Episode Details

This report details the mysterious disappearance of Amy Hillyard, a well-known Oakland coffee shop owner and community leader who vanished from her home in March 2026. Despite her professional success and deep local roots, she was classified as an at-risk missing person due to struggles with depression and anxiety. The episode describes the unsettling scene left behind at her residence and tracks the subsequent massive volunteer search efforts that have spanned multiple counties. Central to the narrative is the role of Farley’s Coffee, the family business that has transformed into a headquarters for those seeking her safe return. Now entering its second month, the investigation is bolstered by a $25,000 reward and an outpouring of support from a community desperate for answers. This account serves as both a timeline of the search and a tribute to Hillyard’s significant impact on the Bay Area.
