Missing Baby Gabriel Still Alive, PI Says
Baby Gabriel Victim Of Illegal Adoption, Ken Gamble Says

POSTED: 1:49 pm MST April 1,2010
UPDATED: 2:50 pm MST April 1,2010
<snipped>
Missing baby Gabriel Johnson is alive and probably the victim of an illegal adoption, according to a private investigator hired by the boy's father. "I do believe he is alive because I do believe the meeting here occurred," Gamble said. "I believe a third party is involved. This is what the evidence is suggesting."

Gamble said he thinks the third party set up the meeting where Johnson gave Gabriel to the couple. Gamble said the mystery couple probably knew the adoption was illegal.

"It's very unlikely that the couple don't know what's going on," he said. "They just have very strong beliefs about the child." It's unlikely that Gabriel is still in San Antonio, Gamble said. The couple probably drove to Texas to pick up the baby.

Johnson has cooperated with authorities, Gamble said. "She's made full admissions to police," he said. "At this stage, some of that information we can't discuss because it's still under investigation."

Gamble also said he's waiting for more information, including records and subpoenaed documents, but he's "very confident we can find out who was involved."

"Someone out there knows," Gamble said. "Someone has enabled these people. Someone must realize that these people have taken in a baby recently."

UPDATED: New Leads In Baby Gabriel Case
Elizabeth Johnson Kept Journal While On The Run

POSTED: 11:02 pm MST April 1,2010
UPDATED: 9:49 am MST April 2,2010
<snipped>
When Elizabeth Johnson&#8217;s refused to tell a judge what she did with her missing boy at a custody hearing last week, Gabriel&#8217;s father was sitting just feet away, seeing his ex-girlfriend for the first time in months. Every one of her denials was maddening to Logan McQueary. And Johnson refused to look him in the eye. &#8220;I wanted Elizabeth to tell the truth when my lawyer questioned her and, when the judge questioned her again. It looked like she really wanted to talk and I was just wishing that she would,&#8221; said McQueary.

But what he couldn&#8217;t get from her testimony, his private investigator has now found in the journal Johnson kept while on the run. She left written directions to Raymond Rimkus park on the morning of Dec. 27. McQueary said they have evidence a third party arranged for Elizabeth to meet someone at a park bench at 10 a.m. that morning, and hand the boy off to a couple she&#8217;d never met.

&#8220;I know he&#8217;s out there and he&#8217;s alive and he got handed off to a couple and we pretty much believe we know who they are,&#8221; said McQueary.

That&#8217;s why Thursday, McQueary&#8217;s private investigator met with the San Antonio Police Department and gave authorities every bit of evidence they have gathered. &#8220;I think we opened up their eyes a little bit more. I think we did point them in the right direction today,&#8221; said McQueary.

The FBI has even come forward, telling McQueary they want to do more to help in the search. But unless the San Antonio Police Department changes the case from a homicide to missing persons, the FBI can&#8217;t even open a case file. &#8220;We&#8217;re really close. Closer than we&#8217;ve ever been,&#8221; said McQueary.

If the San Antonio Police Department changes the classification of the case, McQueary wouldn't have to count on the whim of the woman behind bars. With more resources, McQueary truly believes they will soon find Gabriel on their own.

&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t matter to me how much time she gets or how little time she gets. She can go along with her life and I can go along with mine. As long as I have Gabriel. That&#8217;s all I want,&#8221; said McQueary.

Mom of missing Tempe baby in trouble for assaulting inmates
Last Update: 3:23 pm
<snipped>
The mother of an Arizona baby missing since December was placed in a Phoenix jail's psychiatric unit for evaluation after officials say she assaulted two fellow inmates and claimed a disciplinary food regime was starving her.

Jailers say they placed 23-year-old Elizabeth Johnson on their so-called nutra-loaf program after she was accused of the assaults. The loaves consist of dry milk powder, fruits and vegetables, chili powder, and bread dough compacted into a solid brick-like form; they are served to inmates twice a day.

Sheriff's officials say Johnson gave them a will she wrote after being put on the program, claiming that she is starving and refuses to eat the loaves because they're "full of rotten vegetables and worms."

Maricopa County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Brian Lee said her diet program was changed from the standard sack lunch in the morning and hot meal in the evening after she became "a management issue." According to Lee, in one case Johnson threw Windex into a fellow inmate's eye. It is unclear what happened in the second alleged assault.

Johnson having management problems in jail; sent to psychiatric facility
Posted on April 12, 2010 at 2:50 PM
Updated today at 2:54 PM
<snipped>
Sheriff Joe Arpaio had recently indicated in local and national interviews that Johnson was a model inmate and had not created any problems while in jail.

Within the last week Johnson has reportedly been placed on the sheriff&#8217;s &#8216;nutra-loaf program&#8217; where the inmate eats only bread and water for allegedly assaulting two other inmates.

A spokesperson with the sheriff&#8217;s office says Jonson submitted a document titled &#8220;My Advanced Directive&#8217;s Will&#8221; to staff after being on the nutra-loaf program for several days. In the document Johnson says she refuses to eat the bread because she says it is full of rotten vegetables and worms.

Johnson&#8217;s letter prompted detention officers to transfer her to the jail&#8217;s psychiatric unit facility where she could be evaluated.

Missing kid's mom complains of jail starvation

The mother of missing 10-month-old Gabriel Johnson has been transferred to the Maricopa County Jail&#8217;s psychiatric unit so her mental state can be evaluated after she complained that she is starving.

Elizabeth Johnson, 23, of Tempe, who allegedly assaulted two inmates last week, is refusing to eat Sheriff Joe Arpaio&#8217;s &#8220;nutra-loaf&#8221; diet, consisting of bread and water, non-fat dry milk, fruit and vegetables, chili powder and bread dough, the sheriff&#8217;s office reported Monday.

Johnson complained that the vegetables were rotten and had worms in it, according to a document she submitted to deputies titled &#8220;My Advanced Directive&#8217;s Will.".

MCSO: Baby Gabriel Mom Assaulted Inmates
Elizabeth Johnson Sent To Psychiatric Unit

POSTED: 3:06 pm MST April 12, 2010
UPDATED: 3:34 pm MST April 12, 2010
<snipped>
Arpaio recently had said during media interviews that Johnson was a model inmate who had not created any problems.

Within the last week, however, Johnson was placed on Arpaio's controversial nutra-loaf program -- commonly referred to bread and water.

The loaves consist of nonfat dry milk powder, an assortment of fruits and vegetables, chili powder, and bread dough compacted into a brick-like loaf. The program gives inmates two loaves a day in isolation, rather than providing two regular meals consisting of a sack lunch in the morning and a hot meal in the evening.

The loaf program faced legal challenge in the case Bugoni vs. Coffman, which claimed it was unconstitutional punishment; however, when the federal judge granted summary judgment in favor of the Sheriff's Office on Friday, the issue was dismissed.

Arpaio said he started the loaf program 10 years ago as a means to prevent inmates from assaulting detention officers and other inmates. "I will not tolerate prisoners abusing my officers and other inmates by throwing urine, feces or assaulting them," Arpaio said. "For that type of behavior, they will go on bread and water."

Baby Gabriel's Mom Taken to MCSO Psychiatric Unit After Complaining About Sheriff's Controversial "Loaf Program"
Monday, Apr. 12 2010 @ 3:59PM
<snipped>
Elizabeth Johnson, the mother of missing baby Gabriel Johnson, apparently wasn't playing too nice with some of the other Maricopa County jail inmates, and as a result, has been sent to the jail's psychiatric ward after refusing to eat some of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's "loaf."

Arpaio says in the press release, "I will not tolerate prisoners abusing my officers or other inmates by throwing urine, feces, or assaulting them. For that type of behavior they will go on bread and water."

You may be asking yourself, "What the hell is loaf, and why would the sheriff think anyone would eat it?"

"Loaf," according to the MCSO, is nonfat, dry milk powder, an assortment of fruits and vegetables, chili powder, and bread dough all compacted into one solid brick-like loaf.

Yum.

Mother of missing Ariz. baby placed in psych unit
April 12, 2010, 6:10PM
<snipped>
The mother of an Arizona baby missing since December was placed in a Phoenix jail's psychiatric unit for evaluation after she claimed a disciplinary food regime was starving her and allegedly assaulted two fellow inmates, officials said Monday. Elizabeth Johnson, 23, was placed on the so-called nutra-loaf program Friday as punishment after she was accused of assaulting two female inmates by spraying them with window cleaner on Thursday. They were not injured.

Arpaio said Johnson gave jail officials a will she wrote after being put on the program, claiming that she was starving. She said she refused to eat the loaves because they're "full of rotten vegetables and worms."

He said Johnson also wrote that she doesn't want to donate her organs and that she wants to be cremated and buried next to her mother's grave. That prompted her jailers to place her in the psychiatric unit on Saturday to be evaluated. She remained in the unit Monday and was being fed normal jail food.

"She was a model inmate, but evidently maybe the jail conditions have gotten to her," said Arpaio, who calls himself America's toughest sheriff. "I don't know what her agenda is," Arpaio said. "Maybe her conscience has gotten to her, but she sure doesn't like being incarcerated in our jail."

Tammi Smith, a north Scottsdale woman who wanted to adopt Gabriel from Johnson, also is charged in the case, although police said she was not connected to the boy's disappearance. Smith has pleaded not guilty to charges of felony forgery and conspiracy to commit custodial interference.

Both women were scheduled for court hearings on Friday.

Missing Baby's Mom Goes on Hunger Strike
Read Elizabeth Johnson's will

Updated: Monday, 12 Apr 2010, 7:17 PM MDT

<snipped>
23-year-old Elizabeth Johnson, the woman imprisoned for kidnapping her son Gabriel and refusing to tell police where he is, has gone on a hunger strike and written a will to prepare for her death.

My Advanced Directive & Will (dated 4/9/2010)
I am writing my advanced directive and will because I am incarcerated in Estrella jail and they are starving me and serving rotten food with worms in it. I haven't eaten in over 7 days and barely can write this. The water&#8230; makes us sick. I feel they will let me starve to death rather than feeding me safe, edible food. I don't want an autopsy, I do not wish to donate any organs/body parts. That is against my religion. I wish my grandmother be contacted [phone number] only. I wish to be cremated right away, put in a box not an urn and brought to mass to be buried above my mother's grave. I know my grandmother Sylvia [last name] will arrange this for me. White lilies for me is all. I don't think I'll have time to have my lawyer notarize this because I am starving and so weak and dehydrated so I will put a tank order in for a notary. I love you Marzzy. I am sorry be happy for us.
Sincerely, Elizabeth Johnson

MCSO: Baby Gabriel Mom Assaulted Inmates
Elizabeth Johnson Sent To Psychiatric Unit

POSTED: 3:06 pm MST April 12, 2010
UPDATED: 11:33 am MST April 13, 2010
<snipped>
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said Elizabeth Johnson, the mother of still-missing Baby Gabriel, has become a management problem and was relocated to the psychiatric unit facility after assaulting two inmates.

&#8220;She took some cleaning material -- spray -- and sprayed two fellow inmates, female of course, in their eyes," said Arpaio.

Within the last week, however, Johnson was placed on Arpaio's controversial nutra-loaf program -- commonly referred to bread and water.

The loaves consist of nonfat dry milk powder, an assortment of fruits and vegetables, chili powder, and bread dough compacted into a brick-like loaf. The program gives inmates two loaves a day in isolation, rather than providing two regular meals consisting of a sack lunch in the morning and a hot meal in the evening.

Arpaio admitted the loaves were not very appealing, but insisted they were edible and provided nutritional value.

"I don't see any worms in there but it's hard to tell, you know. Quite frankly, I don't know that I'd eat this,&#8221; said Arpaio.

Police say she assaulted two female inmates at the Maricopa County Jail, and surveillance video of the incident has been released.

Video from April 3 apparently shows Elizabeth Johnson grab a bottle of cleaning solution and spray another inmate in the face. The tape shows Johnson then walk towards a second inmate and again spray her with cleaning fluid.

Johnson has been in jail since January, charged with kidnapping. But she refuses to make statements regarding Gabriel's whereabouts. There are signs the stress of the trial and the months in jail are taking a toll on Johnson. She denies the assault accusations.

The police report says: "The other inmates in the pod were threatening her and making comments such as beating her [expletive] at recreation."

Johnson was placed in the jail's psychiatric ward. She was also refusing the eat Sheriff Arpaio's so-called Nutra-Loaf, made up of water, bread, powdered milk, vegetables, fruit, and chili powder.

Baby Gabriel among 11 E.V. kids who vanished
April 27, 2010 - 11:38AM
<snipped>
It&#8217;s been four months since the disappearance of Baby Gabriel first captured the attention of the Valley and the nation. There are six missing children from Tempe and five from Mesa, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children based in Virginia. Some of them have been missing so long they would now be adults if they are alive. They are among 64 missing children from Arizona alone, according to the center, which lists such cases on its website, www.missingkids.com.

Keeping their story alive
Sisters Jackie Leslie, 13, and Cynthia Leslie, 15, disappeared within a three-block area while walking along Baseline Road near Power Road from their east Mesa home on July 31, 1974. They were on their way to a party. &#8220;There&#8217;s never a day that I don&#8217;t say a prayer where I&#8217;ll find out what happened to my daughters,&#8221; said Erma Prue, 78, who now lives in Henderson, Nev., to be close to her oldest daughter, her only other child. &#8220;You never give up hope.&#8221;

There were conflicting statements as to whether the sisters attended the party. Some people questioned by police said they did; others said they stopped by briefly and left. &#8220;I believe they got in with the wrong crowd,&#8221; Prue said. Although no remains were ever found, the case is considered a homicide because of outstanding suspicious circumstances.


&#8216;We never want to give up&#8217;
Since it formed in 1986 with the help of &#8220;America&#8217;s Most Wanted&#8221; television personality John Walsh, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has recovered hundreds of children and returned them to their families, according to Bob Lowery Jr., executive director of the center&#8217;s missing children&#8217;s division. Acting on a firm belief that someone out there knows what happened in each incident and that time is the enemy of a missing children&#8217;s case, the center follows a case until it is known what happened to that child. But even then, some cases are never solved.

This year marked 11 years since Mikelle Biggs, 11, of Mesa, disappeared in a high-profile case that received national attention. Mikelle was last seen riding her bicycle near her home on Jan. 2, 1999.

Regardless of the circumstances, when a child is missing, parents hold onto hope for a long time that their family will be reunited, or that they will at least finally have answers. Nearly 36 years since her daughters vanished, Prue believes the truth is out there and that she will find it. &#8220;The only thing I can tell parents of missing children is that they have to trust God, and have faith in him &#8212; I know I do,&#8221; she said. &#8220;That&#8217;s what has kept me going.&#8221;
