FB post by Aly's Dad....

Below is an edited re-post of our Day 38 message originally put up last Sunday. Sadly, we were notified an hour after it went out that a body was found in the river matching Aly’s description. The post was immediately taken down so we could grieve and change direction. Most edits now refer to Aly in the past tense.

Day 38 – the silence is deafening. Every day we search for answers and clues, and still find no Aly. We meet with investigators a couple times a week and pour over mountains of information on Aly’s life. We gather around the my parents fire pit each evening around dinner. This naturally turns to reminiscing about the good times we’ve all had there over the past 20 years. Last night as the sun was going down, we watched a crystal-clear rainbow form over the orchard. Amazing as it was, it was yet another reminder that all is not right. Everyone scrambled to get a good picture with our cameras and phones, and when Dan pulled out his, he immediately scrolled to a picture from a few years ago of he and Aly standing under a similar rainbow in the exact spot. Every memory and discussion that comes up during those fire pit sessions is a reminder of our new reality.

During the days we sift through her social media, phone, computer, and bank account records looking for any sign of something amiss or someone nefarious in her life. With Aly, there are no signs of depression or emotional problems beyond normal young adult stresses. We keep wondering if we missed something and keep coming back to the realization that she had everything to look forward to.

There are so many examples of her enjoying life, like a month ago when she flew to Los Angeles to visit friends. She had a great time, shared pictures and stayed in touch. Even as recent as March 30th, the day she went missing, she was following up with a friend about plans for a trip to Ixtapa, Mexico this summer. This was a big deal for her because it would mark her first time out of the country. She was working through a class at Yuba College, and was even reaching out to Arizona State University to enroll in a nursing program there. She worked two jobs, was a part time student and still found time for friends and family. She even made an orthodontic appointment on March 30th to have her braces adjusted 2 months down the road. Looking at her bank account we found she also set up a monthly $25 automated fund transfer from checking to savings to avoid those pesky low account balance fees. She was a proactive young adult learning more about life each day and it’s clear in her social and digital world she was realizing a whole life ahead of her.

Thankfully her phone was found intact – it’s a goldmine of information that we otherwise would not have. Her computer and phone records also show a side of Aly’s life that she didn’t share, like a group of ‘friends’ in Chico and some others in Yuba City, Live Oak and Gridley. She never shared these names to her parents or grandparents. Instead she described them as her “Chico” or “Yuba City friends,” as if she didn’t want them to know because we would disapprove of them. It’s also obvious in her messages who had her best interest at heart and who was taking advantage of her.

So many other burning questions too. Like, why would a 37 year old Michael Lizarraga share selfies last year in a hot tub with three girls nearly half his age? Aly was 19 in that picture – it was taken May 26th, 2016 and was shared with all his buds on Instagram and Facebook. Inappropriate? Not legally. Poor taste for a father of two young girls? You be the judge. According to Lizarraga, he stayed in touch with her on Snapchat over the year, but Snapchat’s privacy ensures we have no way to prove that and neither does he. In a year and a half of phone records, she texted him twice and called him once, which coincide with the only two times she ever met him – late May 2016 and March 30th, 2017.

And why did the Taste of India restaurant owner not want to share security camera footage of Aly to her Dad? After making him wait 20 minutes on Day 2 (Saturday, April 1st), he showed him 90 minutes of video of the time after Aly and Lizarraga left. Then he asked him to, “Tell the cops they don’t need to see it.” Dan walked away thinking he got a bad tip and believed Aly was never there. Fortunately, the police helped the owner find the right video and proved they were there. Was he covering something up for Lizarraga or himself? Was he worried about bad press? Here’s some advice restaurant owner, the best press you can get is where you fully cooperate with the father and family of a missing girl. Honest mistake? Maybe. Anyone want to know more? Ask him directly – the sign hanging in the restaurant says you can provide feedback at R_bains@comcast.net, or 530-713-8089.

Last thought is the jealous boyfriend theory which we have not ruled out. Some of her messages show this as a possibility. But what jealous boyfriend would track her down on a late evening drive home from someone’s house and kidnap her? That’s some seriously deep jealously and doesn’t add up.

Bottom line, we have our Aly home now, and this is the worst outcome we could have imagined. Someone out there is still knows something more and we intend to find it – Justice for Aly.

Copied this from Justice for Aly Yeoman facebook page:

Aly's celebration of life will be at Daddow Park on June 3rd starting at 11am. Daddow Park is located at Hazel and Virginia Streets, in Gridley. Please dress casual. If you would like to dress accordingly, our color theme will be white and yellow to signify daisies. This is a pot luck event so we are asking anyone who can to bring some type of dish and/or drinks. Seating is limited, as we're not sure how many to expect, so please bring lawn chairs if you have them. We wanted to thank the community for all the love and support they have shown to our family in our time of need.

That's a great idea for the family to do that.

Hope it helps heal the wounds.

They have still not released the autopsy reports. Apparently the tox reports can take 4-6 weeks. Praying that the forensic tests lead to some answers and that maybe things are taking longer as they have evidence and want to make sure they do things right as to not ruin any case they may have.

I still feel strongly that foul play was involved. Drugs, alcohol, or combination of both that lead to overdose or passing out. Panic and reality set in and bad decisions were made. Body was put into the river and truck got stuck leaving. I think the last person she was with had something to do with it. The restaurant owner, his son, nephew and nephews girlfriend are his alibi (all friends or relatives). The place were the truck was seen driving and found is a place that many locals and kids go to hang out at the rivers beach. A place were kids go to party and well known to many of the locals, not just a random dirt road to nowhere. Again, this is just my opinion.
