Amy Elizabeth Hillyard: The Oakland Contact Record

Two official entries share a date and agency reference.

Abstract

NamUs MP159294 lists March 25, 2026, as Amy Elizabeth Hillyard’s Date of Last Contact in Oakland, California.1

The Departure Account

Its narrative describes her leaving home without her phone, identification, credit cards or cash, and says she left no note.1

Those are details in a published account. They do not establish a motive, destination, diagnosis or what happened afterward.

The State Entry

California’s Department of Justice gives March 25, 2026, as Date Last Seen and describes it as the date of last contact.2

Both entries identify Oakland Police Department case 26-013129.1,2

Matching references help keep later documents attached to the correct file. Agreement between summaries does not establish how many independent observations support them.

Sourced Accounts and Questions

Here’s where you come in. Can you locate the original account of the departure and establish which details were directly observed?1

Can you distinguish the state entry’s last-seen label from the contact description without assuming a different event?2

Keep the dated source and what it actually establishes in a Research File in Almost Solved. Family concern, a reported observation and an investigator’s finding should retain their own attribution.

Scope and Method

Original witness statements were not reviewed. The summaries do not establish a destination, continuous route or present outcome.

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.
