I think that the "canal/river that runs under Ardenwood Blvd" to the East of the home on Roxie Terrace, is a railroad track.
ah yes, that is the canal on the way into union city. it is really large. I could see something happening there. I don't know that the water level is right now. It is usually pretty shallow. I have not heard of dogs in that area.
thre is an active railroad track bordering ardenwood farm backing up to Hampton Place
there is a much smaller canal next to Nordvik Park that was searched and runs under Ardenwood Blvd.
We were a foster family for about 20 years. Every state is different. Initially the Health Dept comes out and checks for hazards ,lead paint,proper sewage and water,etc.The fire dept comes once a year to check smoke detectors,fire escape plan and fire extinguisher in the kitchen.Anyone in the home 18 or older has fingerprints done,a SlED check[criminal record] and all occupants have a physical done.Many hours of training and home visits before approval. If a child is in your home the child's caseworker does a home visit once a month. Foster parents have to have ongoing training hours each year to keep their liscence.
As I said,all states are different and they may make exceptions for family members .I know there is a huge nationwide push to keep kids within the family if at all possible. Often you know in your heart it's not always a good place for them,but it's "Policy".
If it's the one on this map it's Alameda Creek
I didn't think she was involved at first, not to be rude but partially because she doesn't seem bright enough to be faking the emotions (the people at the scene said she was hysterical at the store). But after the text and the neighbor saying early on that Hasanni hasn't been around in a couple of weeks I really believe he injured Hasanni on or closer to the tenth. Jennifer's emotion and hysteria may have been because she realized he was dead at in the moments Ross said he was "gone".
I also think this could be the case because there is no one that says they saw him in those days leading up to the report AND because if Jennifer is not acting like a protective mother at all. If she was truly concerned for Hasanni she would have immediately told the police about the earlier fights, the text, the issues Ross had with Hasanni's disabilities in hopes that the police could find this child alive somewhere. Instead she clams up, won't take a LDT, and goes with the kidnapping story. That to me says the priority is CYA and not find the child.
Has Hasanni's bio mom surfaced at all for comment? Did I miss that?

I don't know if this has been brought up yet...but do we know for sure that they OWN this house? I know it says it was purchased in 2008 but do we know for sure it was the foster parents that bought it?
The reason I say this is that I reside in the Bay Area and a lot of people that bought houses in this time period have since ended up renting them out because they can not handle the house payment. For example, you have a $3500 house payment (crazy right!!! only in Cali!) and instead of not paying it and falling in to foreclosure, you move out, rent it out for say $1800 or $2000 and then you continue to just pay the difference. This would allow for you to keep your credit in good standings and also allow you to keep the house until (if ever) the market rebounds. Could the foster parents be renters?
I know this sounds crazy....but I've seen it done time and time here in California...especially in the Bay Area (where foreclosures are through the roof!) I just don't see how a family with two children (1 special needs and 1 toddler) can afford a $700k+ house payment with only one documented income and a late model BMW. Something is just not adding up about this!
Is there anyway to find out who is actually the deed holder or in some counties here in the Bay Area the person renting the house is required to get a business license to rent out their property! (again crazy, but its the county or city trying to generate funds). Any one know how to get this information?
I agree in theory; but if LR is capable of so much violence (and there's always that sword under the bed), I think she is too scared to do the right thing...she is afraid of him and trapped in the classic battered woman trap. She would have to get away from him first. It's her house (supposedly) so she would have to make him leave--that would not be easy. IMO
Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work and sleuthing! I think it looks very possible too.I think you're right :clap: and I know SoulScape is right. I really, really think we are on to something.:woohoo:
I agree with the dynamic you describe, but easy or not, scared or not, a child she supposedly loves is missing and she could have helped find him but put her own interests ahead of his. The police arresting Louis will move him right out the door. Of course I think she never should have offered to foster him if she lived in a violent home. Bad relationship or not, I hold her partially responsible for this.
Here's a site that says the house had an Open House on Aug 16 (2008) and it's status is "SOLD"

If those are his parents and there was any type of inheritance or extended family, I suppose that could explain the BMW and home, they seem pricey to me, but in CA, it might be average. For a guy who's not working though, it seems like a lot.
------------------------------GREAT NEWS EVERYONE! I emailed the Oakland Athletics baseball team on Wednesday in hopes of getting Hassani's information up on the Jumbotron. I just heard back from their Director of Community Relations, and she said that they are going to be putting Hassani's picture and information up over the next 3 home games!
