2 a.m.: Officers in Mountain View - about 30 miles (48 kilometers) from YouTube's headquarters - found Aghdam sleeping in her car in a parking lot. She told officers she left home because she was having issues with her family and was looking for a job. Police say she was asked a series of questions during a 20-minute interaction and "at no point" mentioned anything about YouTube.
Police described her in the post as "calm and cooperative" throughout the interaction. Aghdam didn't appear to be a threat to herself or others, police spokeswoman Katie Nelson said.
