Bao Sun: The September 2007 Record

The original date, recorded aliases and a later document require distinct source checks.

Abstract

California DOJ lists September 7, 2007 as Bao Sun’s Date Last Seen and identifies Sacramento County Sheriff case 07-49716.1

The Recorded Date

The profile includes Bao Xu Sun among her aliases. Match that name to the date and agency before combining records.1

DOJ also records Xubao Sun and Sun Xubao. Keep those name forms with the case number when checking later sources.1

It does not identify an observer or describe the circumstances of that contact.1

The Later Document

Judge Troy L. Nunley signed document 8 in federal case 2:16-cv-01399-TLN-KJN on January 20, 2017, concerning Bao Xu Sun.2

Paragraph 6 records an attorney’s February 2016 communication: Sun had been missing since September 7, 2007, and a certified order establishing death had been obtained.2

The federal order directs distribution of insurance proceeds and dismisses that civil action. It does not describe a physical recovery or identify a cause or responsible person.2

The February 2016 communication is not a sighting. The dismissal addresses the civil action; no closure of the police case is recorded here.2

Can you obtain the underlying fact-of-death order and distinguish its findings from the attorney communication summarized here?2

That underlying order and the investigative file were not inspected.
