While on the phone with her friends on March 7, 2022, at 11:30 p.m., they were able to hear a car engine, a car door closing, a struggle between Dessalines and a man, in which Dessalines was heard saying, “Okay, okay, I’ll get in.”
Later that night in a very short voice message, Dessalines was heard sobbing saying, “I don’t want to die,” while a man’s voice yelled “shut up,” in the background multiple times. At 12:30 a.m., a case was filed with the San Francisco Police Department through Officer Samcon Hung, who did the initial intake and missing persons report in San Francisco.
Dessalines’ last location was pinged on March 8, 2022, at 4:19 p.m., traveling in an unknown direction on the 880 freeway.
