CA-Sandra Cantu Missing 3/28/2009 from Tracy,#2

[Nora Charles]

Yes, Danistar, we all make mistakes if that was the case. We just want to know what is going on and don't want to think the worst if it isn't true. Just let us know, and to be honest we aren't disappointed at all that her body wasn't found!!!!!!!!!

Danistar, if you are wrong and were misinformed we will not be upset with you! Don't not come back for that reason. thx

Man's name is in this article. (The guy questioned from trailer park today.)
http://tracypress.com/content/view/17706/2268/

Also details of warrant search and how man was identified, etc.

Lives at #43 in trailer park.

In the last picture it looks like the officer is wearing a bullet proof vest-- do cops always wear bullet proof vests when they serve a warrant?

I finally got this to work when I went through Internet Explorer. Firefox blocked it for some reason. Thanks for the help everyone!!

It took a long time to open. The screen was just white for awhile.

Good catch!

I need to take a break so I can hug my kids. This is getting scary.

We've got great people on this thread and I'd hate to lose any of the info or any of the posters for violating TOS. Please, please stop writing about other posters on the thread! Threads get closed for that kind of thing.

Mr. Cantu, when your child is missing the parents are the first ones to be ruled out. And given your *cough* record....talk is just what they will do. You may find the talk tough... but the talk is maybe even tougher on persons already named POIs in this case.

I'm not saying he is innocent, but I would think that if he were guilty he would stay in Mexico where he can't be extradited back to the states.

When I went to school there were quite a few Mexican nationals that would come to US for college and then go back to Mexico when they got there degree. But other than that it seems weird that he would be going back and forth between Mexico.

Do we have any idea why the mother and father divorced?

My son is a cop and he has to wear his Kevlar vest the whole time he is on duty.

yeah when MK said that on NG tonight I recalled hearing that. :furious: That also stood up in court and said something that I will never forget either. :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious:

Oh, I remember that too. I didn't want to even think of it again but I'll never forget that either. It's at times like that that you really, really, really wish the bailiffs would just let the family have at em' for at least a few minutes, ya' know? That was about the worst thing I have ever heard of in my life.

Okay - what do we have as of now?

1. Sandra left home approximately 4:00 p.m.
2. Mom called LE approximately 8:00 p.m.
3a. LE immediately began searching mobile home park.
3b. Dogs made a hit at the edge of Old River. I believe these were cadaver dogs, right?
4. LE notified press approximately 2:00 a.m.
5. One POI - FW had contact (kiss) w/Sandra 2 years ago. Neighbor reported that he often drove by and stared at Sandra's home.
6. Family says they filed complaint about this kiss with LE and as far as they know, nothing was ever done.
7. LE says they have NOT reviewed the original complaint, but that they will as soon as Sandra is found.
8. LE has searched FW's home, business and confiscated his vehicles.
9. 2nd POI - CS - not sure why this guy raised LE's hinky meter. CS was arrested for Obstruction of Justice when LE was trying to execute a search warrant at his home. LE has confiscated his vehicles.
10. 3rd POI for which we STILL do not have a name. Cousin to CS. Lives in Oakdale. LE has apparently thoroughly searched his home. Do we know anything else about this guy?
11. 4th POI - DS, lives in No. 43. Not sure what raised LE's hinky meter on this one either. DS says he warned Sandra about "some adults." LE has searched his home and confiscated 2 of his vehicles.
12. T-shirt found in garbage at transfer station, but does not appear to be connected, although LE is testing the shirt. Do we know that the garbage the shirt was found in, came from the area of the trailer park?
13. Dad has long record and has spent time at Pelican Bay, apparently a "hard-core" prison. Dad has indicated he has taken a poly. Dad showed up on Sunday, March 29th, and then took a quick trip down to Mexico. Dad is back by Tuesday, April 2nd. Dad has voluntarily been going to the police station on a daily basis.
14. Video of Sandra to be released in the morning showing her leaving her house (hope it gives us a clue or two).
15. We can be fairly certain that Sandra did not leave the trailer park on her own - so she was either driven out or she is still there - unless, someone dumped her over the back fence (is there even a back fence?) and then went around and picked her up or climbed over the fence and took her up by the river?

What am I leaving out?

Salem

I would add to number 11 that that POI has a missing poster in his window, and has attended vigils/seems interested in the search.

You know what I am thinking - I think Tracy LE has stumbled upon a bunch of pedos sharing *advertiser censored* and maybe child *advertiser censored*. Nothing to base this on, just my mind on overdrive. I think I need more coffee

Salem

It was actually reported on the news a few hours ago. Something like 60 individuals found to trading child *advertiser censored* in the Tracy area. Disgusting.

Here is the link: http://www.fox40.com/pages/search_for_sandra

Under the video click on next until you see the one that is 2:25 minutes long with a picture of her dad. The title gets cut off but starts, "Father of Missing..."

He says, "I love you, and if you can get to a phone call 911, Babe. Call somebody, run, do anything you can do, but please try to get home."

Another video on the site which starts, "Parents of Missing..." and is 4:00 minutes has him telling Sandra he loves her, and then pleads with the kidnapper saying he doesn't have to turn himself in, just let Sandra go.

These just seem logical and make sense to me.

Yea me too! They don't make you cringe and say whaaaaaat? Those are smart and powerful words. I'm still prayin' there will be good news on this one!

He probably works in Cali, right next to the Mexico border, and lives in Mexico because it is cheaper.

NO...Keep drinking the java Salem LOL... you are okay.

I have thought this too....esp after the article about the sixty person online kiddie *advertiser censored* sharing group. Could this latest guy be part of it?

What I hate are TROLLS. I hope that our local was not one. They decorate fiction like a wedding cake with bells...even the little silver filials, they dash hope, they create false holpe where none was before, they insite, they inflame, need I say more....oh no.... i just did! :

D, if you are real and what you know is real than we will know it soon enough. You do not seem to be around NOW to talk about it after you introduced your "statement" . So where are you and what is the status of your claim????

I want to give Danistar a break. She's simply reporting what she heard and she was very clear that it could be a false rumor and that she sincerely hoped it was false. She gave all the info she could to us and was as candid as she could be. I don't want to discourage people from reporting what they hear, even if it does turn out to be rumor because that might end up tarnishing our reputation here at WS of getting all the info first. Local input is often very valuable. What drives me crazy is the first person who spreads a tall tale as if it was fact. I just don't think Danistar is one of those people.

Ugh sorry I'm new at this forum posting stuff. Never even been in a chat room before so what does that mean exactly? Like don't direct posts to another poster or we can't talk about or to Danistar?

Do you have a link? I would love to read this!

Angie Chavez (Sondra's Aunt) on NG right now, MB hosting...I hear her speaking in past tense...anyone else?

Sure as heck did. Made me pause for sure.

 

[nursebeeme]

The cousin's trailer in Oakdale that was searched, do we have a location better than just Oakdale? I am researching SO's in that area...

yes we do.... for sake or finding the link it is across from 262 School Avenue.... right across... there were witnesses at 262 School ave that said they witnessed the whole LE assault on the property (I posted a map on the last thread)

I think it was on JVM and NG but I will look for a link.

I was thinking about that when people were referring to Haleigh in the past tense. I've caught myself doing that when explaining something to my fiance. Haha he has to hear all about these cases from me. So IDK on that one if it is such a red flag or not... :waitasec:
