NCMEC dates its own last-seen statement July 3, 2025 and separately lists Missing Since July 3, 2025. The original NamUs review retains a July 23, 2025 last-contact value and an undated-sighting question. The discrepancy remains unresolved. This proposal does not correct either source, equate the events or infer a final contact date. Last seen refers only to NCMEC’s explicitly dated wording. The separate Missing Since header keeps its own role; equal values do not establish event equivalence. No current case outcome is inferred.
