CA CA - Heidi Planck, 39, left son’s football game in Downey, dog found in Los Angeles, 17 Oct 2021

The son is almost 11, he's not in middle school, is he? How many schools have 5th grade football teams?

its probably CYO league which is under the Catholic church as is his school.

 

[cvaldez1975]

This is common for catholic schools in the area, even at elementary level. It’s probably flag. It’s strange they would play on a Sunday. JMO

its really not uncommon. in our association, most teams play on saturday but there are two hold out leagues who play sundays at their field "because football is meant to be played on sunday" per them. but ya since it is church related seems odd, but then again mass is only one hour.

Lol makes sense! At my catholic school, I think they played after school during the week. But things might have reorganized since I was a true youth

anything is possible. in my league tho its usually a forfeit.

I don’t think she left on her own or is being hidden. I also don’t think this has anything to do with her work, I think the work is a scapegoat. MOO

What are you leaning towards if you can post that? IMO

All I can say is I think it’s someone she knew MOO

Ok! This is tricky... St Paul also played that day but at 5pm on a different field (CYO - Los Angeles). So... one of the two addresses must be wrong. These games are switched around all the time, of course, but... we know the dog was located 3 hours after she was seen. The only thing about the 1:30/4:30 timeline is that many sources have referenced the dog being found in the "evening"... which would make me lean towards the later time. But, finding the dog around 5pm could qualify. Hmmm...

Digging around, I’m thinking the schedules we see are not right for the son’s level. These are for the A level of players, which might be the 6th-8th graders. We need to see the B teams, which would be 5th-6th graders (is son likely 5th grade?)
I am not sure I remember how I got to this page for CYO-LA Flag Football - B
but it says, “The League Administrator has de-activated the Standings & Schedule for the Division you have linked to.” CYO - Los Angeles
Could the deactivation be due to the case?

This CYO page is for basketball registration, but this is where I saw where the grade you are in determines the A or B (or C) team grouping.
CYO - Los Angeles

MOO

Could someone have shown up at the game that spooked her? She was followed from the game and the dog was dumped at the apt complex by someone who knew she had a connection there to throw the suspicion that direction?

Re: Seven’s chip vs tag

I don’t think this will do anything but muddy up the water even more, but here goes.

It’s possible that whomever “found” Seven had a chip scanner or someone in the apartment building has one, maybe even the front desk.

They are available on Amazon for about $40 and I’m considering buying one just in case a random doggie shows up on my doorstep.

ETA

I guess my point was it’s possible that the finder got HP’s contact info from a tag OR the chip.

Not sure about dumping the dog, but someone showing up could explain her moving around so much while she was there.

I wondered about that after her ex said she moved around the stadium.
That field is actually an enormous brand new Sports Complex and Stadium, not a little school field.

In one of the earlier MSM links that the people who found the dog had to take it to a vet to get the chip read. They then left a message on HP’s phone

The schedule I posted an hour or so ago for 2:00 game at Gardendale stadium address indicates a LB team- League B. I’ll check to see if the 1:00 was also a B.
I updates this post below. I was mistaken- the B game was at 1:00.
Sorry about that.

I think we are majorly in hearsay territory regarding just about everything we have heard.

Oops, I am so sorry.
The B league game was at 1:00, not 2:00.

MOO, but if you mean “St. Joseph (LB)”, I think the LB means Long Beach, the city where St. Joseph is located. JMO

Not sure about dumping the dog, but someone showing up could explain her moving around so much while she was there.

Someone unexpectedly showing up makes a lot of sense. It would explain her movement around the stadium, her "antsy" behavior, and her leaving at halftime. I have never thought that when she left her home, with the dog, that she looked like she had any plans for anything more than a drive to see her son play his game. She was not dressed at all as if she was going to any kind of serious meeting with the SEC or anyone else. She just looked like a typical mom out for a day of leisure. I had been focusing on the thought that she got a phone call that was the impetus for her departure, but it may very well have been an unexpected arrival that made her feel uncomfortable. The only thing that makes me think that may not have happened is, if she was scared enough to want her bf visiting her for the weekend, she had her ex, in a public place with other people, seems she would have maybe told him if someone was making her uncomfortable Idk.
