Betty Jean Toepfer: The April 8 Record
Home, bus and report times describe different parts of the day.
Abstract
NamUs MP28569 dates Betty Jean Toepfer’s last contact to April 8, 2015.1
The Home Account
The narrative separates a home observation at about 6:30 a.m. from her son’s return-home check at 7:30 p.m. It says he and a brother subsequently searched and notified police.1
The Terminal Account
Material credited to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, published by ABC Public Relations on April 15, places a surveillance observation at 9:45 a.m. on April 8. It describes Toepfer leaving the downtown Riverside RTA terminal on foot toward University and Market.2
The publication gives 10:45 p.m. on April 8 as the deputies’ response, not another observation of Toepfer.2
