Found Deceased AZ - Isabel Mercedes Celis, 6, Tucson, 20 April 2012 - # 1

[nursebeeme]

"She hasn't been allowed to help look for her daughter," Littlehorn said of Becky Celis.

Littlehorn has worked with Becky Celis as a registered nurse at Tucson Medical Center for five years. She said Isabel, whose nickname is Isa, loved to play baseball and dance; the girl was supposed to play in a baseball game Saturday.

"She's just the sweetest, she is feisty, she's full of life and spirit," Littlehorn said.

She said Becky Celis is a registered nurse in the pediatrics unit and Sergio Celis is a dental hygienist. There's no way anyone in the family is involved in the disappearance, she said.

"We all feel this is somebody who's been watching 'Isa' for some amount of time to know where her bedroom is," Littlehorn said.

Investigators found "suspicious circumstances around a possible entry point" at the home of a 6-year-old Arizona girl whose disappearance has prompted a massive search, with more than 150 law enforcement officers trying to figure out whether she was abducted, a police spokeswoman said Sunday.
Tucson police Sgt. Maria Hawke wouldn't comment Sunday on whether the entry point was a bedroom window or a door. But family friend Mary Littlehorn said she heard from others close to the family that a window screen in the girl's bedroom had been knocked down.

Pacheco wouldn't comment on the suspicious "entry point," saying: "I don't want to compromise anything."

Can I ask for a really quick recap? I'm trying to catch up but I'm 17 pages behind. I saw this on Facebook, but there's a lot of updated articles that don't cover it from the beginning. I've caught that she's 6 years old and her parents both live in the house, IIRC, and she's surrounded by RSO's, but not much else. Help a sleuther out, LOL. TIA.

Do we have a good photo of the house to determine how high the windows are in the house from the ground and where Isabel's bedroom is located? TIA

That is about all there is to know now.

She was there with her family. Her mother, father and two brothers.

Her mom is a nurse and her dad is a dental hygeniest.

Screen off of her bedroom window.

Window was up during the night. Probably due to the warm weather.

IMO

I am not sure but the police immediately blocked off the area around her home and still have about a couple of blocks cordoned off.

So I dont know if they are letting the media get that close?

IMO

Specially trained dogs from the FBI in Virginia were brought in to the investigation Sunday night.

Police Chief Roberto Villasenor says the dogs hit on something, but would not say what.

Investigators have asked the family to leave the home during this part of the investigation.

Chief Villasenor said Monday morning the child's window was open and the screen removed.

I'm sure we're all wondering what kind of dogs.

I know it happens, but when a child was last seen at bedtime and not there in the morning, I can't help but question those in the home.

There have been way too many cases where "s/he was there when I put her/him to bed..."

Just too bizarre!

Detectives are looking at that as a possible suspicious point of entry.

point of entry (not exit) is important to note imhoo

The dogs, according to the KVOA reporter on Live News KVOA, the dogs are "search and rescue" dogs . (No link to report as I watched it Live Stream)
