This is so sad. I kept thinking about how most manic people, if not found right away, will not find ways to feed themselves or even find water. They are also so vulnerable to others (and to accidents

Has anyone checked Scanner Chatter?

If so, we can't bring anything up here to the main thread . . .

The more sinister possibility is that she was drugged when she visited her colleague and that resulted in her inability to find her vehicle, navigate to the airport, and speak coherently. Was she alone, or was someone following her?

It's very likely a tragic accident, but at this time it doesn't make sense that an intelligent, independent 33 year old woman would suddenly lose her mind.

As the family member of someone who is bipolar, unfortunately, it can often appear that way. There can be years of remission, then mild episodes, then more remission, then a severe episode.

A response from this account to a comment states "she was found in the Almaden area" Maria Medina KPIX5 on Twitter

Whoever she visited last in SJ has some explaining to do, I would think.

I don't see anything on SJPD's Facebook, can you link the post please? MOO

Was this the area where her phone last pinged?

Shocked. Was just 15 mins ago looking at the post on her FB missing page where it had been posted her last calls had been "confusing and disjointed."

Looks like a similar neighborhood to the Sunset Almaden neighborhood (supposedly where the phone last pinged)- although I'd say most neighborhoods in the Bay Area look like this, so it's really hard to pinpoint just from this photo. We'll have to wait for more details to come out.

MOO.

Notice the windows, looks like covered with plastic? or new? the little white tags? Or under construction, remodeling?

Heartbreaking.

Hmmm. All I see under the Traffic Safety post is a post about PG&E. Weird. Thanks for trying. MOO

Two Police cruisers are blocking the street on end and that vehicle is only vehicle on the street between cruisers. Hmmm...

OCT 12, 2019 - No new information (yet)
Utah tech CEO Erin Valenti reportedly found dead after police say she was ‘voluntarily missing’

This always makes me wonder if LE knows something family & friends (and we) don't know. I wonder if they've spoken with her or know where she is and she doesn't want to be contacted for reasons we're unaware of.

I can only suspect 99.99% of the time, LE DOES actually know things the family and the public does not know. I don't know if this is the case with Erin, but no matter why she was missing, voluntary or not, it's certainly not the ending of this case anyone hoped for.

Same gist as the tweets, no new info that I could find.

No, just this and when you click on the "KPIX reports" it looks like that article has been pulled. Strange. MOO

A Utah tech CEO, who was expected to receive an award this week in Salt Lake City, and has been missing since Monday night, has been found dead, Bay Area TV station KPIX reports.

Looks like a Ford emblem to me. Assuming she has been dead since Monday, it seems weird if a residential street is the crime scene 5 days later!
