The Las Vegas Account

NamUs MP18122 identifies Abby Roberts, missing age 25, with September 25, 2012 as Date of Last Contact and Las Vegas, Nevada, ZIP code 89119, in Clark County as the location.²

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s cold-case page gives the 3100 block of Aldon Avenue as the location for Roberts’s entry and the same last-seen date.³ That block-level reference is more specific than the city field, but it is not an exact address or a full account of the last encounter.

A Connection Published by the Agencies

The California and NamUs narratives say Roberts is missing with Phillip Johnson. NamUs identifies him as MP18064; the Las Vegas police page also links the two cases and gives the same September 25 date.¹²³

This connection is explicitly documented, not inferred from similar names or nearby locations. It does not establish blame, a cause of disappearance or what either person did after the last-seen account. This paper identifies no offender or suspect.

California as a Source and a Possible Location

The California Department of Justice page names Las Vegas Metro (NV) Police Department as the reporting agency and identifies Las Vegas as the last-seen setting. Its narrative describes a belief that Roberts and Johnson may be in Southern California in a black 2012 Chevrolet Cruze.¹

The hosting department’s state is not the last-seen state. Likewise, belief about a possible location is not a confirmed observation. The reviewed pages provide no dated Southern California sighting of Roberts.

The Separate Vehicle Recovery Account

The police page’s Phillip Johnson entry says his vehicle was later located and recovered in Compton, California.³ The summary does not give a recovery date. It should therefore remain a later reported event without an invented calendar position.

A vehicle’s location is not automatically its occupants’ location. The reviewed summary does not say Roberts was present at recovery or establish a route from Aldon Avenue to Compton. This paper does not use the recovery to convert the Southern California belief into a verified sighting of her.

Agency and Database Dates

NamUs gives October 1, 2012 as the agency Date Reported and November 18, 2012 as NamUs Case Created. The reader separately displays April 12, 2021 as a page-level Date Created.² Those labels remain distinct from the September contact date.

The agency case appears as 1210091052 in California, 121009-1052 in NamUs and LLV121009001052 on the Las Vegas page.¹²³ The versions are preserved as displayed rather than silently normalized. The shared names, date and agency context support comparing them; this paper does not claim access to the underlying case-management system.

Sourced Accounts and Questions

The official summaries connect Roberts with Phillip Johnson, describe Southern California as a possible location and separately report a vehicle recovery in Compton.¹²³ These statements have different roles; a possible location and a recovered vehicle do not amount to conflicting or confirmed sightings of Roberts.

Can you find a dated agency account explaining the Compton vehicle recovery, including when it occurred and whether any observation of Roberts was documented? Such a source could place the recovery in the chronology. An undated vehicle summary alone cannot establish her presence there.

As you compare the Las Vegas account with the California summaries, can you trace the basis of the Southern California possibility to a documented statement? Note whether a source reports a sighting, an investigative belief or simply repeats an earlier notice. Preserve that distinction rather than treating repetition as corroboration.

Explore these questions in a Research File in Almost Solved. Start with MP18122 and the linked official case references, and keep each source’s displayed identifier and date. The documented connection with Johnson is a reference for comparing accounts, not evidence of responsibility by either person.

Conclusion

The official source trail supports a Las Vegas account, a directly documented companion connection, a possible California location and a separate vehicle recovery. Each has a different evidentiary role. Keeping those roles visible produces a usable chronology without turning a belief, cross-reference or recovered vehicle into a resolution of Roberts’s whereabouts.
