Volunteers renew search for Hasanni Campbell
Sunday, December 20, 2009
(12-19) 17:28 PST -- A group of 50 volunteers scoured the East Bay on Saturday, looking for signs of Hasanni Campbell, the 6-year-old boy with cerebral palsy who was last seen outside a shoe store in Oakland's Rockridge District on Aug. 10.
Pereda and Johnson said that as they taped a poster to a parking sign directly outside the couple's home, Ross appeared in the upstairs window and shouted, "You guys need to stay out of my yard."
Pereda, who has volunteered for four search parties to find Hasanni, said she was caught off- guard by Ross' behavior.
"You'd think he'd be more helpful and supportive," she said. "We're trying to find Hasanni."
Johnson, who like her daughter was dressed in a bright yellow "Search Team" T-shirt, added that she hopes Ross will notice all the new posters that line the streets of his neighborhood.
"He may think people have forgotten," she said, "but we haven't."
