Andre Donielle El: Contact and the Nashville Report
Agency summaries distinguish the end of contact from the reporting trip.
Abstract
NamUs MP25 records June 23, 1997, as Andre Donielle El’s Date of Last Contact and January 4, 1998, as the report date.1
The Agency Records
The entry identifies Metropolitan Nashville Police Department case 98-005611.1
Nashville.gov’s missing-person page uses June 23, 1997, as its missing-since date. Its brief account describes El as living in Nashville.2
Contact and the Reporting Trip
MNPD’s cold-case summary says family in California had not heard from El since June 23. It describes a former girlfriend travelling from Georgia to file the January 4 report.3
These are agency-published accounts. The summary does not reproduce the original family statements or reporting interview.3
The interval between the two dates leaves a documentation question. It does not, by itself, establish what anyone knew or did during that interval.
Sourced Accounts and Questions
Here’s where you come in. Can you find what first documented the last contact and whether it was a conversation or an observation?1,2
Can you locate the January 4 report and establish which earlier contacts it records?3
Keep each contact, the reporting step and the source describing it in a Research File in Almost Solved. Preserve unanswered questions without assigning responsibility.
Scope and Method
