Amy M. Yachimec: The Phoenix Accounts and Agency Record
Official entries and a bulletin preserve different levels of detail.
Abstract
California’s Department of Justice lists November 6, 1981, as Amy M. Yachimec’s Date Last Seen in Phoenix, Arizona.1
The Linked References
NamUs MP4575 spells her middle name Marie and identifies Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office case 88-10402, matching the California entry’s agency reference.1,2
The Silent Witness bulletin, numbered 1981-1381, describes a 10 p.m. observation at her family’s apartment on November 6.3
The bulletin number and agency case number serve different filing systems. Neither should silently replace the other when matching a new document.
Sourced Accounts and Questions
Here’s where you come in. Can you locate the original account supporting the bulletin’s time and family-apartment description?3
Can you distinguish a dated investigative assessment or announcement from a verified judicial finding?3,4
Keep each source, its date and its exact qualifications in a Research File in Almost Solved. A later development may answer one question while leaving the evidence behind an earlier observation unexamined.

Later Agency and Reporting Accounts
The bulletin describes a 1988 re-examination that led investigators to believe Amy had been killed.3
ABC15’s October 4, 2018 report attributed a 2015 DNA link and a later arrest to the sheriff’s office.4
These are attributed assessments and announcements, rather than a court verdict established by this study. Current court status and any later judgment were not verified here.
Scope and Method
Original statements and court records were not inspected. The dated agency and news accounts do not establish current court status or a present outcome.
