Katelyn Newman wrote a very nice piece in US News and World Report about the Bringing Our Loved Ones Home Task Force and rolling out Project Lifesaver.

The article starts with the search for Nancy, and then goes into a little more detail about the Task Force and Project Lifesaver, which is becoming active now.
The MBPD has started visiting addresses that applied for Medi-Cal benefits for people that fit Nancy's general demographic. They are not at liberty to share the whole list with us, but if they determine that an address is a commercial residential facility, they will share that. So, after visiting around 7 locations themselves (with no trace of Nancy), they gave me 7 addresses as well, and I visited those facilities yesterday. The results are strikingly similar to our "cold calls" at facilities, and mentioning that Medi-Cal reports that this facility applied for benefits for someone like Nancy did not seem to make much of an impact (this was my experience, not sure how that information was taken when the police were there).
So, we will continue to go through this list and hopefully find Nancy at one of the addresses.
Nancy's Remains Found. Nancy's partial skeletal remains have been identified. She passed in difficult terrain prior to March 11, 2017.
