Heidi Planck, who worked as a bookkeeper, has been found dead. She had been lost. A judge decided that the 39-year-old mother died on October 17, 2021, the night she went missing in Los Angeles. This was shown in court documents. The mother of one suddenly disappeared after she went to her son’s flag football game. Since then, she hasn’t been seen or heard from.
Even though the alleged cause of death has not been made public, the LA mom’s family has said they are worried that foul play may have been involved. The Sun said that Heidi, who was 39 at the time, may have overdosed on prescription drugs at a party with strippers and bitcoin gambling. It was said that her boss at the investment firm, Jason Sugarman, knew President Joe Biden’s troublesome son, Hunter Biden.
She was with a high-ranking official at the foundation run by Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, when she disappeared. In a recent court case involving a major fraud scheme, Sugarman was ordered to pay more than $10 million. Their son can now get money from Heidi’s life insurance policy because her ex-husband Jim Wayne, who is 64 years old, filed a petition to have her declared dead.
On January 17, Judge Ruben Garcia of the Los Angeles Superior Court said, “The petitioner (Jim Wayne) has met the required standard of proof in support of his request for the death penalty, which the court will follow.” From the facts given, there are no reasonable conclusions that can be made about Heidi’s life right now. At the moment, nothing is more than a guess.
Don’t forget that I have a young son at home. Even though I have my own ideas about what happened, I’m glad we’ve finally reached a point where we can move on. I’m sure the detectives will find out what happened. Since they are still looking into a crime, they continue to do research. Wayne said, “I have faith that they’ll figure things out.”
Even though police have been looking into the case for more than a year, no arrests have been made and no suspects have been found. Judge Ruben Garcia is in charge of the Los Angeles County Superior Court in California. He’s been doing that job since 2017. On January 6, 2025, he will no longer be in office. Garcia was re-elected as a Superior Court judge in Los Angeles County, California, on June 5, 2018, even though the primary and general elections were thrown out.
