Amanda Kathleen Custer: The Monrovia Record and 2019 Briefing

A state record and a dated report preserve different levels of detail.

Abstract

California’s Department of Justice lists Amanda Kathleen Custer’s Date Last Seen as July 29, 2019, in Monrovia, under case 19-012129.1

The State Reference

The entry identifies Monrovia Police Department as the reporting agency. Its short narrative repeats the date and city without reproducing the underlying observation.1

An agency reference helps match later material to the record. A date field alone does not explain who observed the person, how the information was recorded or its degree of certainty.

Sourced Accounts and Questions

Here’s where you come in. Can you locate the original timed observation supporting the published last-seen date?1

Can you distinguish an observation of Custer from movements reconstructed in the dated news account?2 Keep sources and questions in a Research File in Almost Solved.

The Dated 2019 Briefing

An Associated Press report published by KSL on August 8, 2019, attributes a five-hour gap in reconstructed movements to Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. Scott Hoglund.2

The interval—from Lytle Creek to a midafternoon Azusa ATM sighting—concerns another person’s reconstructed movements. It does not document Custer’s route.2

AP reporting carried by KSL is one source. This historical account does not establish a present outcome.2

Scope and Method

Original observation records and later court entries were not reviewed. The 2019 report does not establish present case status.

Prepared with AI assistance. Sources and references checked against the cited public materials. This paper is an original synthesis of the identified public sources; it does not reproduce article bodies, transcripts, or an investigative file.
