Still Missing CA - Orson & Orrin West (3&4), California City, 21 Dec 2020 #6 *both parents arrested/charged*

Just as an aside, I have always felt it telling that there are no pictures other than the original pictures which were over a year old when they were first released. With everyone having a camera phone, pictures, especially of kids doing cute things, are easy to take. Did they have any social media? Did they never share pictures with family?

That's a great point and a question we've all been asking for almost a year now. December 21, 2021 will be a year, will BPD be filing charges soon?

Where are the boys?

The main players in this very sad case have been mighty quiet....

Amateur opinion and speculation

This case has worried me from the very start. I cant put my finger on it as such.

Also I commend all the prayer vigils these boys have had, such a shame.

 

[TheLoadedGoat]

Praying for Orrin and Orson's safe return.

The boys should be getting ready for Christmas…

sending their wish lists to Santa, looking forward to opening presents, playing with new toys along with their siblings on Christmas morning.

Where are Orson and Orrin??

Somewhat OT, but show us what holiday book you would read to Orrin & Orson!

I'd start with

How Santa Got His Job by Stephen Krensky

Santa works for the Post Office -- but he wants to work overnight, & is just too fast.
Then he gets a job at the zoo -- the reindeer follow him home....

jmho ymmv lrr

I'll go with The Not Very Merry Pout-Pout Fish by Deborah Diesen.

Swim along with Mr. Fish on his holiday shopping quest. He might just discover that the best gifts of all come straight from the heart.

This a great update from Bayan Wang. Some things that jumped out at me:

Several searches out of state.
Equusearch is helping.
4 more search warrants (since the last update).

What do yall make of the out of state searches ? Did LE get info from "tech" that adoptive parent or parents went out of state at important parts of the timeline ?

MISSING BOYS UPDATE: Bakersfield Police have executed 4 more search warrants, interviewed 33 more people, conducted 11 more mass area searches, and four out-of-state searches as of December 13, for missing toddler brothers Orrin and Orson West, who were 3 and 4-years-old at the time when their adoptive parents reported them missing out of their California City home on Dec 21, 2020. These are updated figures to the investigation. Here are the numbers from June, when BPD released the previous figures -- 83 people interviewed, 44 search warrants, 170 items seized for investigating, 16 mass area searches and three searches out of state. As of today, the adoptive parents' other four children remain in CPS custody. No suspect has been formally identified and no one has been arrested. BPD is continuing to work with "FBI, Texas EquuSearch, NCMEC, California City Police Department and Kern County District Attorney's Office" on this case.

Is TEQ helping in the out of state searches? Six more days and it's been a year - Where are the Boys?!!!

Thank you for the update! I check here everyday. When I posted yesterday, it had been more than a week since someone posted and I just want to keep these boys in our hearts and minds and prayers. So glad to know this case is still being worked.

Almost a full year. Complete silence. Where are the boys?!

Only 4 more search warrants in 6 months? No charges even for neglect?? Color me unimpressed, Kern County. Color me UNIMPRESSED!!

Texas Equusearch glad you’re on board. If you need ideas or a wish list of questions for involved parties, come give us a shout.

Yeah, go figure it, Jana Duggar has to go to court for a child who escaped the compound. The Wests lost TWO children, vanished. Zero charges.

Where is the logic?

We have zero knowledge what direction the BPD investigation is centered on. Were the boys sold, killed, given away to someone out of state? How complicated could it be?
My frustration is mounting at the time this is taking, but I'll wager once all the details become public - it will be clear why.

While I understand the police have to keep their cards close to their chest there really doesn't appear to be much happening. Such a frustrating case
