At about 5:32 p.m. on July 16, Alison Jillian Chao left her father's house in the 200 block of North Ynez Avenue in Monterey Park. Alison was last seen on Ring camera at about 6:23 p.m. on a blue mountain bike headed for her aunt's house in San Gabriel.

At the time of her disappearance, Alison was carrying a black backpack and was wearing a purple T-shirt, black shorts and dark shoes. She's described as an Asian girl around 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs about 96 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes.
