MONTEREY
PARK, Calif., July 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is a statement
from Annie Chao, mother of
Alison Chao, provided by the Law
Offices of Gregory E. Almas:
I am incredibly relieved that Alison has been found safe. My
love for Alison is unconditional and unwavering. Alison is my only
child and she means everything to me. I understand that there was a
good samaritan who helped to escort her to the police and I
specifically want to thank that person for their
kindness.
A week ago, when I learned from the police that Alison was
missing, I feared the worst. This has been an incredibly difficult
time for my family and I, and I am really at a loss for words about
how to express how I am feeling. I am committed to doing everything
possible to help Alison move forward and heal in the days and weeks
ahead.
I again want to thank everyone in the community who helped to
search for Alison. I will forever be grateful to all of the
volunteers who walked the hot streets putting up flyers, knocking
on doors to check Ring cameras, and spreading the word through
social media to help locate Alison.
I will continue to communicate with law enforcement authorities
and I hope to have a better understanding regarding the
circumstances surrounding Alison's disappearance very soon.
I have learned that we have a tremendous community that offered
us an incredible amount of support. Sadly though, there is a great
deal of misinformation that has been posted online regarding Alison
and my family by a small number of people. I want to reiterate the
request made by Alison's attorney, Emily
Robinson, regarding those social media posts that contain
uninformed opinions, speculation, and hurtful comments about me and
my family. As Ms. Robinson stated, if you wish to help Alison, you
will stop posting about this matter.
Alison is a young girl and her feelings about my divorce from
her father are understandably complicated, but she has a family
(both my side and her dad's side) that loves and adores her. She is
incredibly talented, intelligent, and loving.
I will always do my best to protect Alison's interests, no
matter the circumstances and regardless of the stones that may be
thrown at me
Thank you again to all who assisted with finding Alison.
Sincerely,
Annie Chao
