This MSM article from the Sacramento Bee provides a more detailed description of the clothing she was wearing including a unique necklace.

Also noting (I'm local to SF), Amtrak service from San Jose (UC Davis) to San Francisco isn't direct - the train portion takes you to Emeryville (East Bay) where you connect via a bus that drops you off on Mission Street in downtown SF....adding this info as it mentions she (Diane) may be in distress, she was able to navigate this connection.

As they say, long time lurker, first time poster....I felt compelled to post because there is so little information about Diane's disappearance and there hasn't been a single item in the news - at least as far as I can tell - in almost 5 days. I am worried that people have either assumed that she has been located or have simply forgotten about her. But she is still out there.

A former neighbor of the family started a crowdfunding campaign to support Diane's father during this time. That is the only place I seen have any update whatsoever. Her sister posted there two days ago to say that their dad had found some of Diane's belongings at a pier in San Francisco. But no one knows where Diane is and, as I said, there have been no news updates, so we don't know where the police have looked, if there are any leads, what the current theory is (if any - although I think, based on the initial reports of her being "in distress," there is or was a theory....).

I really feel for this student and her family.

I am assuming LE has a good idea what has happened and they are searching but staying quiet out of respect. My opinion/theory only.

I truly hope she is okay and located soon.

The latest update on the crowdfunding page says that she is still being treated as a missing person, but that the police do believe that she went into the water, based on where her belongings were found and the fact that so much time has gone by with no sightings of her. Her father has been searching the coastline every day, apparently. Very sad situation. Still hoping for a miracle.
