Anthony Spanton: The Record and the Appeal
A dated public appeal adds location context to a state entry.
Abstract
California’s missing-person record gives September 14, 2026 as Anthony Spanton’s Date Last Seen.1
The State Record
The entry identifies Santa Clara Police case 2609150078. Its narrative repeats September 14 as the last-contact date without describing subsequent movement.1
Its height field reads five feet eight inches.1
The state record also supplies Anthony Lawrence Spanton under AKA. That entry is a source identifier, not evidence of a new event.1
The Dated Appeal
Ryan Mense’s September 16, 2026 KRON report, distributed by AOL, attributes a Monday sighting in the 3000 block of Dorcich Street to police.2
The report describes a height of five feet nine inches and says the clothing was unknown. Neither detail reconstructs what happened afterward.2
The published height descriptions differ. Neither source identifies who measured him or when; this does not establish different sightings.1,2
The September report asked anyone who saw him to contact police. That dated request does not establish his status today.2
Sourced Accounts and Questions
Here’s where you come in. Can you locate the original police announcement and trace which description each source used?1,2
Can you establish what documented observation supports the reported address and date?2
Keep the dated appeal, source fields and open questions in a Research File in Almost Solved. The report’s at-risk description does not, by itself, establish a diagnosis, cause or present outcome.
Scope and Method
