I didn't mean to stop this thread! Has anyone heard any more on the search of the house?

I'm sitting here RR. Waiting for JVM to be over and to hear if NG has any coverage. I haven't seen any news updates yet.

Oh thanks! There were a lot of updates coming through on twitter this morning, but none since then.

NG opening with Sierra tonight.

Great pics and video of Sierra, Crosby in for NG.

Rehashing facts we already now.

Henry Lee: Sierra was supposed to to to high school. Don't know if she is victim of foul play or runaway.

Mother saw her that morning. LE do know that Sierra left her house. Don't know how far she got away from house.

Her mother is saying that Sierra gets up at 6 and mother saw her leave home at 7:15 to catch bus.

(Henry lee and female reporting)

Sherriff: investigation continues, we are releasing info as we get it. We need the publics help. Mother see her about 6 am friday, we know she was at her computer at 6:30 ---after we know she is on her computer we have nothing after that. Mother is last one to see Sierra. Interesting from beginning, report of missing person, no evidence of foul play or that she would run away. (sheriff contradicts report above that she was last seen leaving)

Former principal from previous school: she is normal HS student. A lot of friends and people that cared about her. I wouldn't imagine she would be running away.

Damage to phone may show that phone was thrown from drivers window (didn't catch who said that sorry got a text from daughter).

LE checking also for fingerprints on phone. LE has all phone records and text records, pursuing twitter, facebook.

Lot of texting and phone calls---still checking. No activity at a certain time (sherriff didn't answer specifically---paused as if to check herself while speaking that's JMHO).

Ellie: (phone found 20 feet or so off the road) LE says charger is still at home. Very strange for her not to have phone on her.

She was very social and lots of texts.

(video showing Mom handing out flyers).

Is dad a transient?

RSO are required to notify LE when they move. I wonder if the below statement is true.

The offense against her father is listed as "lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age." It does not list a date for the conviction. His address is listed as a hotel in Fremont, but people there said he has not lived there for months.

Just on TV. Dad has visitation with Sierra (on weekends ... ETA that). LE saying all family cooperating. Question about dad's friends though is not answered.

Said the phone was sent to a "lab". Reporter stated that it was muddy and wet during the time the phone was missing to recovery of said phone. May make it difficult to obtain a print.

There are so many conflicting reports on when Sierra actually left her home. Now they are stating that her mother was home and saw her daughter leave at 715am. She texted a friend at 711am and then walked out the door at 715am...and the dogs don't have her leaving her driveway. So something happened in the minute or two that she was walking out of her house.

Said Sierra wanted to stay with dad when mom moved. Mom wanted her to move with her.

Friend on now. Not dating anyone that the friend knew about. Few girls didn't like her but nothing big. No reason to runaway. Always happy. Music/dance was everything to her.

Stated on TV that NO ONE saw her leave her home.

 

[Inspector Gidget]

Lamar says her daughter wakes up at about 6:00 a.m. most days to get ready for school but doesn't leave the house until about 7:15, in plenty of time to walk in daylight to the bus stop. She says police have told her tracking dogs find Sierra' scent ends at the driveway of the family home.

She says many regular commuters have seen Sierra waiting for the bus in the past.

"They're telling me that they've seen her at the bus stop a lot," Lamar said. "They (police) said something about the scent stopping at the driveway. That tells me she did walk to the bus stop
http://www.kron.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=3472

Why would the mother think she walked to the bus stop after her scent was stopped at the bus stop? I believe she was picked up at the end of the driveway and her phone thrown in that field.I also wonder how she felt about her Mom's boyfriend.

Lady Sheriff is saying they are pulling all surveillance tapes from all around.

Reporter wanted to know if anyone else was pinging off the same tower at the time Sierra was on her phone. Sheriff is looking into that.

This is crazy. It must be reporting. I did see a video of the mom saying she left at 715am. Is her mom just assuming? First her mom wasn't home had already gone to work, then another article says she was home and saw her leave. LE just stated that no one saw her leave and they have no idea if she ever did leave her house.

Think that is a typo/misprint in that article.

I'm just going by what the Sheriff said on TV that no one saw her. Mom said she normally leaves around 7:15 am to walk to the bus pick up.

Mom, dad and mom's boyfriend are cooperating and helping with finding Sierra per Sheriff on NG.
