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

[Spartygirl]

I think there is a lot going on in the background here that we are not privy to.

Ex portrays them as close enough to text daily but her friend uses the term "custody battle".
Shady boss who is currently under federal investigation for a huge fraud $43 mil.
She was the signatory on lots of paperwork.
She alluded to stress in her job but wasn't specific.
Ex gets her electronics four days after she disappears but doesn't go through them for four more days,and more surprisingly, has access/passwords to her electronics.

Not throwing shade at anyone, just an awful lot going on with Heidi that leaves a lot of potential scenarios.

Yeppers
A whole lot going on here.

I do NOT think it was self harm, at all.

'It was pretty low of Sugarman and his minions to accuse Heidi of basically embezzling when she's mysteriously disappeared,' he said.

He added that he has no idea how her employer had obtained her banking information.

Wayne, a hairdresser, revealed Planck doesn't have a college degree or any accounting licensure but was making good money as a bookkeeper, earning $125,000 a year plus monthly bonuses of up to $1,500 a month.

She has been employed at Camden Capital Partners LLC for the past five years, starting out as Sugarman's personal assistant and eventually being promoted to a bookkeeper.

'Heidi knows all of Jason's and the company's secrets. She knows where the bones are buried,' he said.

'This whole thinks just stinks. Something just isn't right, and I can't put my finger on it.'

Wayne recalled Planck's 'antsy' at their son's football game, saying she kept 'switching her seat, one minute she sat by us, the next she was over sitting in a different bleacher.'

Well, she isn't earning bad money. I'm in that ballpark but not driving a RR or living in a 1.3M home?

Maybe there's something to the accusation? Not going to harp on this, but we'd be foolish not to consider the possibility.

It seems that most of the news coming out in this case is from the ex-husband, and is being reported by the US Sun and The Daily Mail, both of which, I believe, pay for interviews, and both of which seem to be examples of shoddy journalism, to say the least. Given that, I am not sure how much of anything I see there is accurate, i.e., the ex supposedly saying Heidi had no college degree. I do not have a link handy, so take it as you will, but I saw a profile for her that shows a BS in Business Administration from Cal State, and I think the year was 2004. If true, then either the ex was disseminating bad information, or what he said was misrepresented. That is just one example of many things I have seen there that seem questionable. I really wish more reputable sources were doing a bit of investigative journalism, but that seems to be a thing of the past. JMO

I just can’t see why her boss would feel she is such a threat that he would harm her. The SEC very likely has more than enough info on his alleged crimes already. He’s been on their radar and been investigated for years now. And if he’s so worried about going to jail for a white collar financial crime, boy would he be scared to go to jail for murder or conspiracy to commit murder. I could maybe see an argument being taken too far or something (not accusing him specifically, I’m just saying in general)

Heidi was filing annual reports. I could probably train my cat to file said reports. That’s not a diss to Heidi- I also file corporate reports as part of my job. You log in and click that all of the company info is the same as last year, and if not you just update to address, phone, contact person, etc. it’s in no way financial reporting of any sort. There is nothing to indicate to me that she has anything to do with tax reporting or any sort of financial/SEC reporting.

I personally feel her position isn’t as deeply involved as some are making it out to be. Jmo

At first JW said Heidi doesn't discuss her work situation with him and then he said Heidi knows all of the company secrets. Which is it? MOO

After reading the posts here and the constant reports of the ex talking… I have opinions but I’m not allowed to post that here. So I’ll leave it at that.

I think I can read your mind. But hey CV19 was likely detrimental to the hair industry, if you get my drift? Advertising is also expensive.
Partially joking, he didn't ask to be put in this spotlight and seems like a great Dad.

 

[Gobstopper]

Has it been reported that Heidi has spoken with the SEC? Is it assumed that she has at some point? MOO

I don’t believe it’s been reported. Just an assumption that she may be of interest considering her work.

This would be the perfect case for a young, eager investigative reporter to sink their teeth into. So many avenues to travel down.

I'm still not clear if the dog was found wandering loose in DTLA and then taken to the 28th floor where the finders lived or if the dog was literally wandering loose on the 28th floor? That little detail makes a big difference, imo.

We're relying on the ex-husband for all the information, and he says it was found wandering on the 28th floor.

It would be better if we heard from the dog's finder's directly, but they're not talking to the media. Personally, I prefer it when LE confirms that kind of detail, before building a theory around it.

I have a hard time picturing how something could happen inside a building with that much security, yet not have led to an arrest already.

Unless LE know exactly what happened in the building but lost the trail after that, and are still investigating those leads.

 

[Gobstopper]

If Heidi was possibly lured to the SEC for a fake meeting and nefarious purposes after leaving the the football game, would she take her dog? After thinking about it more it doesn't seem like a reasonable thing to take a dog to an important meeting. MOO

I think they know who walked in with the dog. If it wasn't Heidi then it was someone who lived there so it wouldn't be anything suspicious to security. MOO

IMO the dog complicates a lot of reasonable possibilities. It leads me to believe it was something unexpected that happened. Unless she was feeling anxious about something upcoming and having the dog brought her comfort. I’m just not sure!

ETA DTLA isn’t really a leave your dog in the car kind of place, given the parking situation. Assuming she stopped for some kind of meeting.

New to following this and working on a timeline to try up to speed.

JW told Nancy Grace that HP’s computer hasn't been found, but I thought originally he said LE found it during the welfare check?

Generally when a person is missing with their vehicle for more than a week, I assume they are both at the bottom of a body of water or off the road in deep underbrush. The problem with my standard theory here is, of course, the dog’s location. The map doesn’t seem to show any body of water close enough to the apartment house at which Seven was found for him to have crawled out of a window as the vehicle was sinking and made it to the apartment less than 3 hours later. Seems unlikely anyway.

But are there any areas close by with enough vegetation near the road to hide a vehicle? From the map, the apartment house surroundings look pretty urban, but is a hidden car a possibility? Could Heidi have crashed and Seven jumped out of the window to have been found by someone who lives at the apartment house? (Like many, I don’t believe for a second that she brought him there. Too much security for that.)

 

[CharlestonGal]

Either way, the dog got up there with an access card. An associate of Heidi's who lived there or was renting an Air BnB there with no background check? That person may have done something to her and ditched the dog on another floor. They had a body and a RR to get rid of. Or the finders found the dog on the street and took him up there themselves. That's why we need to know exactly where that dog was found. imo

Living in FL this is usually the case with a missing person and vehicle. I was thinking the same thing. In a local accident the dog survived the crash, was spotted and took off. They searched for weeks. Came up empty handed. Dog was spotted on multiple occasions. Dogs can get quite far from the accident scene. moo

I have thought about this too. This area is really really urban. There IS a river running near downtown. It looks very industrial and I believe it’s contained in concrete. It’s basically dry most of the year I think? Kinda hard to describe. IMO a car couldn’t be sunk and concealed. The train tracks run right next to it to toward Union Station from the south, so it gets a lot of eyes.

 

[Ducky123]

I’m more inclined now to believe the dog was found near the building in downtown LA. There’s a lot there. Banks are closed on Sunday. But you have federal/state offices, museums, restaurants, staples center, shopping, religious services, a major transit hub (Union Station and there is also a fairly unsophisticated metro system) - all reasons why someone would swing through.

I live in the Hope and Flower Building in DTLA. I’ve been somewhat following this discussion and wanted to add a few things. One the parking garage needs a remote to get into it and all spaces are assigned. We pay $200 a month for parking and more if you want valet. Guests have to park in a public lot across the street for $20 a night. Two we have to keep a list of approved guests at the concierge’s desk and even then we have to come down to the lobby to escort our guests upstairs. Three nobody can get into the elevator and come upstairs unless they have a resident key fob to swipe for your particular floor. Four, my car got damaged in the garage so I asked for the footage from the surveillance cameras. I was told this request had to go through their legal department and to have my attorney or detective handling my case at LAPD contact their legal department. I spend 5k a month on a one bedroom and this place does everything in their power to make it difficult for everyone involved. If I order food, they don’t allow the delivery drivers to bring it to your door. We have to come down and get it from the concierges desk. Same thing with packages. They are supposed to accept them, log them and keep them at the concierges desk yet I’ve had countless packages go “missing” even after the delivery company has received a signature from a concierge. These were big value items. I don’t know ANYONE that is going to be resigning their lease. I don’t know much about this case but I can assure you she didn’t park in the garage, walk in, get in an elevator and get off at the 28th floor. It’s impossible for someone who doesn’t live here and have the garage opener, an assigned spot and a key fob for the 28th floor.

Couldn't a resident give someone their remote to garage or their resident key fob to gain access to the floors??
