Amber Rae Sage: Comparing the Published Date Fields
One record contains two dates; state and police entries provide further context.
Abstract
NamUs MP29556 gives April 6, 1994, in its Date of Last Contact field for Amber Rae Sage in Tarzana, California.1
The Field and Narrative
Its narrative instead describes leaving home in a yellow cab on April 4, 1996.1 Different descriptions within one record do not establish two separate observations.
The State and Police Entries
California’s Department of Justice lists April 4, 1996, under Date Last Seen, names Tarzana and gives agency reference 9610-19002.2
LAPD lists April 4, 1996, under Missing, gives Los Angeles Area and report 96-1019002, and describes her leaving home in a yellow cab.3
The reference formats are preserved as shown. Their different punctuation does not itself establish distinct events.
