Adriana Lisette Rojas: Two Last-Seen Settings
The May 1996 date agrees; the official sources describe school and residence separately.
Abstract
California’s missing-person page and NCMEC poster 834986 both give May 7, 1996 for Adriana Lisette Rojas. Their narratives identify different settings for the last observation. This paper preserves that difference without inventing a sequence between the two places.
School and Residence Are Different Accounts
California’s page says Rojas was last seen at school in Rowland Heights on May 7, 1996.1 NCMEC’s original poster instead describes the last sighting at her residence in Rowland Heights on that date.2 Neither reviewed entry identifies an observer or gives a time.
The sources may describe different observations, but that possibility is not established by the pages alone. They do not prove a trip between school and home or establish which observation occurred later. A shared date does not resolve the setting difference.
Identification Details and Image Labels
California lists brown hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 7 inches, and 125 pounds.1 NCMEC describes a light-colored birthmark on her left leg and a mole on her left hand.2 Those details help match the records; they do not supply additional movements.
California’s text describes an age progression to age 33; NCMEC’s poster describes one to age 43.1,2 Those are image labels, not ages at a newly documented sighting. No photograph or age progression is reproduced in this paper.
Keep Each Agency Reference Attached to Its Source
California lists Los Angeles Sheriffs Department case 096-07890-2931-402 and phone 213-890-5500.1 NCMEC’s poster gives Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office and 323-890-5500.2 The different area codes are retained as published rather than silently treated as identical.
NCMEC’s poster identifier is 834986.2 Neither reviewed narrative supplies an original reporting date or the underlying observation record.
Sourced Accounts and Questions
Here’s where you come in: begin a Research File in Almost Solved with the May 7 date, California case 096-07890-2931-402, and NCMEC 834986. Give the school and residence accounts separate source entries.
Can you find a dated agency clarification identifying the observation behind each setting? An attributable account could establish who saw her, where, and when, without assuming a journey between the two.1,2
When you compare an appeal’s image description, can you distinguish its age-progression label from the date of an actual observation? A dated image caption or agency notice could establish which version is being described without treating it as a new sighting.1,2
Scope and Method
Both original populated sources were individually reviewed. The school and residence references remain distinct; no sequence is inferred. Compilation accounts about calls, belongings, family beliefs, or prior departures were not traced to an inspected original report and are not adopted. No source image is reused, and image labels do not establish current appearance or whereabouts. No accusation, motive, or outcome is inferred.
