Deceased/Not Found CA - Heidi Planck, 39, left son’s football game in Downey, dog found in Los Angeles, 17 Oct 2021 #4

[Keyedin]

I don't think so....the side mirrors were a little different. Terrible news indeed. We were all hoping for a different outcome.

And they said it was found in a subterranean parking garage, which meant it was underground and wouldn’t have been seen just passing by on the street.

 

[truthobsession]

The home where Heidi lived had several LLCs associated with it that followed that naming pattern according to the building permits

from the statement:
“On November 4, 2021, Planck’s 2017 Range Rover was discovered in the subterranean parking garage of a residential building located several blocks from 1201 S. Hope Street.”

So, she parked in a garage associated with another residential building. What do you think her association is with this other residential building, that she would have parked there?

Nov 22, 2021:

@Meligator Did you know that the company that runs the Hope+Flower building has a second building a couple blocks away that residents on Yelp describe as a "prison"?

Nov 22, 2021:

Yes well said that'd be the obvious move considering all the heat on that building. So who has control over the comings and goings in that building and another building where they could relocate her? What kind of person has that kind of authority and power? Hmm...

 

[DeDee]

both of these two women were involved in the same incident. but it would be curious if there have been other incidents as well.

I've been following the incident and can add there have been more reports. Repeating it could be nothing related to HP but, then again, it may. :dunno:

I only posted the SOHO news because it seems LEO suspect one to five individuals are involved in Heidi's demise. Them dying from a heroin overdose and the ladies had never used the drug ... ever before. The location is in a rather small triangle between H+F, SOHO and where the apartment was when one lady's phone last pinged.

My heart is with BW. I can only imagine his intense grief.

Police Search Landfill North of Los Angeles in Disappearance of West LA Woman Heidi Planck

"The significant break in the case came weeks ago when forensic evidence was found in the high-rise apartment building in downtown Los Angeles where Planck's dog was found wandering on an upper floor on the day she was last seen.

That same day detectives spotted and quietly impounded Planck's gray Range Rover SUV on a street nearby in order to search it for additional evidence. "

Just awful news today….

A sad outcome.

I too had thought that LE had located her vehicle some time ago but were simply quiet. Seems now that is the case. I am SO curious as to what forensic evidence they have that makes them so certain that Heidi died, that it happened at H+F, and what led them to the landfill.

The timeline seems even more curious:
+ Per the LE statement, RHD took over the case on 10/29. IMHO, that means that before 10/29, there was evidence to suggest a crime was committed
+ Car found 11/4
+ Announcement + landfill search 11/29 (Statement was necessary today because LE couldn’t keep the landfill search under wraps, IMO)

So, why did it take so long to search the landfill?

Presumably, LE would search the landfill immediately upon identifying whatever clue led them there (given the possibility of evidence being destroyed / lost /etc. So why did it take so long to get here, especially if there was (IMO) evidence of a crime as early as 10/28 or before? And why the delay if there was evidence to make such confident statements that Heidi died at H+F in an incident (e.g., IMO there must either be video or really significant forensics) - so why a month to search where the trash is dumped?

Sigh. I guess this is what a lot of us thought happened. So sad.

Thanks for pointing this out. I went to add the date it was turned over to R-H Division, and that’s the same day they entered her home.

My gut instinct says the sources are probably just neighbors or something who saw LE with guns and assumed they expected to find a crime scene. I’m trying not to read too much into that statement. As with everything in this case, it’s been a lot of confusing hearsay.

 

[MesquiteO21]

When asked if LAPD told him about the forensic evidence they found that led them to believe HP was dead and caused them to search the landfill, he said they did and they know for sure that's what happened to her.

He also states that in one of his meetings with the LAPD, they indicated there are 1-5 people they suspect know what happened to HP. They did not share names with him.

He has known for a while about the RR being located and where it was found, but he did not share the location during the PC. He also didn't elaborate on how long "a while" was.

Huh...that almost makes me think of an accidental death that was witnessed at some type of gathering.

or not. could be more sinister than that...

Agree, also why they’d be calling it an “incident” instead of using other terms.

I have seen where LE contacts a landfill and will have new trash rerouted to another area in case they eventually need to search. Fortunately, commercial dumps now use high tech GPS and can pinpoint a specific location and how deep it is.

Iirc, from following other landfill searches, there is a lot to do before a search can be done. It is expensive and funding has to be approved. It is dangerous and the proper personell and permits (hazmat?) Have to be coordinated.

Btw, it took many months to find Laurie Hacking. They only found 15 pounds of her.

I am so sad about the latest news.

 

[Kapua]

Incredibly sad news today. I am particularly sad for her young son. RIL Heidi.

This is one of the oddest cases I've followed and the one that had me solidly on the fence. I never thought her ex, JW, had anything to do with her disappearance.

I hope they will find HP's remains and get the answers as to what happened to her.

 

[Shekkiec]

Do you think she could have fallen down trash chute? Dog was wandering hallways…

 

[Ducky123]

Do you think she could have fallen down trash chute? Dog was wandering hallways…

I think it would be more likely that she was put down by another person or people. Maybe the dog escaped while the door was open. IMO

Eta I have theorized for a while that the dog being loose in the hall/escaping could be as simple as the people being involved in this not thinking clearly, being in a rush, impaired judgement, etc.

 

[SuziQ]

Do you think she could have fallen down trash chute? Dog was wandering hallways…

I was googling and I am shocked at how often this happens.

 

[Knox]

I saw the news today, sadly it's as we suspected. Something happened to Heidi at H+F and evidently someone tried to get rid of her body by discarding it down the trash chute. JW said there are between 1-5 people who know what happened to Heidi

Hopefully LE will find her in their search. I'm not fully caught up - did LE say they found evidence in her vehicle? Three weeks to find her vehicle, that's interesting in itself.

 

[SteveP]

Do you think she could have fallen down trash chute? Dog was wandering hallways…

It does happen. A Penn State student actually fell down a chute and died less than two weeks ago. Having said that, I think it is more likely that Heidi may have been thrown down the trash chute.

[Keenon]

It is surprising how many people have died in trash chutes, that is why I asked if it was ruled out. It was said a body couldn't fit in the chute, but I was thinking more along the lines of not a whole body. Sorry to say that.

I understand the accident theory but why was her car parked in a garage blocks away when there was parking near the building she was videotaped walking behind. To me that sounds like her car was possibly moved after whatever happened to her.

Yes, I would guess that after disposing of her, they would have moved her car. Somewhere in there the dog got out. JMO.
