Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officials have issued a public plea for information regarding the whereabouts of Amy Lynn Edmonds, 34, who has been missing since June 28. Edmonds was last seen departing Coast Plaza Hospital in Norwalk, approximately 15 miles southeast of Los Angeles, around 2:45 p.m. on that date.
Authorities have expressed significant concern for Edmonds' well-being due to her documented mental health and medical conditions. She requires ongoing medication, though the specifics of her treatment were not disclosed by law enforcement. Edmonds is described as 5-foot-4-inches tall, weighing 140 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she was reportedly wearing a blue jacket and carrying a black backpack.
As of Friday, Edmonds had been missing for nearly two weeks. It remains unclear why she was admitted to Coast Plaza Hospital or her intended destination after leaving the facility. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has classified her as an at-risk missing person. Information regarding the availability of surveillance footage from the hospital has not been released.
