California Department of Justice Missing Persons

Official source checked October 21, 2026.

The DOJ written statement places Dakota in Nevada City on February 17, 2016. The NamUs own account supports early 2016 without a month or day; its March 22 header is not independently established by that account. Its North San Juan Missing From field and later report field remain separate from the written Nevada City sighting.
