On October 17, 2021, 39-year-old Heidi Planck left her son’s football game at halftime and was never seen by her family again. What followed was a trail of bizarre clues, security video from outside a swanky high-rise apartment building in downtown LA, a missing dog found wandering alone, and a company tied to a massive financial scandal. But at the heart of it all is a woman, a mother, who still needs to be found.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Heidi Planck is urged to contact the Los Angeles Police Department, Missing Persons Unit, at (213) 996-1800 or 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (877-527-3247). Anyone wishing to remain anonymous should call the L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (800-222-8477).
