It's been three years since our friend Heidi Planck went missing. To those who reached out in anger and sadness over this tragedy, we understand and carry that outrage and pain with us every single day. For any human being, let alone a wonderful and loving mother, to go missing is an absolute injustice. How a woman can be seen entering a luxury high-rise building in downtown Los Angeles only to vanish moments later, leads us to question not only how unsafe DTLA has become, but perhaps more importantly how safe these luxury buildings claiming to be "secure" really are? Perhaps high-end finishes and sweeping views of the city are worthless if the corresponding risk is being disappeared from within.
We want to thank everyone who has reached out with tips, leads, and theories on what may have happened to her. We remain steadfast in our faith that this case will be solved and the perpetrators brought to justice. As each year passes, we not only pray for Heidi and her son, but we pray for those who committed this crime. It may not happen within our desired timeline, but it will happen...5, 10, 15, 20 years later. It will happen when they least expect it, for the truth shall always prevail and cast out from the shadows those living in darkness and fear.
We also want to thank those who reached out on her birthday this year with well wishes and condolences. We cannot say enough how heart-warming it is to know that friends, family, and strangers are still thinking of her, let alone taking the time to reach out. Heidi was such a special and unique person. It does not surprise us that her impact continues to live on years later. One day, when her son has grown into the wonderful adult we know he will become, we will share with him all the love his mother received in the years following her disappearance.
Until then, stay safe L.A. and keep the leads coming!
