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.

....


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.

Keeper of memories: Campbell search organizer known for memorializing missing youth
September 4, 2009 – 7:12 pm
<snipped>
Those who die on Oakland&#8217;s toughest avenues may get little more than a brief mention in local papers or on the nightly news, but their memories live on at Sherri-Lyn Miller&#8217;s print shop on East 14th Street in San Leandro, just blocks away from the Bayfair Center shopping mall.

Now Miller is working to keep the public aware of another person missed by friends and family&#8212;five-year-old Hassani Campbell, who was in the care of his Fremont foster parents Louis Ross and Jennifer Campbell when he vanished sometime around August 10. Last week the Oakland Police Department arrested Ross and Campbell on suspicion of murder, but the Alameda County District Attorney&#8217;s office declined to press charges and the two were released.

Miller is organizing a dive at Lake Elizabeth in Fremont to search for the boy. The dive, which will begin Saturday at 9 a.m., will involve the volunteer organization San Jose Search and Rescue, as well as residents from throughout the area. &#8220;It takes a village to raise a child and it takes a village to find a child,&#8221; said Miller, 40.

Since Campbell vanished, Miller&#8217;s print shop has become a headquarters for his search effort. What she initially envisioned as a campaign of &#8220;find Hassani&#8221; T-Shirts, missing persons posters and fundraisers has morphed into a larger search. She&#8217;s been assisted by Courtney Tascoe-Burris, 23, the daughter of Oakland attorney John Burris, who is working as an advisor to Ross and Campbell.

&#8220;Even if Hasanni is no longer with us, it doesn&#8217;t mean he doesn&#8217;t deserve to come back for a proper burial,&#8221; said Tascoe-Burris, who Miller says she met at a vigil for Campbell.

Tascoe-Burris may try to organize searches in Oakland parks as well. &#8220;We think that everywhere needs to be searched,&#8221; she said.

As of Friday evening it was unclear whether the Oakland Police Department or Alameda County Sheriff&#8217;s Department will participate in the lake dive; officials could not be reached for comment. The Fremont Police Department will not participate, according to Lieutenant Mark Devine. &#8220;This is an Oakland case,&#8221; said Devine, declining further comment.

&#8220;I&#8217;m just trying to find this boy,&#8221; said Miller, who hopes to start a nonprofit group to combat youth violence.

Miller believes this missing child case is an example of a culture that has lost its ability to care for children. &#8220;For them to be losing their lives out here, whether they&#8217;re kidnapped, whether they&#8217;re murdered, whether they&#8217;re beaten to death, it&#8217;s a tragedy,&#8221; said Miller.

Sherri-Lyn Miller, owner of the All In One Stop print shop, talks on the phone with a volunteer for Saturday's search for five-year-old Hassani Campbell.

Keep Hasanni Campbell probe going strong
Friday, September 4, 2009
<snipped>
If ever there were a police investigation worthy of special attention and treatment, it's the unexplained disappearance of 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell.

The Fremont boy, who has cerebral palsy and wears braces on his legs, has been missing for nearly a month, and investigators aren't buying the explanation provided by foster parents Louis Ross and Jennifer Campbell.

Now, acting Police Chief Howard Jordan admits his department simply doesn't have the resources to keep shining as bright an investigative spotlight on the case.

But despite the backlog of unsolved homicide cases and more deaths every week, authorities need to find a way to keep a full-time investigator on Hasanni's case. On Thursday, officials in Alameda County and San Francisco added to the reward money, bringing the pot to $60,000 for information leading to finding the boy.

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.

My hope is the department will do more than that in this case.

In the meantime, Oakland's acting police chief believes the involvement of federal authorities and other law enforcement agencies means the case will remain a high priority, he added.

If there is one thing that everyone agrees on, from the detectives looking for clues to the foster father who says he was with him shortly before he disappeared, Hasanni Campbell did not simply vanish into thin air.

No clues in search for missing Fremont boy

A massive volunteer search effort in Fremont on Saturday for Hasanni Campbell did not turn up any clues in the disappearance of the 5-year-old who went missing Aug. 10.
But it did give the organizers and the 124 volunteers who covered numerous areas in Fremont renewed hope that the Fremont boy is alive.

"It gave us hope that we're looking for a live, breathing, walking child," organizer Sherri Miller said.

Teams set out to search for Hasanni in Fremont
Sunday, September 6, 2009
<snipped>
They found a wheelbarrow. They found a suspiciously soft section of earth. And they found an old bag of marijuana.

But the 124 volunteers who swept through Fremont's 450-acre Central Park and explored Lake Elizabeth on Saturday did not find Hasanni Campbell, the 5-year-old Fremont boy who was last seen in early August.

"No news is good news," said Sherri-Lyn Miller, a San Leandro print-shop owner who organized the search and draped everyone in bright yellow "Hasanni Campbell Search Team" T-shirts.

Not finding him meant he could still be alive, she said.

Among the volunteers were some 20 orange-vested search experts from the nonprofit group San Jose Search and Rescue who accompanied the civilians and also scanned the shoreline of the 83-acre lake in rubber Zodiac boats. Jeff Emanuel, a diver, spent hours paddling about the murky, 7-foot-deep lake inhabited by trout, catfish, carp and some turtles.

2nd Headline:
Dozens of volunteers
The volunteers who gave up their Saturday to search for the missing boy knew that finding him would be a long shot. The park was chosen not because of any tip or clue, but because it was located in the same town where Hasanni lived. Yet dozens felt compelled to join in.

"I wouldn't rest if something like that happened to my son," said Reginald Page of East Palo Alto, clutching the hand of his son, 4-year-old A'mmani, as they waited for instructions on how to proceed. An articulate boy with long eyelashes, A'mmani made the volunteers laugh when Miller asked what he would do if he found Hasanni.

"I'm gonna make a lot of money!" he sang out.

He'd heard about the $60,000 reward.

The Page family was assigned to Group 10, a dozen or so people that included Patricia Newell of Dublin and her 15-year-old daughter, Daizshia.

"I want to teach her empathy and sympathy for others," Newell said. "If it happened to me, I'd want people to help me find my child."

Group 10 was dispatched to a marshy section called Stivers Lagoon Nature Area that had a meandering creek with plenty of footbridges to peer under and tall reeds to push aside in search of anything suspicious: A big bag. Children's garments. A toy.

Shortly into the search, Agnes Maez noticed something strange. The retired office manager from Hayward had stepped on a section of earth that felt different from the rest of the creekside path.

3rd Headline:
Spongy ground
"The area's soft and spongy," she told her friend Dee Fairfax, a retired accounting supervisor. "It feels hollow under here."

A San Jose Search and Rescue volunteer hurried over. Many of the trained experts won't give out their names. But his orange vest read "Klopper." He tapped the area with his foot, then called for backup.

"Do you think this is normal or hollow?" he asked another searcher in an orange vest, "O'Malley." After inspection, O'Malley said he thought it was probably normal.

"I'm going to say it's normal too," Klopper said.

4th Headline:
'Incredible' turnout

Miller, the organizer, said she was thrilled with the turnout - more than twice the number she expected.

"It's incredible!" she said, adding that the search will now expand to Oakland.

Neither of Hasanni's foster parents participated in Saturday's search. Louis Ross has said his foster son, who has cerebral palsy and wears braces on his legs, was kidnapped outside a shoe store in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood on Aug. 10. Police say they don't believe the story, but lack evidence to charge Ross or Jennifer Campbell, Hasanni's aunt and foster mother with a crime.

Hassani Campbell Search Organizers Holding Vigil
Sep 7, 2009 4:17 pm US/Pacific
<snipped>
Event organizers who led a civilian search in Fremont this weekend for missing 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell are holding a vigil for him in Oakland Monday evening.

More than 100 civilian volunteers, including the San Jose Search and Rescue Team and the Newark Community Emergency Response Team, searched Lake Elizabeth Central Park in Fremont, according to event organizer Sherri-Lyn Miller.

The case is now being treated as a homicide instead of a missing person case, so the civilian searchers said they were relieved not to find Hasanni's body at Lake Elizabeth.

"We didn't find Hasanni here and that is good news for us," Miller said. "Now we can go to Oakland and focus on the area where it was reported he disappeared."

Miller added that the search party's main goal was to eliminate Lake Elizabeth as a site where Hasanni could be. She said there will be a vigil for Hasanni every Monday night until he is found, starting Monday night.

The vigils will be held at 6:30 p.m. at College Avenue Presbyterian Church, located at 5951 College Ave. in Oakland's Rockridge area.

Search Organizers Hold Vigil For Missing Boy

On Monday night, about two dozen people gathered for a prayer vigil in honor of missing Fremont five-year-old Hassani Campbell at the College Avenue Presbyterian Church.

It has now been four weeks since the five-year old was reported missing from the Rockridge neighborhood in oakland.

Hasanni's foster father Louis Ross and foster mother Jennifer Campbell attended the service.

This past Saturday, more than 100 civilian volunteers, including the San Jose Search and Rescue Team and the Newark Community Emergency Response Team, searched Lake Elizabeth Central Park in Fremont, according to event organizer Sherri-Lyn Miller.

The case is now being treated as a homicide instead of a missing person case, so the civilian searchers said they were relieved not to find Hasanni's body at Lake Elizabeth.

Miller added that the search party's main goal was to eliminate Lake Elizabeth as a site where Hasanni could be. She said there will be a vigil for Hasanni every Monday night until he is found, starting Monday night.

Another search for the missing Fremont boy is planned for this Saturday. Organizers said this time they'll focus their efforts on the Rockridge neighborhood where his foster father reportedly last saw him.

Another search for Hasanni Campbell planned for Sunday
Posted: 09/09/2009 05:27:30 PM PDT
<snipped>
Organizers are planning another search for 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell, the disabled Fremont boy who was reported missing a month ago.

Sherri Miller, who has been at the helm of the search effort from the start, said she has 150 people signed up to search the Rockridge neighborhood, Lake Temescal, Lake Merritt and various neighborhoods leading to the Berkeley Marina on Sunday.

"We plan to go door-to-door in Rockridge and then search for him in a two-mile radius," said Miller, owner of All in One Stop print shop in San Leandro. Miller has donated thousands of fliers and T-shirts with Hasanni's picture on them since he was reported missing Aug. 10 by his foster father, Louis Ross.

Miller said volunteers for Sunday should meet at noon at the College Avenue Presbyterian Church, 5951 College Ave., in Oakland.

In addition of donations of food for the volunteers, Miller said she needs 10,000 fliers by Saturday and is asking print shops to donate them.

"We need money or the big printing companies to step up and help," she said. To help, call Miller at 510-276-9090.

Miller said she also is trying to set up a fundraising event at James Leitch Elementary School in Fremont, where Hasanni is registered for the first grade, on his sixth birthday, Sept. 24.

The boy's younger sister will not be returning to the couple and remains in protective custody while the police department's homicide investigation is ongoing. The case switched from a missing-person case to a homicide case late last month. Police subsequently arrested Ross and Campbell, 30, but Alameda County prosecutors refused to file criminal charges, and the two were released from jail.

Volunteers plan to scour across Oakland this weekend to search for a 5-year-old disabled boy who has been missing for a month.
Organizer Sherri-Lyn Miller says dozens are expected to help in the search on Sunday for Hasanni Campbell.

Hasanni was reported missing on Aug. 10 by his foster father, Louis Ross.

Ross said he briefly left the boy outside his car in the parking lot of a shoe store where his fiancee and Hasanni's foster mother, Jennifer Campbell, works.

Ross said when he returned the boy, who has cerebral palsy, was gone.

No signs of boy found in Lake Elizabeth: Search galvanizes community but reveals no clues
September 5, 2009 &#8211; 8:00 pm
<snipped>
Hassani Campbell&#8217;s 16-year-old aunt, Trinity Campbell, attended the search, but the boy&#8217;s foster parents, Louis Ross and Jennifer Campbell, were not present. The Oakland Police Department arrested the couple on August 28 on suspicion of murder, but the Alameda County District Attorney&#8217;s office declined to press charges, citing insufficient evidence.

Oakland Attorney John Burris, who has acted as a legal advisor to the couple, says officers abused their power by arresting them without probable cause.

His former wife, Tascoe-Burris, and her daughter Courtney, a paralegal who works for John Burris, helped launch the search for Campbell because the boy may still be alive, Tascoe-Burris said, adding that the five-year-old still deserves a chance of being found.

Tascoe-Burris, a doctor who runs an Oakland wellness center in conjunction with her religious work, said her interest in finding Campbell has nothing to do with her ex-husband&#8217;s role in the case. The two often work on the same community issues simply because they both have an interest in social justice, she said. &#8220;John and I just happen to have portfolios of work that serve the good of the community, and that serve a parallel course,&#8221; said Tascoe-Burris.

Another Search for Hassani Campbell
Posted: Sunday, 13 September 2009 8:58AM
<snipped>
Another massive search party is being assembled to check around Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood for a 5-year-old Hassani Campbell, reported missing more than a month ago, and organizers say there is hope he will be found alive.

About 150 people, made up of regular citizens from all over the East Bay was led by Shari Miller, a printing business owner from San Lorenzo.

"Right now the best move is the volunteers coming out and keep looking for this little boy," she said. "We need to assist the officials, the family, the community in any way we can to bring this little boy home."

It was August 10th when Louis Ross reported Hassani missing while Ross was dropping off his foster daughter with his fiance in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood. The boy was reportedly left in the car, and Ross says when he returned a few minutes later, the boy was gone.

Police are certain that this is a homicide case and arrested Ross and his fiance, Jennifer Campbell, two weeks ago. They had to let them go, though, when the DA said he didn't have enough evidence to file charges.

Miller says her job is to separate herself from the investigation, and focus on the little boy with cerebral palsy and leg braces.

UPDATED: Missing 5-Year-Old's Clothes Possibly Unearthed In Oakland
Posted: 2:23 pm PDT September 13, 2009
Updated: 6:26 pm PDT September 13, 2009
<snipped>
About one o'clock Sunday afternoon, volunteers searching a hillside near the end of Chabot Road in Oakland found at least one item of clothing, which they and Oakland police say appears to be similar to one Hasanni was wearing before he disappeared.

&#8220;We were walking and we saw some clothes and we picked it up and it was a small sweatshirt," said one volunteer who asked that we not use her full name.

Police say the volunteers searchers found a small gray sweatshirt-- described as weather-worn and partially buried in the dry, soft dirt at the end of the street.

"It's covered with a lot of dirt. There's grass on it. It's ripped in places,&#8221; said Oakland police Sgt. Bautista. &#8220;We don't really want to handle it, because if there is any evidence, we don't want to contaminate it."

Five-year-old Hasanni Campbell was reported to be wearing a gray sweatshirt and gray pants when he disappeared over a month ago.

Searchers say they found two other items close by, including a red sock and a piece of a gray blanket.

The volunteers called Oakland police officers to the scene-- a sloping hill just beneath the access road connecting Tunnel Road and Highway 24.

As volunteers prayed, Alameda County sheriff's department k-9 units combed the hill for related items.

Investigators say it's too soon to tell whether the sweatshirt is Hasanni's.

"We don't wanna give anybody any false hope or things of that nature,&#8221; said Sgt. Bautista. &#8220;Right now , we're just gonna follow our standard protocol and secure the scene and have the technicians, evidence technicians recover the item. And at some point, we'll determine whether it was his or not."

Marc Klaas of the Klaas Kids Foundation says the search for Hasanni has been hampered by questions about whether his foster father, Louis Ross, is telling the truth about the boy's disappearance outside a Rockridge shoe store a month ago.

"If he's not telling the truth, then we have no idea where the little boy is,&#8221; said Klaas. &#8220;If he is telling the truth, then that almost means somebody picked the little boy up in a car and drove him out very, very quickly."

The woman who found the sweatshirt said this quiet cul-de-sac simply seemed like a logical place to search for signs of the missing boy.

"I knew it was a desolate area and it's not that far from where the kid supposedly went missing,&#8221; the volunteer, who didn&#8217;t want us to use her name, said. &#8220;And I thought, well, surely someone's looked up here because there's all of this space."

Jennifer Campbell-- the boy's foster mother-- declined to talk to KTVU earlier Sunday about the search for Hasanni

The Oakland police department is now examining a grey sweatshirt that may be connected with the search for five-year old Hasanni Campbell.

Two volunteers say they found the child-sized clothing at the end of Chabot Road near the Caldecott Tunnel. The discovery came at about 1:00 p.m. Sunday. The volunteers were part of a larger group searching for Hasanni who disappeared more than a month ago from behind a shoe store in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood.

The child was last seen wearing a grey sweatshirt and grey pants.

Oakland police crime scene investigators are now conducting tests on the sweatshirt. Police and members of the Alameda County Search and Rescue squad have now taped off the area and are conducting a more thorough search.

Stay tuned to KRON 4 and KRON4.com for the latest on this developing story.

Volunteers searching for a missing 5-year-old Fremont youngster have found clothes similar to those Hassani Campbell was wearing on an Oakland street. Volunteer searchers found a grey sweatshirt, red sock, and other children's clothes, apparently at the end of Chabot Road, which is a dead end. The search party assembled this morning to check around Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood for Campbell, reported missing more than a month ago, and organizers say there is hope he will be found alive.

About 150 people, made up of regular citizens from all over the East Bay was led by Shari Miller, a printing business owner from San Lorenzo.

UPDATED: Clothing found in Oakland Hills did not belong to Hasanni Campbell
Posted: 09/13/2009 04:05:29 PM PDT
Updated: 09/13/2009 10:41:09 PM PDT

A gray sweatshirt found Sunday in the Oakland Hills did not belong to missing 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell, the boy's foster father said.

"It wasn't the right brand, it wasn't the right shirt; it's not his," Louis Ross, 38, of Fremont, said in brief remarks to the media after viewing the items volunteers found Sunday afternoon on a search for the boy reported missing Aug. 10.

Ross was accompanied by his fiancee, Jennifer Campbell, 33, the boy's biological aunt. They declined to answer additional questions, and were quickly driven from the scene at the end of Chabot Road.

"It's tough on them," said attorney John Burris, who has been counseling the couple. "You want to know and you don't want to know. You don't want confirmation that he's dead. You want to hold out hope, like other families, that he's still alive."

The gray children's sweatshirt was found shortly after 50 people began searching that area Sunday, search organizer Sherri Miller said. The area is slightly more than a mile east from where Hasanni's foster father reported last seeing him.

Volunteers flagged down some police officers. In a preliminary search of the area, those officers found an adult sock and another piece of material nearby. About 30 feet away from the sweatshirt, police found some bones, but later discovered they were from a deer.

Alameda County sheriff's deputies brought out search dogs to further canvass the area, which is just north of Highway 24. The dogs did not find anything, officials said.

The area where the sweatshirt was found had not been searched before by volunteers, Miller said. Police said they had not searched there, either.
