Angela Hartmann: Three Records and Their Location Labels
Travel accounts, postcard contact and the date each source records.
Abstract
Canada’s Missing gives August 22, 1983 as Angela Caroline Hartmann’s missing-since date. Its narrative places her believed last known location at an Ottawa hostel during August.3
The US Registry
NamUs MP123995 uses San Francisco in its place field. Its narrative describes travel across Canada and an expected meeting with her parents in San Francisco that did not occur.1
It describes postcard contact up to Calgary during August 1983. The public entry supplies no original cards or postmarks.1
San Francisco Police reference 831099456 carries October 4, 1983 as its report-date field, separately from the August contact date.1
The California Account
California DOJ names Calgary, Canada in its August 22 last-seen account and lists the same San Francisco Police reference, 831099456.2
An agency office, an expected meeting place and a reported Canadian location serve different roles. They should not be combined into one confirmed journey.2
The Canadian Account
Canada’s Missing case 2018070318 describes planned fall classes at Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario. A plan to attend does not document arrival.3
The page links Ottawa Police Service reference 2018-309617. These are case identifiers, not dates of a newly documented observation.3
The account names Ottawa, Thunder Bay and Calgary in its travel description, without a dated sequence for each place.3
Sourced Accounts and Questions
Ottawa, Calgary and San Francisco have different source roles. The retrieved public records do not establish one continuous, dated journey.123
Here’s where you come in. Can you locate the original postcards and distinguish communication dates, postmarks and attribution from an in-person sighting?1
Can you obtain the original Calgary account and identify who supplied its exact date before mapping a continuous route?2
Can you identify what event supports August 22 and keep it separate from the month-level hostel account?3
Keep the records and your questions in a Research File in Almost Solved. Label a reported plan, a mailed communication, a location field and an observation separately. That lets you compare the next document without treating every place named in a case as a confirmed stop.
Scope and Method
Original postcards, hostel records and witness statements were not inspected.
