The key conclusion based on this evidence is that:

• Derek was last seen at 12:02am 8/6/14 heading northbound on Alvarado on foot, without a bag of any kind.
• He did not walk to the intersection of Glendale and Alvarado st, and likely found public transportation between the intersections of Alvarado/sunset and Glendale/Alvarado st.

A few pertinent questions:

1. Iphone/ipad: We have accounted for his ipad, iphone, and computer. Forensics have been run and all significant leads/locations followed up on. No significant findings.
2. Wilshire Apartment—he had dropped off keys and paid Friend back early: From his gmail account, there was a transaction of $2999 using a social payment app, to pay a friend back. This was a loan that was given to Derek to pay for med school.
3. Von’s $200 withdrawal: Derek had a $200 withdrawal at approx 10:35 at a Von’s. This was highly unusual because Derek usually doesn’t carry much cash around.

Hospitals/Morgues/Jails:

all LA County and surrounding county facilities have been monitored and monitored every 24 hours for both John Does and Derek Seehausen.

Did he take a taxi?

iPhone records of calls have not found an unknown taxi call. It is thought that he may have walked to the Von’s location while heading N on Alvarado at 12:01am 8/6/14 to find a public phone to call a cab and pay cash. There is a taxi dispatch on South Alvarado that would have been the source of the taxi, but no Taxi was seen between 12:01AM 8/6/14 and 6AM 8/6/14

Did he have any drugs from the hospital?  

There is daily accounting of all drugs using in the operating rooms at hospitals at Los Angeles county. It is unlikely that Derek could have taken a significant amount of drugs during his two days as an anesthesiology medical student

Could he have gone to Mexico/International locations? 

Because Derek did not have his passport, we did not suspect that a flight was possible, but it might be that he headed towards Mexico with the intention of never returning. Its possible to enter Mexico without a passport, but he cannot return without one.

What about apps like Uber, dating apps, etc?: 

We have access all apps currrent and deleted on his electronics without any significant findings

Was there a suicide not or some sign he was suicidal?

No. there was an erroneous report early on in the process that suggested this, but have located all files on his computer, room, and email accounts. there was no suicide note.

Where there drugs involved? 

Per Thomas Martin, former DEA Agent and Principle Investigator of this search: “there was no credible evidence that there was anything more than recreational use for a young healthy man”

What other places did he like to go?

• Santa Barbara:Derek did an internal medicine rotation in Santa Barbara July 2014
• Palm Springs: Did family medicine rotation in Palm springs Feb 2014
• San Francisco: was scheduled for SF anesthesia rotation in late September/early October
• Atlanta: Scheduled for an anesthesia rotation in October
• Half Dome:  Climbed 6/22. Climbed with sandals and minimal supplies.
• Cambria and Palm Springs Homes:  One of Derek’s friends from medical school, has family homes in Palm Springs and Cambria, near Big Sur California. Our friends group often visits these homes for group outings, “Friendsgivings” etc. They were checked on 8/11/14 via the neighbors and no one was in these homes
