hospital holds someone for evaluation (these are called 5150s ... the Public Guardians office tells us they have reviewed all of the 5150s they have received with no matches, but there are other batches of 5150s, and we are trying to get someone to look at those).
As always, if you would like to participate in any of these activities, please send an email to NancyIsMissing@Gmail.com and let us know your interest and availability.

  1. As a retired cop,hopefully with some training in recalling facts and faces, I have only one tiny suggestion for this missive. I have searched the materials and for the life of me, I cannot determine what STATE you searchers are in! I see a California address and also a reference to Manhattan. I should not have to search! I am in Wisconsin for instance & yet I came across this and feel it may be too early to give up. So, please, help us help you. Feature your STATE first. Detective (ret). Christine Still

  2. Hello Detective (ret) Still, and thanks for your comment and willingness to help! We're still actively trying to find Nancy and our best guess is that she is in a residential care facility but either under a wrong name/SSN or as a Jane Doe. Will add the info on being in CA to the main page. In the "Overview and Background" and "Summary of efforts to find Nancy", in the right column, there are early references to Manhattan Beach and Los Angeles County Museum of Art, but we can be more explicit!
