Amber Aiaz: The Irvine Records and Dated Appeals
A mother and daughter’s contact record, alongside dated police releases.
Abstract
NamUs MP132140 records November 22, 2019, as Amber Aiaz’s Date of Last Contact in Irvine, California.1 The state entry gives the same date under Date Last Seen and identifies Irvine Police Department case 19-16072.2
The Initial Police Notice
On December 4, 2019, Irvine police reported that Aiaz and her daughter, Melissa Fu, had last been seen at their residence in the Michelson and University area. The circumstances were under investigation.3
NamUs adds an approximate 6 p.m. time and cross-references Fu as MP65050.1
The area description is not an exact observation point. Keep the notice’s publication date separate from the contact date.
Sourced Accounts and Questions
Here’s where you come in. Can you identify the original dated observation supporting the contact field and approximate time?1
Can you keep each person’s case reference separate while comparing the shared circumstances?1,2
Can you distinguish what the initial police notice reports from an underlying witness statement you have actually reviewed?3
Keep each dated source and its qualification in a Research File in Almost Solved.

Later Dated Reporting
In its December 17, 2020 release, Irvine police said detectives had reason to believe the two were possibly kidnapped. The release attributed the account of two unknown visitors and an unknown substance to Aiaz’s husband.4
The vehicle reference was qualified: the visitors may have been associated with a black Cadillac. That is not a documented sighting of Aiaz inside it.4
KABC’s December 19, 2020 report also described the investigation as a possible kidnapping and attributed the doorway account to the husband.5
These dated descriptions do not establish a present outcome or a finding against any person.
Scope and Method
Original witness statements and investigative files were not reviewed. Later descriptions remain dated, attributed accounts rather than a present outcome.
