Yeah, that question bothered me too - but we can see from this story that dad might have been in the habit of taking baby with him and not Hassani.
Just a thought.
I thought I'd read that both were left in the car while at the scrap yard but maybe that is not true.
Hi Noway! College Ave is really, really busy and double-parking would create an extreme inconvenience to other cars trying to use the street. It could even be dangerous if those inconvenienced got angry about it. Especially with two little kids in tow!!
Just my opinion...
:crazy::woohoo:Think I finally got it - take a look:
By George, I think you've GOT IT!!!! :woohoo:
Thank you! The photo didn't seem to have a lot of traffic but I'm not sure when the photo was taken.
WTF? This comes from a news article AWC posted on the info thread....post #33.
"Law enforcement sources say Ross reported taking the boy with him earlier that day to the Hayward Pick Your Part auto salvage yard.
The trip was unusual, authorities said, because even though Ross said he was looking for a particular part, witnesses told authorities that he had left without getting out of the car to look for it."

Hey, Ross is getting a little testy...

"Ross has been questioned by police and given a lie detector test. On Monday, Ross angrily addressed speculation that he might be involved in the disappearance of his foster son.
"'Oh, they were foster parents. Did they really care?' Well, you go talk to social services, said Ross. You wanna find the record straight? You go to them and ask them why they placed them with us. Because we gave a damn! These were our children. Don't try to take that from us. This wasn't a situation where we didn't care about those children. We've fought every inch for both of them."
Hasanni's foster family is also grappling with the loss of their one year-old foster daughter who has been removed from their care.
"All we want is our children home. We want Hasanni found and Aaliyah with us," said the boys foster mother Campbell."
That just doesn't make good sense does it?
Or maybe he got there and the thought of getting out with a 5 yo and an 18 mo was too much? I've felt that way at Wal-mart. The whole facing the crowd and cranky 3 yo and 10 yo and I've turned around and gone home, planning to make a late-night run by myself.
But I wonder why there are different versions of what happened. The truth is not this hard. Or it shouldn't be.
Weird. I had been looking for the article I'd read that said both kids were left in the car, and read comments on another board that said he hadn't left the car and was looking for the news report they were talking about.
Found lots of articles but not any that specifically said he'd left BOTH kids in the car. And now it appears that he didn't get out either?
Can you drive around in this salvage yard? If the part was small (what was the particular part I wonder?) you'd never know whether they had it ...
My head is spinning. Right now I actually believe the foster parents.
Do we know how often the children were dropped off there? Was it regularly on Mondays? It's hard to imagine that someone was there at the right time to snatch Hassani unless they regularly saw him being dropped off there.
IIRC the foster dad said he was earlier because he had a meeting, so if someone was expecting him around 5, would they be there, and if they were there, then do they live around there?
lol at you and me Columbo!
