annual reports aren’t financial, unless you’re referring to some sort of SEC requirements. It’s basically just keeping your company information updated, and paying the yearly fee. Some states are biennial. I handle the biennial filing for the company I work for, as well as for the couple of LLCs my boss has for his rental properties. Our accounting firm has nothing to do with it though. It only takes a few minutes, it’s not a big deal.

RSBM: This. Annual reports are a joke really. In AZ, you can be delinquent and still remain in good standing. Anyone can complete the form of annual report - does not need to be a member or manager or stat agent. LLCs have members and managers, not officers.

I was searching to see if Heidi had a real estate license and I saw that this article had been updated and I read this -
"Smeader said her daughter completed a certification course in real estate and other business-related classes."

Is there any way to find out if she had a real estate license? I wonder if she was also working as an agent and met someone at the apartment building to show a unit.

Outside realtors list some of the units so I'd think that their agents - and perhaps other agents - could show the units just as they would for properties for sale. And I read on one of the company's websites that they do work with outside agents to make the experience more comfortable for the client but I can't remember where I read it exactly.

If something happened while she was meeting a client, that could explain why the property managers have been so hard to work with.

It's a weird kind of thing, but women like Heidi always seem to have a real estate license. The kids would say she "hustles" which in the current slang refers to someone who does a lot of different jobs with financial success. Even if she hasn't committed any crimes, she is closely associated with people who have. I'm not really seeing a trail of missings or dead bodies around these guys, though.

same in NY. I’m not a member or manager- and I’m not involved at all with the rental property LLCs I file for lol. Imo it’s an easy way for the state to make some quick coin without putting too much burden on the business.

that being said, I’d never be comfortable putting my home address on any publicly available information. I think it’s weird that they use her home address so often on business documents. Which makes me think her boss owns the home. Jmo

I have wondered if someone else was paying her lease, as she appears to be living very well for what seems to be basically an administrative assistant, but you raise a good point about the possibility of her boss owning the house. I now wonder if perhaps the RR was a lease or owned by someone else as well. Would seem to be great perks. JMO

Mom 'argued with boyfriend who thought she was ghosting him' when she vanished

Ex-husband Jim Wayne, 63, reported Heidi missing after she failed to pick up their son from school three days later.

He told The Sun Heidi had an argument with the man she had been dating in the week before her disappearance - but insisted her new beau is a "great guy."

'NO IDEA'
Wayne, who runs a beauty salon to the stars in Beverly Hills, said: “They had been in an argument the week before so he didn't know anything about her disappearance.

“He thought she was just ghosting him. He had no idea.

“He said that they got into an argument because he lives in San Francisco and she wanted him to come down but he couldn’t because he had to work."

But Jim insists Heidi's new man is a "great guy", adding: "I don’t have any worries about him, he’s a great guy."

Questions

How do we know when the video of her leaving the house was taken ? I have been assuming it shows her on the way to the sons game but I am not sure.

Also how do we know that she took the computer to the sons game?

TIA

Can anyone make sense of the grant deeds for 3129 Helms Ave (Heidi's house)?

[Lusitana]

Seems like Heidi and her ex husband are on good terms and are in each other's lives to some degree. I still think this is about work or some sort of mental breakdown.

Sorry for quoting my own post. It seems that Helms Square, LLC (listed owner), District Ten, LLC, and the individual buyer (who I will not name) are all the same person/people transferring the deed between their own LLCs.

Is this usual? I know nothing about real estate or LLCs.

In the photo of her leaving the house (to the game), she doesn’t appear to have a laptop. Phone maybe in her purse. But given that both were found at her house—she maybe didn’t have either.

I was just looking at it and coming to the same conclusion. I don't know what the transferring is about, possibly it's a way of raising loans for ongoing projects... for eg if they are doing a new build somewhere, they might use the Helms home as collateral for another construction loan to build a new project, then take it back into their passive investment company, etc.

Just a guess.

MOO is that her RR and house were listed as owned by one of the many companies affiliated with her and JS.
Also, there's no information out there until now with the post above saying the ex commented about a new guy and him being a good person.
I wanted to add that I believe she had 2 phones, a work and a personal that's why she likely didn't go back to the house after leaving the game. She didn't leave with either of those, just her personal cell or work cell whichever it's been determined to have been located in the house. I know the ex stated she had her computer in the trunk of her car but did anyone see it?
Just interesting info and questions I'm pondering.
In my opinion.

I doubt she would take her dog to an app't.

 

[LadyL]

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear.

In my opinion, she has no knowledge.

Firstly, it happened several years before she was hired.

Secondly, she is just the assistant who does some simple paperwork. She has no evidence, she has no role in managing (JS’s) money, she does not attend important meetings or participate in phone calls. The SEC and the FBI isn't interested in the assistant.

Possibly, not understanding this, Heidi became scared that she would somehow be held responsible. Possibly, not understanding this, conspiracy theorists were harassing her about it.

But legally, she was not in trouble, it was not her problem what her boss did with his buddies.

it's quite possible the opposite is true

Maybe her license plate is really UB40?

Mystery surrounds disappearance of Los Angeles mother after leaving son’s football game last month

Dateline seems a bit more fact-checked than some of the other sources. It indicates that police accompanied her ex in an initial wellness check, and they found both a cellphone and laptop in her home (not missing as supposed). The message about the dog was on the phone (which the ex was able to unlock?) Presumably she had another phone.

I agree HP's private life is a bit of a mystery. She had her son with her 1/2 time, what did she do when he wasn't with her?

The phone is interesting??? Either she had two, or she came home after the game, before the dog was found. I say this because the place where the dog was found is on the way from the game to her home. Would she have stopped there for some reason, after she left the game, then something happened to her? Not if she only had one phone. If that is her only phone, she obviously made it home at some point after she left the game, so why leave without your phone?

imo it’s because the property was originally one home, and they divided the plot into two separate parcels and built two homes

Yep, listed as Lot A & Lot B, must have been split many years ago. The tax rolls were corrected several times (reassessment was removed, IIRC).

So did she go home after the game, grab the dog and leave her phone or was the dog left in the car during the game and she just left?? Maybe the dog was at the game too??? so confused.

• Heidi Planck, 39, was last seen on October 17, 2021, in the 7800 block of Gardendale Street in Downey, Los Angeles County.

• Her ex-husband, Jim Wayne, who has 50/50 custody of their son, told Dateline that she left their son’s football game at halftime and appeared to be a little “edgy” and “antsy.” “She was a little bit antsy, yes. I don’t know why,” Jim said. “All I know is that was the last time I saw her or talked to her.”

• Over the next few days, there were no texts or calls from Heidi to her son, which Jim said was extremely unusual. But Jim assured his son that his mother would be there to pick him up at school on October 20, which was her next scheduled day to have him. So when Heidi didn’t show up to pick up their son from school on Wednesday, October 20, Jim told Dateline he knew something was wrong.
  
  
• Jim told Dateline that on October 20 he filed a missing persons report with the LAPD and detectives performed a wellness check at her home. “The home was in pristine condition,” he said. “But her phone and laptops were left behind." Jim said one of the texts received on Heidi’s phone was from a woman who had found Heidi’s dog, who was chipped, and tried to contact Heidi.
  
  
• Jim said this is how he discovered that Heidi’s dog was found about three hours after she was last seen, on the 28th story of an apartment building in Downtown Los Angeles. Jim told Dateline that the security to get access to each door and floor in that building is extensive and that he doesn’t know how the dog got into the building and up to the 28th floor. He added that he also doesn’t know why Heidi would be in the building.
  
  
• Federal agents and homicide detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department searched Heidi’s home on Friday, October 29th, but details of what they found were not released.

• Jim Wayne believes his ex-wife's job may have played a role in her disappearance after he received a phone call from a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) official on Oct. 21 asking him what he knows about her boss, JS. "I don't know how she got my name and I don't know how she got my number, but she called me and started asking me questions about JS," he said. "Something's dirty here."

• Planck was working as a controller and executive assistant for an investment advisory company under investigation by the SEC called Camden Capital Partners LLC, according to her LinkedIn and Facebook profiles.

• The SEC in 2019 charged Camden Capital executive JS and his business partner, JG, with securities fraud. The pair had developed a scheme to steal $43 million from its clients that they purported to invest in Native American tribal bonds. JS "ultimately siphoned almost $9 million in cash for his direct and personal benefit," according to a 2019 SEC complaint. JG pleaded guilty to "multiple fraudulent schemes" in January of 2020 and was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison. JS appeared to delete his LinkedIn profile on Tuesday after Fox News reached out for comment.

• Planck told her friends and family that the company had "some tax filings that were due" and had complained that "her boss has her name on so much of their corporate paperwork," Wayne said. Law enforcement officials have collected all of Planck's electronics as well as her son's phone, Wayne said.

• "The dog was found wandering around a luxury apartment complex downtown Los Angeles," Wayne told Fox News Digital. Residents of the apartment complex found and cared for the dog until Wayne contacted the microchip company and tracked down its location. He added that Planck had no connection to the building, and when he checked its parking garage a few days later, he did not see her car there. At first, Wayne said, the owners of the building "weren't being very collaborative" with law enforcement in terms of handing over security footage and other information. After police served them a warrant, however, the owners began cooperating. "It's an enormous building," Wayne said. "So, I'm just, I'm totally bewildered by this. This is completely puzzling why we haven't found out anything."

• Jim Wayne told The Sun Heidi had an argument with the man she had been dating in the week before her disappearance - but insisted her new beau is a "great guy." Wayne, who runs a beauty salon to the stars in Beverly Hills, said: “They had been in an argument the week before so he didn't know anything about her disappearance. “He thought she was just ghosting him. He had no idea. “He said that they got into an argument because he lives in San Francisco and she wanted him to come down but he couldn’t because he had to work." But Jim insists Heidi's new man is a "great guy", adding: "I don’t have any worries about him, he’s a great guy." “As I said, I'm not a detective, but I can pretty much assure you that that’s not it.”
