But we have — and had — ample indications that this is far from the case and that she may be i) mentally distressed and ii) deliberately cut off from outside communications by someone who is a known dealer, with gang connections. We believe she is still in San Diego.
We have tried to provide further information to the Missing Persons Unit but no-one will return our calls. We have had no updates since we first filed our report.
My wife and I are distraught. With no communication from the San Diego Sheriff's unit and no assistance from the Australian consulate in Southern California, we — and our daughter — desperately need support from other communities to press the urgency of our daughter's situation on all authorities.
Her life depends on it.
