Five questions. Answer one, and you move this case.
Who else was on Collins Avenue in the early hours of January 6, 2002?
Alysha was last known to have left the Shore Club at around 4 a.m. If you were nearby, or worked at a hotel, restaurant, bar or other venue, you may remember seeing her, or noticing who she was with.
Who knew her in Los Angeles?
Alysha travelled regularly between LA and Miami. This period of her life remains one of the least understood. If you knew her there, however briefly, your memories could help fill important gaps.
Who knew Krsangi or Yami in the Hare Krishna community?
Many people knew Alysha by her devotee names, Krsangi or Yami, rather than Alysha. If you knew her through the Hare Krishna community, you may hold memories or photographs that could help.
Did anyone see or hear from her after January 6, 2002, anywhere?
There is no confirmed sighting after that morning. A single credible one, from anywhere in the world, would change everything.
Who has photographs, letters, or recordings of her?
New images help people recognise her, and can carry details, places, dates, faces, that no one has connected yet.
