CA - Hasanni Campbell, 5, Oakland, 10 Aug 2009 - #2

They should trace the calls. this might be the perp.

I was wondering that too. Why on earth would anyone, even an insane person, go to such lengths to jam up an investigation where a precious little child is missing?
The article did say that they had "contacted" the individual and told them to stop calling....

 

[elepher50]

Little man Hasanni - where are you little one? Time for a news conference for an update from LE as to how the search is going and any leads they are working on .... sitting here drumming my fingers.

Told them to stop calling???
Ummm, call me crazy, but I could have sworn there was a charge that they could use in situations like this.
Obstruction of justice?
Unlawful interuption of police business?
Hindering a law enforcement investigation?

For those more intreprid prosecutors,
Reckless endangerment
Attempting to willfully disregard the welfare of a child
Harassment


Nope, they'll just ask them politely to stop calling.

I was actually just watching the 10pm KTVU Channel 2 news and it is being reported that the foster dad has failed his polygraph test and is no longer doing interviews. I don't have a link to the report yet, but it is not looking good for poor Hassani. There was also a mention to the dog's not being able to pick up Hassani's scent in that driveway.

Praying for Hassani!

Hi! New here. I just saw an update on the news tonight(this story has been so backburner for a couple of days) The original search warrants were released.
One odd item. A sword or knife. The rest was DNA type samples.

Nothing was found.

There are more papers filed in court that have been sealed.

Here is the link

I just don't understand this case at all. The conflicting information seems to be the fault of early reports just repeated on different stations. Budget cuts have cut back newsrooms and there seems to be fewer people to follow up. But the facts have been so few and slow to surface. Locally we didn't hear anything publicly about a call for volunteers to search and very little before the vigil so it was poorly attended.

This is just not getting the coverage it needs.

A great local op-ed about that here (I'm in the area and went over there myself the first night to look after they shut down the search)

Looks like things are going about as expected from when we first heard of Hasanni. Hate to have become so cynical.

Police sought "sword or cutting instrument" in search of missing boy's home, foster father's car

OAKLAND — A search warrant issued the day after Hasanni Campbell was reported missing shows that police were looking for a "sword or cutting instrument" and biological evidence from the 5-year-old boy in his foster parents' home.

The search warrant, issued at 5:45 a.m. Aug. 11 in Alameda County, was for the home on Roxie Terrace in Fremont, where the boy lives with his foster parents, Jennifer Campbell, 30, and Louis Ross, 38. The warrant was also for Ross' 2002 BMW.

Police recovered a pair of latex gloves, eight DNA swabs and four fingerprint lifts from the car but took nothing from the home, authorities confirmed Wednesday. It was unclear why investigators were looking for a sword or cutting instrument.

Appreciate the update! no surprise on my part he didn't pass that LTD. Wasn't it Ross who told us he passed - nothing he says is the truth. I wish he would quit wasting LE's time and just tell them where he put the body. what a loser he is! mho

Law Encyclopedia: Indicia
Home > Library > Law & Legal Issues > Law Encyclopedia
This entry contains information applicable to United States law only.

Signs; indications. Circumstances that point to the existence of a given fact as probable, but not certain. For example, indicia of partnership are any circumstances which would induce the belief that a given person was in reality, though not technically, a member of a given firm.

The term is much used in civil law in a sense nearly or entirely synonymous with circumstantial evidence. It denotes facts that give rise to inferences, rather than the inferences themselves.

Above is the legal definition for the word indicia... Indicia in the name of Louis Ross was on the search warrant...but nothing was taken from the home. Does that mean that there is nothing in a sense that really confirms his identity? Legal jargon still trips me up sometimes.

Even with his profession, the one pair of latex gloves taken from the BMW seem a little ominous to me. I can't help but think of gloves and swords and have not have my mind jump to cutting things into little pieces.

Now why am I not surprised Ross failed his polygraph? Some of us thought from the beginning that Ross was not being truthful because of his changing stories.

There is something really strange going on with this guy. Identity theft, scams, fraud, or drug dealing, IMO. My guess is that he has been in federal prison in the past. There is no way we can find past inmate records unless it is a paid background check on this name. Federal prisons are all over the U.S., and he could have been released from one in California. Federal inmates are shipped all over the country. I think LE and FBI has found out about a very sordid past concerning LWR.

I had posted that there was a S.O. in Maryland by the last name of Ross, II. He is 20 years old. Ross may be a common last name, but how many do we see with II, or III tacked onto their last name? AND in the state of Maryland? I think it possible that the S.O. in Maryland is related to this Ross. AND the two do favor. Even that is neither here nor there and doesn't prove anything, but it is odd.

I am so looking forward to the mystery being solved of just WHO this guy really is. Even more than that, I am looking forward to finding out just what happened to Hasanni and when. As far as I am concerned, Ross is clearly lying about Hasanni. If this harmed little Hasanni, I want him to fry. I pray that little Hasanni is found alive, but it is not looking good and really hasn't from the beginning.

Sorry, sasrahsgsr - just jumping off of your post! I am just so very frustrated and angry!

Actually, this site from the Federal Bureau of Prisons will locate any federal inmate incarcerated from 1982 to present. I don't find a Louis Ross on there.

Thanks, STEADFAST!

Ok, then. I would guess that Louis Ross, III is not this guys real name.

I would love to know what is in the sealed documents!

ETA: Thanks, STEADFAST. I was not aware that past federal inmates could be looked up. I was wrong!

If he was incarcerated, they must know it by now because of fingerprints.

 

[Kat]

He failed the LDT.

He got on national tv and got angry but yet he failed the LDT.

A search warrant for a sword (WTH?) or cutting intstrument? Judges don't usually sign off on search warrants unless you give them a very good reason to even in a missing child case. IMHO.

This son of a ____ needs to shut up and tell where he put Hassani. I"m pizzed now.
Sorry for the rant.

 

[LaLaw2000]

Oh, I am sure that LE ran both Ross and Melissa's name for background! I think that LE/FBI knows all about both of them by now.

IMO, there is just something very, very strange about this guy.

Clipped from post #447 - Why a duck...

bolded by me

Wonder how far he is in the Medical Assistants program? It scares me to think of why he wanted to take such classes. Ross doesn't seem like the kind of guy to buy latex gloves - do you think he got them from his school?

something about this guy is deep, dark, sick...he belongs behind bars forever. MHO

Sorry, I just have a question for clarification. Do medical assistants actually handle patients like this in the US? Aside from probably knowing CPR, I mean? I thought they handled records and billing, etc.

I should likely just google this...

ETA: OK, in some states they also draw blood and other tasks, it seems.

[not_my_kids]

Do we have anyone who has actually taken law or even prelaw?
I really want to know what the definition of "incindia" is when used on a search warrant.
I keep coming up with the same definition I posted, which is about as clear as mud. TIA.

 

[Shutterfly]

I just wanted to make sure you guys saw this..it says he (Ross) failed the LDT...and that TWO witnesses say they saw Hasanni in the car on August 10th.

by 'patients like this' do you mean children with MS? If so - children with MS usually see specialists such as neurologists, ortho docs, pediatric specialists in MS etc. MS children require special care because of their numerous medical anomalies...over half have seizure disorders, and almost all are on antispasmodic meds., and an array of other medications that require oversight. Physical Therapists are highly involved with these children. A pediatric specialist in MS would have nurses and medical assistants specially trained in the area of MS disease state. I am sure the state of California affords these children the very best of treatment. I can't imagine this child living long without his medications, treatment, and continuous assessment.

The Pediatric Specialists and specialty nurses in the arena of MS are dedicated, caring, empathic and extremely knowledgeable...I can't imagine Ross ever, ever, fitting in. mho
