The red, Volkswagen Jetta that investigators are associating with the kidnapping of Morgan Hill teen Sierra LaMar has
yet to undergo forensic examination, and its not clear
when it will happen.
The vehicle is in evidence, and will be examined at some point, Santa Clara County Sheriffs Sgt. Jose Cardoza said.
Cardoza also said investigators aren't specifically commenting on what theyre looking for, and that they've identified the owner of the car, but haven't named any persons of interest.
Limited details about the vehiclecaptured in surveillance footage near key areas in the LaMar caseare being released as a precaution: Investigators dont want to compromise the case and subsequently harm Sierra, who they believe is still alive.
A lot of people dont understand its the way it goestheyve got to protect her, said Davina Joy, who volunteers with the KlaasKids Foundation, the nonprofit organizing weekly searches for Sierra.
The belief that Sierra is alive Is based on a lack of evidence proving otherwise, and has apparently provided hope for a positive outcome.
