Found Deceased AZ - Isabella Grogan-Cannella, 8, Bullhead City, 2 September 2014 - #1

[J1981]

You betcha. Hinky.

A police report released today by the Bullhead City Police Department said several adults were at the residence Monday evening and decided to go to Walmart at about 11 p.m. They left two children with their grandmother, Freddie Nicholson and Rector, who was downstairs. The report said the grandmother was upstairs and two children were playing hide-and-seek downstairs. When one girl went to the bathroom and came back out, the other child and Rector were missing.

A search of the house turned up nothing and the adults were called. They returned home and could not find Isabella or Rector. They called police.

The only other adult in the house was the grandmother so either she was the person who called the mom or Bella's sister called. And the grandmother would have been the person who searched the house before calling. This would have been at 11:30. So why would the family then spend two hours searching the house when both the grandmother and Bella's sister knew that JR had left with her? It makes no sense.

Why didn't the mom call police as soon as she got home and learned that JR took Bella? For that matter why didn't the grandmother call the police herself as soon as she found out? This was her granddaughter for goodness sakes! Some older man took her out of the house in the middle of the night and no one thought something bad was happening?

The whole story stinks.

Thanks isn't enough.

Can we theorize? This is my theory in the 2-hour time gap (11:30pm-1:30am) - I believe it was filled with negotiations. "Bring her back" and "if you give me X". They felt like they had to negotiate themselves without police involvement because of some illegal activity. Once they knew Bella was gone, they called the police and played dumb. Also, her "help find my daughter" on FB when she HAD to have known EXACTLY who had her daughter? Sickening. IMO.

Per rumor, (I have screenshots) jr texted the family saying he had Bella and what were they going to do about it that is how they knew he had her.

That makes no sense, I think that is a rumor gone wild.
Especially when you read his FB post from the evening of September 2nd. He's still trying to keep up his charade and convince everyone he had nothing to do with her disappearance.

Nothing has been reported in msm so far but the bio father and other relatives have posted on social media that they're coming to AZ. The bio dad said he had to be cleared for travel first, whatever that means.

3 things pop into my wee brain

(a) military - needs permission
(b) under medical care
(c) check with parole officer

Cleaning up and getting their stories straight. Grandma may have been asleep. Wonder what time mom or stepdad got home?

Lol I have never been to a Walmart...and for sure won't start going since being on WS...every other criminal seems to go there before or after...

You're not missing anything!

I've only been late night a few times for emergency stuff...ya know like when your kid tells you he MUST have something the next day for school as you're tucking him into bed ....cause he volunteered you to provide cupcakes, or something...lol

Omg!! This just made me remember something. Nancy Grace had a Grandmother on the show tonight and I'm assuming that it's the same Grandma they are referring to in the tweet. This Grandma said that the story keeps on changing. I was going to post this earlier and totally forgot. I might be able to find the transcript.

yep making sure there were no twigs & seeds (oh wait this is not the 60's) -- make that making sure all the hiding places were cleared out....MOO

 

[justanother]

So many questions! I am hoping LE is on it all! From texts, to letters, to who he may have been around. You don't just wake up and kill an 8 yr old....wtf happened here?

Hiding/getting rid of drugs, before LE comes to the house?

This is kind of what the grandma, TP, stated to the NG video I was hoping someone could link to.

Wonder if grandmother is on maternal or paternal side of family?

 

[bessie]

digging a shallow grave would imply tools to me -- hard as rock to dig in that part of the world.....where did he find tools? ((makes me think that's where he needed a car ))

Not necessarily. Check out this video in the McStay forum at about 2:45.

I am not sure, can't find a transcript or video for Nancy Grace show. I missed it earlier.

I'm not exactly following what Grandma means with these statements.

 

[newone]

Have there been any statements from Gramma ''Freddie"?
