Because there are no new developments, there is nothing for reporters to report. A few soldier on at the Tribune doing what they can to give the story some oxygen. Most of the media swarm right now, however, is focused on Antioch—ground zero of the latest child abduction atrocity.

I'd settle for seeing an article in which law enforcement says they are working on his case and that they do not want to give more information than that.

Does anyone know how soon the scent dogs were called in?
It has bothered me that there was no evidence of Hasanni being in the driveway and I wondered how long Hasanni would have had to have been there for his scent to be found (or how fast someone would have had to abduct him).
I snipped these from the Ohio Valley Search and Rescue.
human scent - All humans have an individual scent left behind by the 40,000 skin cells dropped per minute. These dropped skin cells, called skin rafts look like tiny potato chips and float easily on air currents. Temperature, humidity, sun exposure, and wind determine how long a skin raft can be detected. The hotter and drier the day, the shorter the life of the skin raft. That's why search dogs need to be called as quickly as possible to a search scene.
tracking dog - The tracking dog works from a scent article from the subject, such as a piece of clothing or an item touched only by the subject. From this article, the dog picks up the subject's scent and uses it to find the subject's path. He works in a harness on a 30-50 foot lead and leads his handler directly to the subject by tracing the exact footsteps of the subject.
trailing dog - The trailing dog works similarly to the tracking dog. A scent article is used so the dog can pick up the subject's scent and trail. The dog may waiver from the person's actual track by several feet, cutting corners and using the wind to his advantage. Again, the dog is generally in a harness with a 20-30 foot lead.
air scent dog - The air scent dog works off lead, ranging back and forth in an area to pick up the scent left by the subject. Ranging often takes the dog out of sight for several minutes at a time, so the handler must trust the dog and listen for an alert. Once the dog gets the subject's scent, he moves in to its source. He then must "alert" by either barking while staying with the subject or by returning to the handler and "telling" her in some way that she should follow. The dog then leads the handler to the subject.

Six search and rescue dogs were given the boy's scent from a swab that was wiped on his seat in the father's car. Helicopters, neighbors and police combed a two block area and College Avenue was shut down for more than five hours. Near the shoe store is a busy restaurant where customers were sitting outside.

It must have been almost immediately. This is from August 10, which was the day Hasanni went missing. It doesn't seem likely that Hasanni was there less than 1 minute (imagine 40,000 skin cells disappearing that fast).

Still praying for you Hasanni...there are too many people out here that love you and won't stop until you're found.
I feel so helpless...this is so unfair...GOD PLEASE LET THIS BEAUTIFUL CHILD OF YOURS BE FOUND SOON...Amen!

From the article ~
"And in those two months, the attention the case is getting has lessened significantly. The once-weekly vigils on Monday nights have turned into once-a-month gatherings at the request of his foster parents. An organized search for the boy hasn't been done since the last weekend in September."
Well, I have an idea what's wrong. In the beginning, Nancy Grace was talking about Hasanni on her show. For weeks now, she hasn't even mentioned him. Tonight, for example, it's all about Jon Gosselin. :banghead: And then there's the problem with Hasanni's foster parents, who LE arrested and released. Even though there isn't enough evidence to charge them, the suspicion is probably already out there that Hasanni was killed by one or both of them. And if searchers are looking for Hasanni's remains, the more time that passes, the less chance he'll be found especially when there really isn't a clue where he could be. Or at least the public isn't aware of it. :cry: MOO
It just sucks, doesn't it? How can someone "lose" a child so effectively? I mean, is that it? Unless remains are found, LR and family just continue on? I wish I knew the answer (and so does my sister - sometimes she'd love to "lose" her stepkids!). How is it some crimes can just be solved almost as soon as they happen, and this one falls through the cracks? I wouldn't have said LR is particularly extra-intelligent (or the local LE all that thick), but so far it's the perfect crime.

You're so right - Hasanni was lost very effectively. And I agree - Ross is not particularly extra-intelligent; where he is in life is actually very pathetic. You would think Ross would be exhausted from all the drama he oozed. He made a mistake or two, they just haven't been discovered yet. mho
The lying and trying to keep deadly secrets must be very exhausting, too.

Agreed, for most of us it is/would be. For Ross, I somehow think he believes his scenario - That's probably why he thought he could take a lie detector test and why he is so shocked people question him. It's all in the arrogance and grandiosity of being right! mho

Let's hope the publicity on this serves some use. I wish them well in getting the search funds they need.

I wonder how a caterer could do this on 3 days' notice ....don't they usually plan things for weeks or months in advance? I hope that bad planning doesn't derail Sherri's good intentions .
She notes that they already have the food, so I guess they are hoping for some fire auxiliary or something to cook it up?
I guess it was just a long shot hope, since the fundraiser is being put together at short notice. However, I can imagine a lot of caterers would try their hardest to do it, even at short notice, since it's a good chance at some PR.
It would be cool if a Fire dep't. could cook and serve everything--I didn't think of that.
This event hasn't been announced on tv here, that I have heard anyway--I'm glad you sleuthers posted it.
I just cannot beleive that this little boy hasn't been found yet.
It's so frustrating and sad:banghead::banghead::banghead:

I really wonder what happened to him. Based on the facts, it sure seems as if LR (and or JC?) did something to him, and given LR's overconfident attitude, he must have disposed of him very sneakily and efficiently (ugh, sorry to put it that way).
Somehow, the truth always seems to surface eventually, even if it takes years. It's too frustrating, though.
