On Saturday, family members continued their frantic search for Valenti, who, apparently, suffered a manic episode earlier this week, speaking in a series of strange phone calls from Erin that said
“everything is a game , it is a thought experiment, we are in the MATRIX or matrix. This is not a film !! ” Her husband said he didn’t have a history of mental illness and that his phone calls were very curious. The young woman, with thick blond hair to her waist, was driving a gray Nissan Murano but hadn’t used the phone or credit cards since Monday. Her mother, Whitey Valenti, flew to San Jose from New York with her husband and two children to join the search with her daughter’s husband. He described Erin as an intense and brilliant young woman who graduated from Georgetown University’s Summa Cum Laude in business administration before entering the world of private capital. Erin Valenti was the founder and executive director of Tinker Ventures, an application design and development company, where she managed a global team of 120 employees at the Salt Lake City and Pakistan offices. Before forming Tinker, she was director of product development at Overstock.com, where she oversaw a team of 250 engineers. Valenti, who lived in Salt Lake City with her husband, was also an excellent climber and skier. Nothing seemed to be wrong until he called his parents around 3.30pm on Monday after meeting a former colleague on Sand Hill Road and saying he couldn’t find his rental car. Once she found the car, she stayed on the phone with her parents, her conversation became strange. Erin had missed her flight Monday night and had to leave San Jose International Airport to attend a ceremony Tuesday in Utah, where she hoped to receive a “women in technology” award. “We talked to her for hours”, Monday night, her mother said. “My thoughts are disconnected. I would say that I will be back home for Thanksgiving, Mom … we are in the Matrix “, a reference to a science fiction movie about a virtual reality world.
The parents had participated in Erin’s research. Attempts to locate it using the “find my phone” applications and other digital search tools were unsuccessful. Not even with a drone had they managed to find it. During phone calls with family members on Monday night, Valenti said he had little gas. With a family request, a San José police officer contacted Valenti by telephone Monday night. “The officer said it made no sense. They went around looking for her Monday night and they never found her, “said Valenti’s husband Harrison Weinstein. During their trip to California the week of October 1, the couple spoke every night, said one He was at the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Beach for a workshop on executive leadership called “Create the Powerful”, and on Thursday he flew to San Jose and hired Nissan He conducted a technology conference in Monterey on the weekends before to return to the Bay Area last weekend to meet with old friends and colleagues, Erin’s husband, Weinstein, is a psychologist and said that his wife left the Nest hotel in Palo Alto on Monday afternoon. never a story of something like that, no mental health diagnosis, no hospitalization, no substance use, no arrest, clean in everything, clearer than that What he said before he died is very strange, Matrix rlava.
