On Alison’s Tracker Map

There’s a potential, yet-to-be confirmed sighting of Alison on her bike! There’s a photo, and it certainly appears to be her, and in the right time frame.
What’s interesting about it is it seems like she is going in a direction beyond where you’d think she would have made a change in direction in order to go to her aunt’s house. IMO

Oh, I hope this is a good lead. It would show the family getting the word out is working, as it looks like an image from someone’s doorbell cam, most likely.

It's now confirmed to be Alison on the tracker map.

But you're right, it does seem to be beyond where she would be expected to turn off 6th Street if she was heading to her Aunt's house. Presumably she was either going somewhere else, or was taking a longer route for fun.

The location marked on the tracker map is accurate to where the image was taken; you can see the house at that location on Google maps. I've placed the tracker map image next to the Google street view:

Yes! And it shows she stands out in the purple shirt. Very recognizable

Re the Tracker map.
Just to be clear...A is her Dad's home from where she left, and B is her aunt's home, the destination.

Do we know if she has any friends or acquaintances in the pink area or beyond ?

This app is extremely helpful and and ought to be used in other missing persons cases.

So is it pretty much confirmed she didn't intend to go to the Aunt's house in the first place? She knew for sure where the Aunt lives, and how to get there?

I was a little interested in her mother's quote, about as time goes by she gets more concerned. Maybe she just said that in an off-hand way, but if you don't believe at ALL that she purposely ran away, it doesn't seem you'd be more concerned as days go by, than you were the first night she didn't show up at the aunt's house or return home, or be found along the way in some kind of an accident. It appears the mother is open to the idea that she got a wild hare and took off for awhile.

Prayers she's found safe.

I don't know which app you're referring to (Google maps?)- but yes! The family of Alison JUMPED on this by day 2 & 3 and had so much set up- this absolutely is a good model for How To Set Up an Active Search.

It's been 3 full days and counting, going on day 4. That photo of her along 6th, north of Mission- she is way off course if she was heading to her aunt's! By today I hope there will be more confirmed sightings to paint a picture of where she was headed. Everyone has those Ring cameras, esp in LA.

It seems to me it is secretly easier to think she purposely ran away even if she doesn't believe it. In my head it makes it more probable for a chance to come home alive. I think it is far more difficult to fully believe foul play is involved because there is less hope. Jmo

Im really really hoping Alison will turn up save.

It's terrifying to think that a child can no longer safely go out on a bike ride.
