- Notes
- Last seen the afternoon of June 23 at her workplace (a coffee shop in Crocker Galleria Mall). She was new to San Francisco; moving there from North Carolina to attend summer school at University of California-Berkeley. Did not own a car; used public transportation. She asked a colleague for directions to Baker Beach and may have headed there after work. Approximately 45 minutes after she ended her shift, she was seen on the Mall's second floor with an unidentified blonde woman holding the same kind of Jansport backpack. K9 units tracked her scent to Geary Street Number 38 bus stop which would head to Sutro Park Beach
