Elizabeth Duer, age 27, vanished 11 days ago. On September 7 the CalPoly Pomona student told a roommate she was heading out to run an errand. She left her Baldwin Park, CA apartment -- where she'd lived for about a year -- in her silver Honda Insight.
Then she just dropped off the face of the earth.
Elizabeth's cousin, Brent Weaver, told KABC in Los Angeles that it wasn't like Elizabeth "at all" to simply walk away from everything. To vanish on her own. Brent said that there was "no conceivable reason the family can think of why she wouldn't have contacted somebody." Elizabeth Duer, said her cousin, was "not the type of person" to just go away without telling someone.
Before she disappeared, Elizabeth Baldwin claimed she was being stalked. One press source stated that she'd been making this claim for a year and a half. And the day Elizabeth disappeared, something creepy happened. Duer's landlord, Betty Tsao, received an odd phone call.
The call came around 10 that night. Tsao said it came from the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. Tsao told KABC that the caller said 'We have Elizabeth.'
The caller asked questions that just sounded wrong. He asked if Elizabeth was at home. Then he said she'd be home soon.
In his interview with KABC, Brent Weaver said there was another problem with this phone call. The L.A. County Sheriff, Weaver said, "has no record of the call. We don't know who this guy was."
Elizabeth's family believes she had a stalker. She also had a boyfriend, and he seems to think she did, too.
Speaking to another LA TV station, Brent Weaver said, "Her boyfriend thought it was possible that she was actually going to confront this person that she thought was a stalker -- and we don't know that, but that's what we're extremely worried about, that if she was going to confront this person, something bad could've happened. We just don't know."
Elizabeth's aunt, Pati Weaver, spoke to the Whittier Daily News about her niece's disappearance. She said that it was strange that Elizabeth left her room unlocked. The whole situation, said Pati Weaver, is "just so unlike" Elizabeth Duer.
Elizabeth is a brunette with hazel eyes. She is 5'8" tall and weighs about 120 lbs. Her silver Honda is a 2000 model, California plate #5WXE205. Call Detective Mark Harvey at 626-960-1955 if you have any information about her disappearance.
