Deceased/Not Found CA - Sierra LaMar, 15, Morgan Hill, 16 March 2012 #16 *A. Garcia-Torres guilty*

sierra's mom said things found in the car give her hope

Nurse, I think she said things NOT found in car give her hope. I am thinking that means a great deal of blood from Sierra was not found. This is heartbreaking.

Actually she said things NOT found in the car.

Maybe she means blood?

 

[Lava]

It sounds like maybe they have the DNA evidence to prove he was with Sierra after she disappeared, but don't really have anything in regards to her being dead?

GAwd My heart is broken hearing Marlene

Right but to prove death without a body...there would have to be a lot of blood or something like the "death band" hair thing, i.e. some physical evidence, or the passage of time, usually. :seeya:

Or an HRD dog hit on the car.

 

[KrazyKatLadi]

I'm wondering that since her inhaler was found, she died from an asthma attack?

 

[cocomod]

I am hoping that the wife of the suspect has a conscience and will help LE with any and all information that she can come up with that might help to find Sierra. I imagine that she is devistated as well. I sincerely HOPE that she is not involved too; although it is unlikely, we do know that it does happen. I also hope that he has some other family members that will cooperate with LE .

Thank you to everyone who is live transcribing for those of us who are unable to watch/listen right now!

This is simply heartbreaking news. Every parent's worst nightmare come true.

Conflicting news reports regarding whether he worked at Safeway. Booking photo looks like a red polo. Do Safeway store employees wear red?

Regular employees wear a red polo shirt. Management wears white dress shirt with red Safeway tie.

3 assaults: Tazer, knife, and one girl locked her car door to prevent him from entering her car. One of them has been linked to him.

Thank you. We need to remember Only ONE has been linked to him. Bolded above needs to be remembered. jmo

He's married?! I would die if I found out my husband was arrested for something like this.

That is exactly how I understood it too Lava! They are basing it off of her not being in contact with friends or loved ones, her personal belongings being found, and the fact that they know that he took her.

It really doesn't sound like they have anything definitive except years of working on cases like these to come to the conclusion that she is dead. Unfortunately, I think that they are right. Why would he keep her alive unless he sold her?

 

[Foxymona]

Did I hear right- that the clothes in the bag WERE the ones she was wearing that day??

 

[Lava]

Or an HRD dog hit on the car.

I'm not sure they can actually convict just on that. Its possible, I guess it depends on the prosecutor and jury. I would think that they would at least need blood, a statement, a weapon...something more.

 

[Isabelle]

public safety was why they arrested him

Did LE say they were surveilling him since March 28??!!

I would want the first shot at him!

Yes.

No I believe you need the actual DNA profile of WHO died.

the way she was talking at the start they were looking at him for all three..

 

[twall]

yes, I wonder if he knew or is he that dumb to not know he was being followed for weeks before his arrest?
