Angela Elaine Olmstead: A Family in the Shasta Records

Linked case entries and the questions behind their dates.

Abstract

NamUs MP31267 lists September 15, 1992 and Bella Vista in the Redding area. Its narrative links Angela Elaine Olmstead with her brother, Wesley Oldbury, and mother, Fairy Elaine Olmstead.1

The Registry Record

The narrative explicitly supplies Wesley’s NamUs reference, MP31269, and Fairy’s, MP31262. These are related case entries, rather than relationships inferred from matching surnames.1

Its Shasta County Sheriff entry, 93-8535, gives May 2, 1993 as the report date. That field should remain separate from the September 1992 account.1

The record gives Angela’s missing age as seven.1

The California Profile

California DOJ describes the location as Redding and lists case 19938535. Its account names the same mother and brother.2

The profile says Fairy may have been driving a blue 1981 Chevrolet Citation, California plate 669ZVX. It does not provide a dated vehicle sighting or establish the car’s occupants.2

The possible vehicle association should not become a documented route or a later contact with Angela.2

The profiles’ family links are reported relationships, not three independent witness accounts.2

Sourced Accounts and Questions

Here’s where you come in. Can you locate the original September 15 account and determine which family members were observed, by whom?1

Can you identify what the May 2 report field describes without assuming it marks the first family concern?1

Can you find an original vehicle observation before placing the Citation’s route or passengers in the timeline?2

Can you keep the broad Redding description separate from a precise observation address as you compare the records?2

Keep each family member’s sources and your questions in a Research File in Almost Solved. Preserve the links between records without giving every person an identical, unverified sequence of movements. That leaves room for an original statement to clarify who was seen, where and when.

Scope and Method

Original observation, vehicle and witness records were not inspected.
