NEW: Texas landfill search to begin for missing Tempe boy
Last Update: 5:41 pm
<snipped>
Police in Texas said Friday that investigators will move forward with excavating a section of a San Antonio landfill in the search for a missing 8-month-old Tempe boy.

Investigators are expected to begin searching sometime next week a portion of the Tessman Road Landfill that has already been cordoned off.

Meantime, Tempe detectives say they are holding out hope that Gabriel is still alive and won't discuss details of the ongoing investigation.

"Signs that Gabriel is alive are dwindling, that's why we need more tips to come in," said Tempe Sergeant Steve Carbajal.

Detectives in San Antonio say they will begin digging through garbage at a landfill there, looking for clues into what might have happened to a missing Tempe toddler.

Gabriel Johnson has been missing for more than a month, and authorities believe this area of the landfill contains garbage from a neighborhood where little Gabriel was last seen.

Police in Texas have not said what exactly they'll be looking for in the landfill.

San Antonio police plan to search landfill for missing Tempe baby

"We have not opened a homicide case," said Chief Bill McManus. "We're still considering it a missing persons case. And we're meeting to determine how to proceed in the next couple days."

The chief said the case will take a major step forward next week by searching a San Antonio landfill. The chief called the landfill "a place of interest" in the baby Gabriel search.

His officers are still in the planning process, but they've cordoned off a section of the landfill, staked it out and figured out how deep they'll have to dig and prevented any more garbage from being dumped on the site.

Will Baby Gabriel Johnson's Body Be Found in a San Antonio Landfill?
San Antonio Authorities May Be Planning to Search an Area Landfill; Child Advocate Maintains They Should Have Already Searched It
January 30, 2010
<snipped>
The day after missing baby Gabriel Johnson was last seen by anyone, Elizabeth Johnson boarded a bus in San Antonio, Texas, headed to Florida. She traveled without the child. That same day she texted Gabriel Johnson's father, Logan McQueary and told him she had killed the child. Part of the text message read: "When I'm safe, I'll email you the exact location of dead Gabriel's little blue body, if the garbage don't come first," which has led authorities to believe that Baby Gabriel was placed in a dumpster while Johnson was in San Antonio. Investigators have searched in and around the two hotels where Elizabeth Johnson stayed to no avail. But they still haven't searched the area landfill.

Investigators have been considering searching a portion of a San Antonio landfill for several days. They have cordoned off an area of the Tessman Road landfill and are referring to it as a "place of interest."

Now all that has to be done is search the cordoned off section.

World renowned investigator offers to help find baby Gabriel
Last Update: 1/30 11:16 pm
<snipped>
Jay J. Armes, otherwise known as "The Investigator," has been finding missing people for 40 years. He was made famous for finding Marlon Brando's son in the 70's.

Armes sometimes charges up to $1 million a case, but for baby Gabriel Johnson, he and his team are offering to do it for free.

"Because of the way it happened and the way the girl started lying from the beginning," Armes told ABC15 on a phone interview from Texas. "At first she had given it to a couple, and then she didn't know who the couple were. The harder the cases are, the more challenging they are to me." "There's got to be a reason why she's throwing everybody off," said Armes.

Armes said he thinks Gabriel was "adopted underground," and that he and his team have recovered hundreds of children who went missing in such arrangements around the world.

Armes said another key to his success is tough interrogations and deeper probes of "persons of interest," like Jack and Tami Smith, who were friends with Elizabeth and had hoped to adopt Gabriel. "I think there's something there," said Armes about the Smiths. "Where there's smoke, there's fire, and I think they should be doing a background on them since the day they were born."

McQueary said he has not agreed to work with Armes yet, but does plan to meet with him in the near future.

Logan McQueary Leaves Tuesday To Find His Missing Son

Nearly a dozen members of the McQueary family were huddled in a hotel room Monday. All of them were working laptops, cell phone, printers, and maps tacked to the wall.

Logan McQueary will set out for San Antonio Tuesday with his cousins, Lisa and Joe Peters. Lisa just flew in from Egypt to help in any way she could.

But their task is made harder by the fact that Elizabeth Johnson is the only one who knows where she stopped and who she met on the way. And Elizabeth is not talking.

"I wish she would tell Logan the truth, all of us the truth, but we'll find Gabriel without her if that's what we have to do," said Sandy Peters.

Upon hearing of the arrest, a thrilled McQueary said it was a long time coming, and he has always maintained that Smith knows more than she told police.

He and his family, who are on a road trip to San Antonio to retrace Johnson's steps, said they believe the arrest is another clue that may ultimately help police find Gabriel. Nevertheless, not all are optimistic that Gabriel is still alive.

Father of missing infant coming to Texas
Web Posted: 02/02/2010 11:25 CST
<snipped>
The father of a missing Arizona infant last seen in San Antonio in December is en route to El Paso, where he plans to meet with internationally-known private investigator Jay J. Armes.

Armes said he and Logan McQueary of Tempe, Ariz., the father of 8-month-old Gabriel Johnson, will discuss the investigation Tuesday evening and plot their route to San Antonio, where they will retrace the baby's mother's steps.

&#8220;We will decipher every iota of information,&#8221; Armes said Tuesday morning, adding both he and McQueary are hopeful they'll find Gabriel. &#8220;Right now, I feel that Gabriel is still alive, because there haven't been any sightings of a cadaver.&#8221;

Armes said he will work with three other private investigators in California, Austin and Houston. Combined, the team has more than 135 years of experience, said Armes, who runs a company called The Investigators.

Already, investigators with the Tempe Police Department, FBI and San Antonio police tried to find Gabriel, but Armes said he plans to look into claims other agencies already determined to be false.

&#8220;We have to interview everyone that they've talked to,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The more investigators on the case, the better.&#8221;

UPDATED: Woman arrested in missing baby case
February 2, 2010 - 11:47AM , updated: February 2, 2010 - 4:18PM
<snipped>
Tammi Smith, 37, of Scottsdale, was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit custodial interference, custodial interference and forgery, Tempe police announced.

Smith was arrested at 11:10 a.m. at her home in north Scottsdale. Police arrived at the house in an unmarked car and handcuffed her in front of her 4-year-old daughter, Tammi Smith&#8217;s husband, Jack Smith, told the Tribune Tuesday.

Jack Smith said he is &#8220;mad&#8221; about his wife&#8217;s arrest, that Tammi and he have done nothing wrong, and that there will be a &#8220;day of reckoning.&#8221;

&#8220;We have been bullied, and I&#8217;m tired,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They&#8217;ve thrown the gauntlet down. We&#8217;ve done nothing, so how could there be a conspiracy? Police are trumping up these stupid and idiotic charges, and they have no proof. They can&#8217;t connect dots A and B, much less B and C. &#8220;We&#8217;ve done nothing but try to help enlist in this fight to get that girl and the baby back here after she took off, and to find the child.&#8221;

Jack Smith said that Tammi made a mistake about writing Cherry&#8217;s name on the court document, but that she didn&#8217;t sign the document and didn&#8217;t file it. &#8220;Tammi was in the wrong place at the wrong time,&#8221; Jack Smith said. &#8220;She had no business being a part of that girl&#8217;s fight. We&#8217;ve done nothing but try to be good people through all this.&#8221;
