If this was more well planned and if he is smarter than I've imagined, he could have handed off his son to someone in LA, the last confirmed sighting of AA Jr was on the surveillance camera leaving Disneyland, and then went up to the lake and drove around to throw LE off the trail.
Rarely have I seen crimes planned out that well, but it is possible.
I want to believe he didn't kill his son and Ara Jr is alive and hidden with someone.
I can't see him hiding him in Solvang area, he would be too obvious, if he was taken to a city in another state, maybe they could get away with it.
But if he is hidden and alive, how does AA Sr think he will ever be able to see his son again? He would have to prefer someone raising his son without his presence over sharing custody with the child's mother.
>BBMI think he thought he could outsmart everyone by stating the boy was at the lake with him, all the while thinking they wouldn't a) find out from witnesses and cameras he wasn't and b) LE coming across evidence to show he was at other remote locations in the area. He also thought he could outsmart everyone by claiming he was knocked unconscious by an attack when a) he has no memory of one b) there are no physical signs or witnesses of one c) the <modsnip> pills combined with not having slept for 2 days straight could account for it.
Plus why why would he drive all the way to Santa Barbara if his plan was to say he was abducted at Arroyo park? Might as well get some sleep after Disneyland and spend the day in town then do the whole shinanigan at the park the following morning. That would seem less suspicious than spending an entire day at a lake plus very secluded roads and forests immediately following a very long day at Disneyland til 1am then driving all the way there.
As Judge Judy says, if it doesn't make sense, it's not true!
What I do agree with you is that it was extremely well planned and premeditated - a super fun day at the happiest place in the world with happy photo opps - what a nice guy he must be who has a great time with his kid surely he's innocent. Followed by a father son day at the lake (only problem the son wasn't with him). These are just my opinions and I'm praying little Jr. is found safe and alive.

I wonder why the car battery of AA Sr. required jumping. It could be an old battery or...maybe he used the light from his car to shine in the woods the night before.

Totally makes sense.I wonder why the car battery of AA Sr. required jumping. It could be an old battery or...maybe he used the light from his car to shine in the woods the night before.
So there is surveillance video of them leaving Disneyland at 1am and surveillance video of the father entering Cachuma lake grounds at 8am without the boy about 3 1/2 hour drive away. Mystery is what happened to the boy between point A and B during those unaccounted hours.
if his love for the boy is greater than his desire for his ex to suffer he will speak and recover the boy. But if that was the case he would never have gone missing in the first place.
Also from the article:Received a Google Alert this morning - thought I'd share.
Sherriff: Search for missing 5-year-old brought in new "areas of interest"
http://www.ksby.com/story/35638551/...g-5-year-old-brought-in-new-areas-of-interest
The sheriff's office says during the search, they found new areas of interest that they plan to cover in the near future. The search extended from Nojoqui Falls, Solvang to Lake Cachuma.
There were more than 235 personnel from So. Pasadena Police Dept., the Los Angeles County Fire dpet., and other search and rescue units from so. Calif.
Wonder if the Park Ranger gave them anything more - re "new areas of interest".
The timeline of when he was possibly driving those routes is confusing to me. Is this partial timeline accurate? (found here: https://findingmissingpersons.wordpress.com/2017/04/29/where-is-5-year-old-aramazd-andressian-jr/)The boy was last seen in the early morning hours of Friday, April 21, 2017, when he was in the custody of his father Aramazd Andressian Sr.
We should update this timeline with any new information, including details and actual times when we know them. Early in the investigation, we learned that AA Sr's silver BMW was seen in OC early Friday. I don't think Ara Jr. was seen with him for this sighting, and that sighting was BEFORE Lake Cachuma.
