0:00 I have friends that have apps and they go like this boom on one screen they can see where all their family members are at one time yeah you can do that on your phone like I know where is at all time basically because Shing location cuz you're really insecure mhm cuz I'm very [Music] insecure Allison Chow went missing on Tuesday today is Friday and they still have found oh no Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday the 15-year-old yeah so this is a person from right here in this area um right down the street dude Alison Chow from Montery Park uh on Tuesday she was seen leaving her home around 5:32 on a bicycle she was going to go ride to her aunt's home in San Gabriel and she just never arrived she was uh riding a blue

0:50 mountain bike carrying a black backpack and she just disappeared nobody could find her there's not a single thing new in terms of info I just got off the phone with uh Mitchell in who at one point was mayor of Mony Park and he said so far there's no new info that we could possibly give where uh other news outlets aren't already saying it CU I was hoping there was some Insider thing maybe but there's just nothing she just literally disappeared so right now um the report was she was last seen on inz Street mhm okay so she was um there on a bicycle Northbound North North inz yeah mhm and then kind of where like Barnes Park is yeah Barnes Park heading towards Garvey and then that was it that's the last time they saw her but between here in San Gabriel I guess that's a huge

1:40 distance it's a pretty big distance was in the middle of the day 5:32 p.m. p.m and it's I mean it's summer right now we have light until 8 yeah so how long do you think it would take to get to where maybe the S Gabriel like right at the border maybe like on the bicycle probably at least 20 minutes 15 20 minutes I think think yeah so there there's still nothing all we got is the photos of what she looks like Allison was last seen wearing a purple t-shirt black shorts dark shoes Montery Park Police Department is investigating anyone with info call the number that you see uh down below if you know anything you seen anything if anything's weird yeah if we could put the picture right here so if anyone could in the 626 area or surrounding area be on the lookout he um there's a video that her of her mom I didn't see this before but

2:31 this is the most recent news article I could find from this is like a couple hours ago oh it sounds crazy but you know I didn't we don't have a play byplay for this kind of stuff right what do you do as a parent you're making flyers you're you're contacting the news we were out driving around um to anywhere there was open gas stations posting up Flyers we reached out to the community my younger sister uh took care of all the social media hitting up all the influencers you know please post helped me look for my niece my older sister pulled out all of her connections at work making announcements and the community just all banded together I mean we had one person from McDonald's who just canceled his shift it was at 1: in the morning I was knocking on the door please let me post this up at your facility and he did and then he's like I got to take off work this is hitting home this is in our

3:21 community and he drove around at one in the morning looking for her with me and so I just have to really think the community we my sister put together this um search organization there must have been more than a hundred people that came and they all brought their own flyers or tape to help out we didn't know how many people would come and um they went to all these different cities to post and it's just been amazing you know when they say that things are really bad to look for the helpers and the community has really come together to help me look my little girl that's so sad man I mean I'm I'm sure her and the police are doing this already but it might be helpful to get a collection of ring cam footage like if you know her normal route of how she goes so you can kind of see at what point stops yeah yeah like where her point to her

4:13 aunt's you know look for ring cameras or or or or any surveillance footage from the homes businesses is this something she did all the time like just Ro to her aunts probably it seems like if they're just going to let her drive the next city over cuz that's a pretty far distance so it must have been something like she does all the time or whatever ever yeah damn that's ████ crazy and had 15 you kind of let him stretch the legs a little bit yeah I guess I remember I mean at that age I would say at 12 13 we were all riding bicycles me too and you would see friends from school riding bicycles going to the freaking Library going to the park like that was a normal ass thing it was different for boys though I saw girls on bicycles too but they wouldn't be alone no not by them I didn't see them by themselves like that in a different age where like most people especially at the age of 15 probably also if they're given

5:04 permission to ride like that have maybe like a cell phone 90% of times it's like my sister wasn't allowed to do the stuff I did with like find my iPhone and stuff like that so there should be like a couple things that could happen in order to like expedite or begin that search but if they don't have any information up until this point it's like I just hate how how like bad it looks right now cuz that was Tuesday yeah yeah I remember there's like a 3-day rule of missing people um if people aren't found within those 3 days the percentages recovery is drastically lower so there there has to be there's going to I hope a miracle happens it's like that first 48 rule right M yeah yeah you guys remember I told you guys about the missing UCLA student from like your 2000 something like he was my best

5:56 pal at the time like brother it was his older brother and like he disappeared from UCLA one day he like he's playing a video game online it's like 2: in the morning last thing they know he gets up he goes the dogs trailed him um like his scent to a bus stop and then nothing and like they never saw him again like to this day this is like 200000 like 1999 2000 and they still never they never know what happened to one hint or missing UCLA student his name was Michael nrti and he um was he taking the bus at an odd hour we we don't know it just went to a bus stop and the scent went missing and like never to be seen or heard from again and and at the time like it was really raw cuz it was like day one or day two and everyone's just hoping oh well he went to go party with his friends and fell

6:47 asleep somewhere and he'll be back right and then you start to think day three day four okay maybe he got into some trouble like did some drugs somewhere and like maybe he just needs help and he's he's insecure about calling home or some ████ and then by the time it's it was a week it's just like everyone starts assuming the very very worst things can you implant like a air tag kind of situation to people cuz that's what I want to do for my whole family how would do that like a on the body yep implanted because like like a dog gets chipped cuz it's like if you put like bracelets on your kid or necklace or whatever they could take that off yeah but even when you chip a dog it's not like there's like a live feed of where your dog is it's just that it's Chip so if somebody else finds it and scans the chip you can get okay okay okay I know that not like simpy in my imagination what I want is a ████ air tag okay you can microchip

7:37 like your dog Why can't your microchip your kid there there are apps though I have friends that have apps and they go like this boom on one screen they can see where all their family members are at one time yeah you can do that on your phone like I know where is at all time basically because Shing sharing location cuz you're really insecure M cuz I'm very insecure like here's the crazy thing like for example when Mike's dad went missing there was already like a very clear lead on certain things right and then they were able to even find his car at the base of a trail Mount so you knew that that was the situation and you also knew that weather was a factor you know what I mean because of that night that it was snowing and stuff like that in La so they were like okay there's here's the car this was the information here's the time frame and then here's like the clear like he was hiking and there was snow so he's probably on his Trail and even then there was like a jurisdictional issue about like allocating resources to safely be able

8:27 to go out there and search room right I can only fear what it would be more like in a city where there's no like lead point of evidence it's not like the cops are just going to like keep looking in a city full of people that constantly runs you know what I mean there's like it's not like there's snow footprints that you can like figure out and like keep looking and so it's like you probably got like a detective on the case or whatnot and then it's up to it is up to people like in the community to try their best to gather some sort of new version of information unless they are doing something where there's enough cameras or CCTV or like whatever the freak type stuff you know what I mean like but it does seem really like yeah just disheartening because if they haven't found her by now then it's probably potentially farther than even just like their own space of like resources I mean it could be a lot of different things you know as like I

9:18 don't even want to go there but if I had kids and I think taica should do this is if they're going out they need to go out with spray paint so they can spray paint a shoe print so they so they're walking and then you can see where their footsteps are I really like that everywhere they go and the spray painting is an unlimited brand that is constantly moist your shoe is a good place to put the air tag yeah what if they change shoes you got put all the shoes yeah you yeah what if you get kidnapped by Asians and then they go don't be coming into this ████ house with some dirty ass shoes and then they drive the shoes somewhere else and if you have kids kids are crazy like one time I was like where Gio's family lives it's it's like a little complex and Tao will come into Grandma's house I'm like how come you only have one Croc on and he's like oh I could

10:09 only find one I'm like what if the air tag was in the other one I'm like God damn it do you guys use air tags for any of your things I do my luggage yeah my luggage I have I have one in every car that we have really smart just in case it gets stolen so I know where it is I have a Cricket noise maker in one of mine yeah that's really smart you can't miss it I would be down with the ████ chip thing though that way you got to carve it out implant that ████ I would be down to have had one when I was a kid yeah I would have loved one no not you I would have loved one you would you would have hated knowing that they know where you're at at all time as a kid though I would have been really like Oh I'm a SP I would have been I was freaked out of being kidnapped as a kid oh ████ yeah because my dad remember I told you guys that was a big scare in the '90s too though yeah that's why because it was easier to do it I think and then that one time like guy like uh had

11:01 showed up in a van outside our house asking us to help him find his like lost kitten or some ████ that's how they always do it and I didn't know what that meant and then I I told my dad and then he told me that guy was going to take you and it freaked me out for my what if he was your dad's friend good that's pretty sick that ████ happened in my neighborhood then my dad knows a guy that looks just like Al Borland that I have a picture of it I was the opposite cuz I feel like my mom was so controlling so like when I would come home from school my mom would call me like almost every hour or every 30 minutes to make sure like I was okay or whatever cuz I'm home alone right cuz I'm like I don't know like 9 or 10 or whatever so to go out and play with my friends I would just have the phone not hung up correctly so when she calls it's the busy ████ and then there's times where she'll like take off from work from San

11:52 Pedro and drive all the way to serritos to go what happened I'm like oh I just left I left the phone off the hook on accident I'm she would leave work just she's insane she's insane I don't know if that's insane you're insane dude parents watch puts molester in jail that's my oh my God yeah I remember that story y that was huge that's a little bit that's a little me right there let me see what the f let see this though yeah what the heck I'm showing you the story Sherry green was son Steven n Kenny 22 months that's my youngest brother I didn't know there was a photo there's a whole Washington I remember you telling us the whole story like all the who knows how many kids could have been were saved my mom was a hero and we were going to get sued by the ACLU so always hate those ████ ████ you guys ████ you guys that's where I think a lot of this safety comes from

12:43 preventative community policing yeah in in this situation exactly you know wow that's crazy remember and even though it did sound slightly pessimistic for half of the video there is always crazy instances where like people who do do go missing always somehow not always but somehow end up like not as far away as people think true you know what I mean so like does come together or like sees or hears any information like please do like reach out so all you sgv people if you notice anything weird even if it seems like it might be nothing give that number a call it doesn't matter nothing's going to happen if it doesn't turn into some big crack casing thing just even suspicious activity if you was thinking about calling on that like random van that was chilling outside for a while yeah you're not weird it's better they have more info we're going to go on patrol tonight let's do it and

13:33 don't be politically correct about that ████ yep
