Silver Alert CA - Stephanie Menard, 73, Daniel Menard, 79, & Cuddles, white Shih Tzu, Olive Dell Ranch nudist resort, unlocked car found, Redlands, 24 Aug 2024

[SophieRose]

The video clip from KTLA shows lots of vehicles lined up at what looks like the entrance of the RV park. The video shows officers seem to be focused on this one particular home. Is this the Menard's home or someone else's? The black police vehicle used the front pointy thing (I do not know the name of this) to break out a window.

First picture is couple's house, second picture is neighbor.

The house with the square white deck on the roof is the same house in both pictures.

Police were previously at this different house in the RV park, shown earlier in the KTLA video.

Is the battering ram used at the "suspect's" home? I'm a bit confused why a battering ram is needed, but perhaps it's a barricaded situation??

It sounds like it could be.

"He does live here," [police spokesman] Baker said. "We believe he's here on site."

Live updates from public information officer Baker on KTLA live stream:

The home breeched with the battering ram is the suspect's residence. It is next door to the Menard home. No one is inside the suspect's home. They don't know where he is exactly but have the area locked down and are confident he's still in their perimeter. They've been informed that the suspect is still inside the RV park.

Could there be an undetected underground area - maybe that's where he brought the couple and the dog and where he escaped to?

I don't mean to sound far-fetched!

Per presser:
They have not located the Menards or the suspect. Area is locked down and he is not able to escape the area. LE was informed that he (suspect) is in the house. A tip came in that he was involved in the couple's disappearance, he is their next door neighbor. No name or age as of yet. They are conducting a remote search after the breaching of the house. Suspect is believed to live alone. Don't know if he is armed. Nothing as far as the Menards location or condition, canines including cadaver dogs have been searching.
