UPDATED: Foster parents say sweatshirt not Hasanni's

Volunteer search teams thought they had found some important clues Sunday in the case of missing Hasanni Campbell after they discovered a sweatshirt, sock and piece of a blanket on a hillside at the end of Chabot Road.

The items were found a little more than one mile from the spot where Hasanni Campbell was reported missing 34 days ago. Police taped the area off as a potential crime scene.

Hasanni's foster parents arrived at the scene around 5:30 p.m. and quickly determined that the articles of clothing did not belong to the missing 5-year-old. Louis Ross and Jennifer Campbell said with confidence that the gray sweatshirt was the wrong brand. They said the sock and part of a blanket found were also not his.

Around 1 p.m. Oakland crime scene technicians were called in and the sweatshirt was photographed and tagged. On the day Hasanni went missing his foster fathers said he was wearing a gray sweatshirt and pants, and that is why the items got so much attention Sunday.

The sheriff's canine was given a whiff of the clothing and it took off in search of a scent, but it did not find one. Alameda County search and rescue dogs are also helping cover a nearby hillside by Highway 24 and Highway 13.

Louis Ross and Jennifer Campbell were arrested on suspicion of murder, but they were released because investigators could not find enough evidence to charge them. On Sunday their attorney John Burris explained that their relationship with the police and media has become very guarded since their release, which is why the couple made very few comments Sunday.

UPDATED: Hasanni Search Team Finds Possible Clue
Hasanni was reported missing August 10

A team of volunteers looking for little Hasanni Campbell found something that caused police to turn the end of a dirt road into a crime scene Sunday.

Sherri Miller, a virtual one-woman-crusade to find Hasanni, organized the search of the Rockridge neighborhood, Lake Temescal and Lake Merritt. She told reporters someone found a gray child's sweatshirt at the end of a dirt road late Sunday afternoon.

The volunteer called police who were close to the area at the time. Police immediately put up yellow tape. There is no way to know if the find is indeed connected to the missing child's case, but Hasanni was reportedly wearing a gray sweatshirt when he disappeared.

Campbell and Ross came to the scene late Sunday and police showed them the clothing, which also included a sock. Ross told reporters that the sweatshirt did not match the one his foster son was wearing. He said it was the wrong brand.

Police called off their official searches long ago, but Miller, a San Leandro business owner, took matters into her own hands and organized searches of her own. And she may have found the biggest piece of evidence yet in the case.

The clothing will now be tested for DNA.

Miller has printed thousands of fliers at her shop. She's also helped get together a Web site dedicated to the child: www.findhasanni.com.

She said even if people suspect the parents had something to do with his disappearance, "There's still a 5-year-old child who needs to be found."

Volunteer search teams found a gray sweat shirt they thought might have belonged to Hasanni Campbell, a 5-year-old boy who has been missing for more than a month.

But Hasanni's foster father, Louis Ross told reporters late Sunday that the clothing did not belong to the missing boy.

Hasanni Campbell was reported missing on Aug. 10 by Ross. Ross said the boy was wearing a gray sweat shirt at the time.

Oakland police Sgt. Arturo Bautista says the shirt was found buried at the end of a road in the Oakland hills Sunday.

Police were searching the area.

Found clothing not Hasanni's, foster dad says
Sunday, September 13, 2009

(09-13) 18:25 PDT OAKLAND -- Volunteers searching for missing Fremont 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell reported finding children's clothing in Oakland's Rockridge District today, less than a mile from where his foster father had reported him missing last month, authorities said.

But Hasanni's foster parents, Louis Ross and Jennifer Campbell, said the gray sweatshirt and a sock that were found at about 1:15 p.m. at the end of Chabot Road did not belong to the boy.

"It's not his," Ross told reporters while flanked by Campbell and the couple's legal adviser, Oakland attorney John Burris. "We buy his clothes. We know what he wears, so that was not his shirt. The sock was not his, either."

The discovery drew Oakland police crime scene investigators and Alameda County search dogs to the scene, which has been cordoned off by yellow tape.

Hasanni was reportedly wearing a gray sweatshirt when Ross reported him missing Aug. 10.

Before the couple's arrival at the scene, searchers girded for the possibility that the clothing belonged to Hasanni.

"We have no idea at this point if it's even connected to Hasanni," said Sherri-Lyn Miller, a San Leandro print-shop owner who has been organizing regular searches for the boy.

"Because it is similar, it's gray, it does appear to be small, we want to make sure - this is pretty close to the area where he was missing - we want to make sure that we analyze it and confirm," Oakland police Sgt. Arturo Bautista told reporters.

Foster Father: Sweat Shirt Is Not Hassani's
Posted: Sunday, 13 September 2009 5:46PM

Clothing found on Sunday that is similar to that worn by a missing 5-year-old boy with cerebral palsy does not belong to young Hassani Campbell, the boy's foster father said.

Volunteers searching for the youngster on Sunday found a small gray sweat shirt, a red sock, and clothes at the end of Chabot Road. They immediately contacted police who sent cadaver dogs to the dead end road.

The boy's foster father, Louis Ross, and his foster mother, Jennifer Campbell, arrived at the scene to examine the clothing. Ross told CBS-5 the sweat shirt was a different brand and did not belong to Hassani.

Every Sunday, hundreds of volunteers led by led by Sherri-Lyn Miller, who owns a printing business in San Lorenzo.

Police believe the boy was murdered and arrested the couple on homicide charges two weeks ago, only to release them for lack of evidence.

Ross and Campbell have maintained their innocence and say they are cooperating with police.

Miller said she would continue to organize vigils and searches until the case was closed.

Search for missing Fremont boy turns up suspicious sweatshirt
Posted: Monday, 14 September 2009 5:25AM

The search for a Fremont boy who police believe was murdered took a strange twist yesterday, when a group of volunteers looking for the boy discovered some discarded clothing just a mile away from where he was last seen.

The group discovered a gray sweatshirt, child's sock and a piece of a blanket on a hillside.

Police cordoned off the area and inspected the clothing, but say it doesn't appear to have been worn by 5-year-old Hassani Campbell.

Volunteers have been combing the area where Campbell's foster parents claim he went missing a month ago.

Kudos, and a check, for DHS
September 14, 2009
<snipped>
The state of Arkansas has received more than $800,000 for exceeding targets to find more adoptive homes for foster children, particularly some harder-to-place children. It outperformed a number of larger states, according to federal figures.

Children in foster care are more apt to be abused, neglected, raped, killed or go missing (just Google Hassani Campbell) than they are in their real homes. Now the states are offering to pay fosters even more money if they'll allow the child to stay in the home until age 21! See, that's the difference here. Fosters kick the kids out on their 18th birthday but their real parents would NEVER EVER EVER do that! They send them to college, when they can, help them move out on their own or let them stay home until such time as they can afford and emotionally handle living on their own.

Everyone wants to think that CPS is this benevolent, altruistic organization, saving all the abused and neglected children in the country but that is NOT what is going on here. I have personally talked with countless parents who tell me that on every visitation they have with their children that they're bruised, have stitches, severe diaper rashes, broken bones, are filthy, wearing clothes either way too small or way too big, and eat like they're starving to death. Some tell the parents that they've been sexually abused by someone in the foster home and when they report it to their case worker, they tell them to mind their own business.

Police To Analyze Clothes In Hasanni Campbell Case
Sep 14, 2009 9:05 pm US/Pacific
<snipped>
Oakland police spokesman Jeff Thomason said Monday that clothing found by volunteers searching for missing 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell doesn't appear to belong to him.

However, Thomason said investigators will do a lab analysis to try to determine if there is any connection between the clothing and Hasanni, who suffers from cerebral palsy and was reported missing from the parking lot of the Shuz of Rockridge shoe store in the 6000 block of College Ave. about 4:15 p.m. on Aug. 10 by his stepfather, Louis Ross.

Volunteers found a gray sweatshirt and a sock at the end of Chabot Road in Oakland about 1:10 p.m. on Sunday. The area is about a mile east from the spot where Ross reported last seeing him.

Thomason said the reason that investigators don't think the clothing belonged to Hasanni is that it appears to be the wrong size and Ross said it wasn't the same clothing that the boy wore.

Thomason said there haven't been any new tips in the case in recent weeks and police do not condone the private searches such as the one conducted on Sunday.

She said there also will be another candlelight vigil for Hasanni at 6:30 p.m. Monday outside the College Avenue Presbyterian Church at 5951 College Ave., which is across the street from the Shuz of Rockridge store. There's been a vigil in the area every Monday night since Hasanni disappeared.

The family of Hasanni Campbell privately commemorated his sixth birthday Thursday, while volunteers are organizing another search for the missing Fremont boy on Saturday.

Hasanni's grandmother, Pamela Clark, said the family "is just in seclusion" Thursday.

Sherri-Lyn Miller, a San Leandro print shop owner who has been organizing regular searches for Hasanni, had originally planned to hold an event for the boy, but it was called off out of respect to the family.

However, Miller said that organizers will be searching Coyote Hills Regional Park in Fremont starting at 8 a.m. Saturday.

The search of that area was originally scheduled for last week, but was canceled due to permit issues, Miller said.

Family Privately Commemorates Hasanni Campbell's Birthday, Volunteers Plan Search

Though it&#8217;s been over a month since Hasanni Campbell was reported missing, volunteers searching for him are still determined to find him.

Search organizer Sherri Miller tells KRON 4&#8217;s Haaziq Madyun they will not give up until he is found.

Hasanni would have turned 6-years-old on Thursday

Miller notes that Ross and Campbell have not participated in two previous searches for the boy and that she has not spoken with them since they were released from jail. She adds that frustration is growing regarding their lack of support, &#8220;It would certainly help if they were coming out and supporting our searches.&#8221;

Oakland police have no new tips in the case, and police spokesman Jeff Thomason says police do not condone the private searches.

Miller invites those wishing to join the search to call (510) 276-9090 or send an e-mail to findhasannigmail.com.

Volunteers will also be at the Rockridge Street Festival on Sunday, wearing T-shirts and passing out flyers with the goal of "getting his picture back out there," Miller said.

Event to help finance search for missing Fremont boy

By Kristin Bender
Oakland Tribune
Posted: 10/07/2009 04:00:00 PM PDT

OAKLAND — It's been nearly two months since Hasanni Campbell, a 5-year-old Fremont boy with cerebral palsy, was reported missing from behind a shoe store in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood.

And in those two months, the attention the case is getting has lessened significantly. The once-weekly vigils on Monday nights have turned into once-a-month gatherings at the request of his foster parents. An organized search for the boy hasn't been done since the last weekend in September.

And it's been 10 days since Hasanni has been mentioned in the local news, said Sherri Miller, the 40-year-old San Leandro woman who has been heading the searches and organizing the vigils. Earlier this week, Miller held a planning meeting for a Nov. 1 fundraising dinner at a Livermore winery. The turnout of volunteers was far lower than she expected.
