This is Amy Hilliard, and she is co-owner

Oh, really?

Which has been greatly expanded.

Tell my viewers about this real quick.

Oakland mom Amy Hilliard disappears after leaving home without her cell phone.

She was last seen near Lake Merritt, her family and authorities urgently seeking information.

No, we have only been told that she has a medical condition, but there has been no definition of what that is.

There's no descriptions of what it could possibly be.

Just that it is a condition that requires attention.

That's it.

And that's why they elevated the search.

Yeah, we know that she did not have her cell phone, Nancy.

Yeah, this is very densely forested, rugged terrain, which adds some complexity to this because in that type of terrain, the likelihood of someone hearing or seeing something, another hiker on the trail,

reduces greatly, right?

Because of the dense vegetation, because of the canyons, the terrain features.

And then naturally, a lot of hikers and runners are wearing headphones in 2026.

You know, they're listening to a podcast, listening to music as they run.

So the further away from that recreation area that Amy walked, if she potentially did head to the north, the more difficult this search will be.

Well, you know, you mentioned the area for children to play.

That's what they're talking about with recreational.
