Susan Park wants just one thing — to find her daughter, a 20-year-old Glendale resident who was reported missing late last month.

A reward of $5,000 was offered last week from family members for information leading to finding Elaine Park, who was last seen Jan. 28 at the Calabasas residence of her on-and-off boyfriend.

“My high blood pressure is not doing well,” said Susan Park on Monday. “Sometimes I stare at the wall and I can’t do anything. I know the support is out there trying to pull me together.”

Glendale Police Department Sgt. Robert William, who confirmed the reward information as being from the family, had no new information about the case Monday.

“If we get a new lead to give us some direction, we’ll take that lead and work with whatever we have,” William explained. “We haven’t received anything. Whatever leads we had at the onset have turned out with nothing.”

William said surveillance footage showed Elaine Park leaving her boyfriend’s house in Calabasas on Jan. 28, before she was reported missing two days later.

“A lot of people have suspicions on the boyfriend,” William said. “The boyfriend never followed her. And now video evidence is she leaves on her own and he stays home that night.”

Susan Park disagrees with William’s assessment. She believes there is a missing piece of the video that might help solve the case.

Glendale police suspended their search efforts for Park on Feb. 3 but said they were continuing the investigation and turning to her family and friends for help. Park was reported missing on Jan. 30 by family members and her vehicle was found in Malibu on Feb. 2, parked along Pacific Coast Highway with her keys, cellphone and other personal property inside.

Last week, William said, a Los Angeles County search and rescue team searched for Park in the Malibu area but could not find her.

What bothers Susan Park is the roughly hour of video footage on Jan. 28 from 6:05 a.m. to 7:14 a.m. — when Elaine Park’s vehicle is leaving her boyfriend’s home in the 2600 block of Delphine Lane Calabasas but before she is seen leaving through a community gate. That time period is unaccounted for, Susan Park said.

She said she received two DVD’s with private footage and community footage that omits the hour.

“It was almost pitch dark,” Susan Park said, when her daughter’s car leaves the community gate at 7:14 a.m. — roughly 69 minutes after she drove away from her boyfriend’s house. “You can’t really see if it’s her as the vehicle is driving out. You clearly see a license plate number.”

Susan Park said she would like to see not just the missing footage but all of the footage from Jan. 28 to Feb. 2 when the vehicle was located. Sometime this week she wants to gather all her notes, summarize them and bring them to the attention of Glendale Police Department Chief Robert Castro to further investigate the boyfriend.

“I don’t want to jeopardize the case and get them upset,” Susan Park said. “I’m not trying to get them into trouble but I feel they ruled him out too quickly. They didn’t search the (boyfriend’s) main house; they didn’t take the K-9 to go through the gated community or even inside the backyard or whatever. They didn’t do that ... it’s just too quick.”

A GoFundMe account with the title “Help Find Elaine Park” has been created to hire a private investigator, Susan Park said. There’s also a Facebook page titled “Help Find Elaine Park.”

Park, who is Korean-American, has a thin build and is 5 foot 6 inches tall and 125 pounds, authorities said.

She also has long brown hair with blonde tips and brown eyes and has been known to wear heavy mascara and makeup, authorities added.

Park has a tattoo of a cow skull on her upper left arm area with an unknown tattoo on her lower left arm.
