Acting Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan said that department investigators "know for a fact" that little Hasanni Campbell didn't go missing from behind a Rockridge shoe store on August 10 as his stepfather claims, according to the Trib and the Chron. In other words, stepfather Louis Ross has lied and is still lying about what happened to the 5-year-old boy. Jordan did not disclose more details on how investigators reached that conclusion, but said Oakland police would not conduct any more searches for the boy unless they got additional credible information about what happened to him.

Police: Hasanni Was Not in Oakland

Jordan did not disclose more details on how investigators reached that conclusion, but said Oakland police would not conduct any more searches for the boy unless they got additional credible information about what happened to him. Oakland cops say that the last known public sighting of the boy was on August 6 at a Wal-Mart store in Fremont. Jordan made his comments after the Alameda County District Office decided to not file charges against Ross or Hasanni's foster mother/aunt Jennifer Campbell and ordered them both released from jail.

Missing boy's foster father blasts police
Investigators Don't Buy Story
September 1, 2009
<snipped>
The foster father of a missing 5-year-old boy is out of jail and vowing to find the boy with or without police help. Oakland police released Louis Ross Tuesday night after arresting him on suspicion of homicide.

Ross is being quite vocal about the police department. He claims they have a preconceived theory about Hasanni's disappearance and says police know for a fact, in their hearts, that he killed the boy and that he was never really kidnapped.

As for now, the district attorney is siding with Ross, who is a free man after being released from the Santa Rita jail where he had been held since Friday on suspicion of murder. Investigators point to recently-released surveillance video from August 6th, of Hasanni and his family at a Fremont Walmart, as the last known citing of the boy.
They just do not believe the foster parents' story.

"We are continuing to put our efforts into solving this case and potentially re-arresting Mr. Louis Ross or Jennifer Campbell at some point," Police Chief Howard Johnson said.

"See... and I trusted their word. But, they've shown through their actions their word cannot be trusted. They've shown though their actions they have an agenda," Ross said referring to investigators' efforts to implicate him, including texting him from foster mother Jennifer Campbell's phone after the two were arrested last Friday. She was released Monday evening. He was released Tuesday night.

Currently, no one is in jail for Hasanni's disappearance. But, police say there is one prime suspect in this case and it is Louis Ross. The search for Hasanni will be continued on Saturday at Lake Elizabeth in Fremont. The organizers of the volunteer search are looking for divers to look in the lake.

Not Enough Evidence - Foster Parents Released
Wednesday, 02 September 2009 7:26AM
<snipped>
Acting Oakland police chief Howard Jordan claims police know for a fact that little Hasanni Campbell was never in the Rockridge area where his foster father, Louis Ross, claims he went missing.

Jordan refused to say what those facts are, but the district attorney believed there was not enough evidence to prosecute Ross, or Hasanni&#8217;s foster mother, Jennifer Campbell, on murder charges.

Legal analyst and former prosecutor Steven Clark says police were trying a standard technique when making the arrests.

&#8221;The police tried to separate the couple and get incriminating statements, and see if under police pressure they would disclose more information,&#8221; said Clark. &#8220;So the arrests were used as a police investigative tool, which is frequently done to get information from a suspect. So I think it was a good police tactic, it just didn&#8217;t, unfortunately, produce enough evidence to generate a charge at this time.&#8221;

Search for Hasanni continues Saturday at Lake Elizabeth in Fremont
Posted: 09/02/2009 04:10:11 PM PDT
<snipped>
Volunteers and donations of food and beverages are needed for the Saturday search for Hasanni Campbell, the disabled Fremont boy who was reported missing Aug. 10.

Sherri Miller is organizing the search of Lake Elizabeth at 40000 Paseo Padre Parkway in Fremont. A certified diver contacted Miller to volunteer his time, and the San Jose volunteer search and rescue team will bring diving equipment to the search, which starts at 9 a.m. Saturday. But Miller said Wednesday she still needs volunteers to register people at the start, assign tasks and assist with lunch.

She said she also needs donated food and beverages to feed the volunteers.

Miller, the owner of All in One Stop, a San Leandro print shop, got involved in the search the day after the 5-year-old boy was reported missing from the rear driveway of Shuz of Rockridge, a shoe store where Jennifer Campbell, the boy's foster mother and aunt, works.

Police said Tuesday the couple are the only suspects in the case and that they have evidence that the boy was never at the shoe store.

Since Hasanni went missing, Miller has printed thousands of missing-person fliers and dozens of T-shirts with Hasanni's face and information about him and the case.

Miller got involved in searching for missing children after Sandra Cantu of Tracy went missing earlier this year. The 8-year-old girl later was found dead, and Sunday school teacher Melissa Huckaby, 28, has been charged with the killing.

Hasanni's foster parents say they're innocent
Thursday, September 3, 2009
<snipped>
The foster parents of Hasanni Campbell proclaimed their innocence outside jail, saying they had nothing to do with the 5-year-old Fremont boy's disappearance and attacking the tactics of police investigators who believe their son is dead and suspect them of being involved in his killing.

Ross told police that he last saw Hasanni on Aug. 10 outside a shoe store on Oakland's College Avenue where Campbell, the boy's aunt, works. He said he believes someone kidnapped the boy, who has cerebral palsy.

But acting Police Chief Howard Jordan said at a news conference Tuesday, "We know for a fact that Hasanni Campbell never made it to Oakland on Aug. 10 to College Avenue."

Officer Jeff Thomason, a police spokesman, said the Walmart trip is "the last time that we have independent information about Hasanni Campbell being alive."

Ross and Campbell said they were the ones who gave the police the information about the shopping trip.

"I gave them a catalog of this, and I supplied them with proof," Ross said. "I said, 'As a matter of fact, here's a receipt. Check the time-date stamp. Look at the video. You'll see him there - you'll see all of us there.' "

Ross said that after police arrested Campbell at the Union City BART Station on Friday afternoon, officers using her cell phone sent him a text message in hopes of coaxing him out of his home on Roxie Terrace in Fremont. Ross said officers with "automatic weapons" eventually ordered him outside.

"You do not destroy people, tear them down or destroy families so you can prove that you were right," Ross said.

Reward for Hasanni Campbell upped to $60,000
Posted: 09/03/2009 01:03:28 PM PDT
Updated: 09/03/2009 01:30:44 PM PDT

The reward for information leading to the conviction of the person or people who abducted Hasanni Campbell, the disabled Fremont boy was reported missing nearly a month ago, has jumped to $60,000, authorities said today. The Oakland Police Department's Crime Stoppers Program received $50,000 in contributions from the Alameda County supervisors and the county of San Francisco.

Alameda County Supervisors Gail Steele and Scott Haggerty initiated the move to increase the reward by $25,000 for information leading to the whereabouts of the 5-year-old boy, who was reported missing Aug. 10 from the rear driveway of Shuz of Rockridge.

Because the boy's biological parents live in San Francisco, the city's Department of Human Services has been involved in the case. The biological parents gave up custody of the children because of health and other problems, authorities have said.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom authorized a $25,000 reward for information leading to the identification, apprehension and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the abduction of Hasanni, who has cerebral palsy and wears braces on his feet.

"We hope this award will lead to information on the whereabouts of Hasanni Campbell," Newsom said in a statement. "If you have any leads, please contact the Oakland Police Department."

"This case has touched everyone in our community and across the region and with the increased reward money we are hoping to bring closure to this case, said Oakland's acting police chief, Howard Jordan, in a statement.

Reward fund for Hasanni grows to $60,000
Thursday, September 3, 2009
<snipped>
(09-03) 14:05 PDT OAKLAND --A reward fund for information leading to the whereabouts of 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell has grown to $60,000 with contributions from the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and from San Francisco, police said Thursday.

Hasanni's foster father, Louis Ross, reported him missing Aug. 10, saying he last saw him outside a shoe store on College Avenue in Oakland where his fiancee and the boy's foster mother, Jennifer Campbell, works.

Oakland police arrested the Fremont couple Friday on suspicion of being involved in what they believe is the boy's killing, but the Alameda County district attorney declined to file charges.

The couple say they are innocent.

The reward fund includes $25,000 from the county supervisors; $25,000 authorized by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom; and $10,000 from Crime Stoppers.

"Initially, we devoted most all of our investigative resources," to the case, Jordan said.

The Police Department's youth and family services division conducted a continuous search for the boy, and two full-time homicide investigators were assigned to the case.

In addition, the department's 22 homicide investigators were called in to help with tasks from surveillance to interviews with possible witnesses, Jordan said.

"We can't devote the amount of resources to this case that we had, but it doesn't mean we're not going to continue investigating this. It's just not going to be as many people."

In the event new information surfaces about the fate or whereabouts of the boy, another team of investigators - and other resources - will be assembled, Jordan said.

Bay Area Counties Help Increase Hasanni Campbell Reward to $60,000
9/3/2009 5:44:00 PM
<snipped>
Oakland police say the reward for missing 5-year-old boy Hasanni Campbell is increasing to $60,000 thanks to large contributions from Alameda and San Francisco counties.

Oakland police and Crime Stoppers initially offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the whereabouts of Hasanni.

But Oakland police said the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and San Francisco County are contributing another $25,000 each to the reward.

Hasanni's biological parents live in San Francisco and the city's Department of Human Services had been involved in supervising him by checking in with his foster parents periodically.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom said in a statement, "We hope this award will lead to information on the whereabouts of Hasanni Campbell. If you have any leads, please contact the Oakland Police Department."

Oakland Acting Police Chief Howard Jordan said in a statement, "This case has touched everyone in our community and across the region and with the increased reward money we are hoping to bring closure to this case. The Oakland Police Department wants to thank everyone who is involved in this generous effort."

Last Friday, Oakland police said they consider Hasanni's disappearance to be a homicide case, not a missing persons case. They arrested Ross on suspicion of murder and Jennifer Campbell on suspicion of being an accomplice to murder.

But Ross and Campbell were released from custody earlier this week after the Alameda County District Attorney's Office said there's not enough evidence to charge them at this time.

Saturday Search Planned For Hasanni Campbell
Sep 4, 2009 5:12 pm US/Pacific
<snipped>
Civilian volunteers will search for missing 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell at Lake Elizabeth in Fremont this weekend, according to event organizers.

At 9 a.m. Saturday, civilian teams will search the perimeter of the lake while professional divers go out on the water, said San Leandro business owner Sherri Miller, who is organizing the search.

Miller said she hopes Saturday's search will provide new leads in the case. She and two colleagues came up with Lake Elizabeth because it's big, it's in Fremont and it hasn't been searched yet.

"It's a large area, and we have enough volunteers to search it," Miller said, adding that close to 100 people have signed up to help search the region.

"Lake Elizabeth is our meeting point, and we're branching off into teams tomorrow," Miller said. "We won't know until tomorrow where we're sending them."

Miller said San Jose Search and Rescue, a nonprofit that helps with missing person searches and other recovery operations, volunteered their entire team.

She said she also invited Alameda County law enforcement officials to participate, but the Fremont Police Department and the county sheriff's office declined.
