There was a flurry of activity Saturday morning, and according to Elizabeth’s aunt, Lily Huckabee, police arrested three members of Elizabeth’s 19-year-old boyfriend’s family, including the boyfriend.

In a phone conversation with Lubbock County Jail Sergeant Duncan Sunday morning, he confirmed the three arrests were made Saturday morning. He said, however, that he cannot confirm the three cases are related.

Huckabee said two others were arrested Saturday morning: Humberto Salinas’ common-law wife, Carmen Manzanares, and his son, Humberto Lopez Salinas.

Wow that newest must have just come online...
Thanks for posting!

Wow...you know IF there are young children that WERE being babysat- I sure hope they have been taken into some type of protective/emergency foster situation.

Oh my oh me...they some hinky here for sure

 

[cluciano63]

Is Lubbock going to call in some professional searchers, I hope? Searches need to start now, if not already in progress... Dogs, sonar, etc...

 

[Wondergirl]

Not sure about the destinction of "aggravated" here.

Also, how the heck do they know she was kidnapped anyway, if JR isn't talking?

What do they have on him?

&#8212; Police say they&#8217;ve charged a 45-year-old Lubbock man has been charged with aggravated kidnapping in the case of a 15-year-old girl listed for weeks as a runaway.

Lubbock police Capt. Greg Stevens says the search for Lubbock Monterey High School student Elizabeth Ennen has now changed from a runaway investigation to a kidnapping case. Stevens said Saturday he knows of no leads to her whereabouts, despite the charge against Humberto Maldonado Salinas Jr. A message left for Stevens Sunday wasn&#8217;t returned.

seems odd to be babysitting at a motel doesn't it? I wonder if these were trusted friends or strangers-how she got the job.

Odd is not even the word for it. Unless they were visiting from out of town. Especially this motel. Family lived in Lubbock, parent had to know what kind of place this is...read the reviews from tripadvisor.com. First review seems to be a plant by owner as it is in such contrast to the others. o: I wouldn't let my kids in this area of town, much less stay to babysit.

Sounds like LE deliberately arrested HS on other charges so they could blindside him with the aggravated kidnapping charge, and listen to what he came up with regarding EE hopefully with his guard down a bit.

JMOO--But, maybe this is why the police aren't doing much to investigate Beth's disappearance... Some are child predators themselves! Read this!!!

Police initially listed Elizabeth as a runaway after her mother reported her missing just after midnight Jan. 5 when the 15-year-old hadn’t returned from the baby-sitting job, according to a police report.

Members of Elizabeth's family were frustrated with police for not treating the case as a kidnapping from the beginning, Stevens and Elizabeth's cousin, Chris Moss, said Saturday.

“We told them straight up from day one it wasn’t like her to run off,” Moss said.

Just noting that this news article says Elizabeth's mom called police at 12:30am.

I think the family lived at the motel, per earlier news articles.

just an observation but that looks like our local CPS family visitation room not that it IS the exact one.. just kinda weird background for a family pic. A lot of families under supervised visitation take family pics in our local room because they are excited about the visits, want to remember the visits since sometimes they are monthly etc...
JMHO MOO etc

I was wondering the same thing. I thought it looked like some kind of institutional setting of some kind too. I think you might be right.

Says LE are searching fields and lakes:

[sreshowtime]

Thanks Raven for catching that new MSM article. Glad to hear they are searching, though it sounds like a sad ending is coming. Yes I saw on the map some lakes inaddition to the one next to the motel (it may not be there now though, depends on when the aerial was taken)
I venture to guess under the circumstances she will be found close to the motel.

 

[sreshowtime]

Shivs- please add your input, it would be appreciated! I know some are a little , ahhh upset? that EE was thought to be a runaway, under the circumstances given in MSM....but LE seems to be proceeding rapidly now and justice can be had...
Please let us know what you may hear or know about this.Thanks!

He was a cop for 5 months.

He was abusing his adopted daughter for 3 years.

He became a cop AFTER the abuse started. This isn't a "cop gone bad" this is a "bad guy who became a cop."

Yes, law enforcement put Beth off as a runaway and lost time.

Just like Hailey Dunn, Jonathan Foster and several other kids in different areas of Texas were initially labeled as runaways. If you are over 10 years old and disappear odds are about 50/50 that you will be labeled as a runaway. It's just the way it is. That's why you have to fight to get the media coverage and prove they are not a runaway.

They could have simply continued to say she was a runaway and left it at that. I highly doubt any suspect walked in screaming "I kidnapped her!" So they had to do something to investigate at some point. They also didn't get national pressure like LE in Hailey Dunn's case.

I'm not going to condemn the whole department for a couple of cops who became cops for the wrong reason. That'd be like condemning all doctor's because mine was an incompetent idiot. :twocents:
