Allison Bayliss: The 2011 Search Record
Comparing dated accounts, recovered property and geographic labels.
Abstract
California’s Department of Justice records May 23, 2011, and Danville for Allison Bayliss, under Contra Costa County Sheriffs Department case SP1109049.1
Allison Beyond the Search
Kari Hulac’s May 25 profile described a school swim-team member and videos of Allison playing piano.3
The Early Reporting
Henry K. Lee’s May 24 report described her father finding her bicycle at Battery East and placed the last reported school observation on the previous morning.2
Location Descriptions
Hulac’s report used Fort Point and Marin Headlands for the recovery location.3 The original recovery record is needed to clarify those labels.
National Park Service directions, updated August 1, 2023, place Fort Point at the bridge’s south anchorage in San Francisco’s Presidio.4 This is geographic context, not a case observation or reconstruction of Allison’s movements.
