CA-Sandra Cantu, 8 missing 3/27/09 from Tracy,#1

[Tonia]

On Nancy they just said polographs have been administered but they did not say who took them of the two men.

 

[Tonia]

LP is offering 10,000 for the reward in addition to the 7,000=17,000$

 

[Tonia]

An attorney says that he will represent the perp that has done anything now or in the past free of charge for any information on Sandra but only if she is returned alive.

Just a correction- he said only if they returned her safely.

:rose: praying for Sandra

I hope that someone mentions TM to Sandra's mom too...good to hear LP is offering a reward and DH is offering representation under the conditions of her safe return. I pray that she is returned, safely, soon.

Was it Daniel Horowitz? I thought I heard him say it on NG tonight but was in the car and couldn't rewind!

I'm so glad to hear that LP has thrown in some reward money. Hopefully that will get someone talking.

TM needs to get involved in this one asap.

Yes you are correct.

I haven't caught up on the thread yet - but I'm coming to tell you that Dan Harowitz is my new HERO! Bless his heart, what an offer! If who ever took her is scared, maybe he will see this as his way out and Sandra can come home alive.

And of course LP is my hero. I love the way he offers those rewards - bring her home by such and such a date and you can have the money - BUT I'm not gonna mess around with you. You need to bring her home NOW! Bless LP's heart!

Sandra - we are all praying you come home soon!

this article says a total of four cars were seized. It also states that a person came up to a reporter and said Sandra's father had cashed a check and fled to mexico???

One man approached reporters and told them that he had information on the investigation, and claimed that Sandra Cantu's father had cashed a check and traveled to Mexico overnight.

Officers questioned the man immediately afterwards. "We have no reason at this time to believe that [Sandra is] in Mexico," said Lt. Jeremy Watney of the Tracy Police Department, but added, "As with every lead, we are going to follow up."

That man gives me the creeps. Not one man ever kissed my girls on the LIPS because he was trying to be nice :furious: If that had ever happened and I was told about it that guy better hope he can run faster then me. Sounds like a pervert to me. Old men do NOT go around kissing little girls on the mouth. I'm glad LE are searching everything he owns.

I agree and hope they are also checking his computer. Why would a small girl ask if he needed help with small "jobs"... Was he paying her for the help. If any old geezer or younger man ever kissed my girls on the lips, especially in a swimming pool he would be very sorry, martial arts instructor or not. That is not appropriate, and if he has done nothing at all ever other than the kiss just look how his inappropriate actions have held up the investigation or taken investigators time that could have been spent looking elsewhere.

They may not have been home if she arrived there?
^i^

They said they can't confirm if she ever made it to the second friends house. I wonder why not? Where are these people. Alot of questions not really being answered. I think there is more that they are not telling.

Other elements of the investigation were obtained during the past couple of days.
Cadaver dogs picked up scents in rural areas north of Tracy, police said, but nothing was found.
Registered sex offenders in the area - none of whom live in the trailer park, according to the state Megan's Law Web site - have been interviewed. Surveillance video at nearby motels showed nothing, police said.
Lie detector tests have been administered to unidentified people.
Authorities say no one - including family members - has been ruled out as a suspect.
The sensational case has drawn a legion of media outlets all chasing their own leads.
The case is attracting offers from television regulars.
Defense attorney Daniel Horowitz, a frequent personality on cable news shows, said he will represent, free of charge, anyone who gets Sandra home alive.
Sacramento bounty hunter Leonard Padilla, fresh from involvement in another high-profile missing-child case - the Caylee Anthony case in Florida - said he is offering a $10,000 reward for Sandra's safe return.

Tracy community comes together for missing child

http://tracypress.com/content/view/17679/2244/

(snip)

We have to hand it to all the people who have devoted nearly every waking hour to finding Sandra — in addition to the police department and search-and-rescue crews.
Here are just a few:
• Lisa Encarncion, who has volunteered to be the family’s spokeswoman, having never met them before Friday. Her 16-year-old son died in a dirt bike accident six years ago, and she’s learned to heal her own grief by helping others.
• Ken Silligman and the Community Emergency Response Team, which has coordinated search efforts. After two years of training, the 75-member, all-volunteer team was activated this weekend to coordinate search efforts.
• Countless groups and individuals, like 22-year-old Mark Correa and his parents, Jose and Kelly Correa, who printed fliers and took them door-to-door, papering the town.​

• Gina Schnabel and her friends, who are holding out money jars and selling T-shirts with Sandra’s photo outside Wal-Mart and FoodMaxx. So far, they’ve collected more than $1,600 that will go to a reward fund.

Why do they do it? As Schnabel says, "This is our community. This is our child. This is what a small town is all about."​

Police and the FBI are working around the clock in the hopes of finding 8-year-old Sandra Cantu who was last seen at a Tracy mobile home park Friday afternoon.

Around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, KRON 4’s Terisa Estacio says four plainclothes officers showed up at the mobile park and started fanning out in the area. As another six officers drove up, three investigators were spotted exiting the Cantu house.

Investigators are currently taking pictures of cars in the area and hovering around the Cantu residence.

He notes that the FBI is currently processing evidence and examining three vehicles that were taken after search warrants were served in Tracy and Oakdale.

On Tuesday crews set out into the city’s wildlife area, scouring a nearby river. Watney says they searched a total of six areas but found nothing. He says they are not searching outside Tracy unless there is a credible lead.

While polygraph tests have been administered, officials are not saying who was tested.

The next press conference is scheduled for 10 a.m. Wednesday.

was hoping to see some good news this morning....

still praying for you Sandra!

 

[elle1919]

Thank you all so much for keeping this thread updated with the latest information on this child! I am praying that we get some news today that is worth rejoicing about. Does anyone know if there is more being said about the father that might have cashed a check and went to Mexico? I saw an interview on Monday with the dad and he looked....for all appearance purposes...like he was truly heartbroken. I hope we do not shift the focus of this investigation away from Sandra, but fleeing to Mexico right now seems a little ...strange....if that rumour is true. Anyone know?

In this interview detectives say they hope to have some evidence processed within the next few days that could lead to a break in the case.

The detective also said that they are focused on what happened between Sandra walking back to the trailer, the five or less minutes inside, and when she walked away. They said she did not receive a phone call while she was in the trailer (Greta asked that question).
