CA - Foster parents arrested in connection with murder of Hasanni Campbell - #1

[Columbo]

I just heard that they could be released from custody as early as Tuesday--if they don't confess?? OH NO
I'm not sure what conditions could allow them to be released.

 

[mischiefmanager]

From what I understand, their arraignment is Tuesday, and that's when they can/WILL file formal charges on them...

Good--so they can't be released? If he is held on no bail, it doesn't seem like he could be released.

You could be right, if he was familiar with the parts place, he could have known exactly where to put the body where it would never be found. I bet he did walk in with a bag, as if he was going to gather a bunch of parts in it. I bet someone noticed something odd. Just guessing, though.

Don't they ship that salvaged metal over to Asia to make new cars? So if LR did put Hasanni in there, someone in Asia would find the remains of this little boy. Horrific.

I dont even want to think this but does this salavage yard have a car crusher on the premise,

my husband used to work at a car crusher and if a body was in the car when it got crushed there would probably be no remains when you crush a car it turns in to metal dust, at least that what it looks like to me.

 

[mischiefmanager]

If formally charged, no LR shouldn't get out(no bail)...on the other hand JC MAY be able to bail out...They can hold them 48 hours(not including weekends)without formally charging them. At least, to the best of my knowledge.

So JC and LR...ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!!:behindbar

I am trying so hard not to "go there"...(tho I have) ..:runaway: .and am praying so hard that it was other evidence that was disposed of there.

The *only reason I think that he may not have put Hasanni there - is that if he did - he would not have "control" over the fact that Hasanni would never be found....and we all know how much he loves "control".

If he'd placed Hasanni there, there would always be the remote possibility that someone, an employee, someone else trolling for parts, someone operating machinery, maybe LE, would be alerted by something amiss, an odor, blood perhaps.....before anything made it to the compactor..{{{Shudder}} resent:...unless, of course, Ross knew the workings/schedule of the salvage yard *very well.....But he didn't, I don't think......it didn't seem as if the employees knew him that well............ Ross seemed way too confident that Hasanni would never, ever, be found...as in buried or underwater......as if he'd had *complete control over his "disposal" :no:

So until I hear otherwise, I"m going to hang onto that hope.........by the skin of my teeth maybe......but I'm gonna hang!!!! raying:

I have to believe that they have been into the salvage yard with scent dogs and cadaver dogs since the sighting of him there crying was reported

I'm not sure if they crush them there, or take the cars to a steel shipping dock where I know they do crush cars, load them onto ships and send them to Asia.
There used to be a shipyard in Oakland where they did just that--I can't remember the name! It may have closed down or moved by now. --editing because I just remembered the name, it's Schnitzer Steel Yard.
Probably not of consequence but here's a link to info about it:

They must have been there --it would make sense. Maybe they did find some evidence--not a body--and they have to keep it secret for now.

This has been bothering me for a while...we were talking about the sweatsuit Hasanni was wearing, you know, too hot for the weather...but could he have been dressed so that when he is found (gulp!) that his orthodics may still be in place??

You know, when he "went missing," LR described the sweatsuit and the orthotics, but not what kind of shoes he was wearing. This may or not be an important detail, but for some reason I think they didn't mention it because he didn't "disappear" fully dressed. Sort of a slip up--and maybe LE found his orthotics somewhere in the house? Kinda doubt that. Anyway, just an idea. And wouldn't it be ironic for them to hang themselves by forgetting the shoes, since JC was employed at ...Shuz...

Just my idea and I could be totally wrong. Do people usually describe the shoes when a child goes missing?

Yes, I have seen where they say, the child was barefoot, wearing flip flops, or describing the tennis shoes. Anything that will help jar someone's memory...down to a bow in their hair, or how many ear piercings they have.

 

[WhyaDuck?]

OK... Holy moly... I got a lot of catching up to do. I've been reading fast, and not having a lot of time to do my usual "thank yous"... but know that I thank you all for your work.

On a side note - if these people are guilty (and it sure looks like it), I am hell-fire angry at them. Not only because of the obvious reason that they killed (and covered up the killing of) this sweet, innocent child, though that is more than enough reason to be angry. You all know me enough to know I feel that loss keenly.

Yet, there is also a more general crime committed here... Every time one of these monsters do this, it makes the lives of every subsequent guardian or parent who loses a child that much more hellish, even if they are not responsible. Every time someone kills their child or ward and blames an unknown and fictitious kidnapper, it causes us all to get a little harder on the parents or caregivers of every missing kid down the line. The long finger of hateful blame jabs at these people a little harder from now on, even in the worst moments of their lives.

That is unjust, and a crime committed against thousands of innocent people down the line. Sadly, there can be no justice for this crime. Society is just that much crappier because these people were in it... and that is one of the worst condemnations any human can be found guilty of, I believe.

 

[WhyaDuck?]

For the next while, I might be posting a lot. I apologize in advance if I am posting stuff already said - I will clean up any useless posts later, when I get to the end...

However, I notice there was some question as to why JC was put in the Santa Rita so fast. I am pretty sure it is because she is nearly 7 months pregnant and Santa Rita has a maternity ward in its new hospital facilities.

OK... back to reading...

Hi momtective! Angela took out a Peace Order on Ross and the next day he took one out on Angela. He had 3 or 4 civil judgements against him ..One judgement by the state, another by a county, another by a firm in VA, and one by a person in MD. I think one is still open and unpaid.

In VA...he had a charge - failure to take care of animals, 2 divorces (one to a woman names Betty), reckless driving charge, (he was driving 82mph in ?), and bloggers found a couple others in CA. I haven't seen the Restraining orders you posted, only the one from Angela. One thing we all have to make sure of is that these are all from Louis Welton Ross, 7/1/71. There are so many Ross' that it's easy to make a mistake.

We're in the dark here...literaly.Storms and lightening strikes have left us with no power. I'm posting from my blackberry. If you go to the link I posted earlier http://casesearch.courts.state.md.us/inquiry-index.jsp you can see all of his records.There are many and they are his. He's had several addresses as you will see.

"There's still a 5-year-old child that's missing. I'm putting a search team together and leaving my store at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning," she said. about 15 to 20 volunteers will caravan to the Monterey area, where Ross has lived in the past. "As far as trying to find him, nothing has changed. We just have two less people to look for him, and now that they're in custody the public has no more excuse for not helping to look for this child."

***This is where LR used to live and he and JC got those tickets we found!!!!

Especially since in this case, the orthotics went into the shoes, and he'd need shoes to walk, too---you'd think LR or JC would have mentioned them.

 

[WhyaDuck?]

Another idea that might be plausible--our "little Man" wore orthotics in order to help straighten his feet and gait.

Maybe a small fund could be set up in his name to help other children to purchase orthotics or other medical equipment necessary.

There are many children who either have no insurance or whose insurance is insufficient to cover the cost.

This would be a constructive and lasting legacy in little Hasanni's name. .

I found this place:

http://www.cpcoak.org/index.html

I haven't looked at it very throughly, but I am thinking of sending them a little cheque in Hasanni's name, unless we as a group can think of a better place.

I think it might be nice for us to select a charity for donations in Hasanni's name, and maybe try to get it as a sticky.

But I can't think about that too much until his remains are found.

 

[WhyaDuck?]

Oakland attorney John Burris, who has been advising Ross and Campbell in recent weeks, said Saturday it was unlikely he would formally represent them; he mainly does civil-rights cases, not criminal defense, and he's not sure who'll end up taking the case. Still, he said, he tried to meet with them Saturday morning but was unsuccessful because they were in transit, perhaps for additional police interviews.

"I just want to let them know what's ahead for them... what the process looks like in front of them. No more than that," he said.
