News reports said that he was questioned three times (as of last night) and her sister posted something about they had him but let him leave the police station. I don't think he is in custody, yet.
Claire, did they use his name?

Did anyone call the tip in about his facebook, they can use that to hold him and charge him with a violation.. please tell me you guys did?
If his name is being used in relationship to her disappearance in the MSM, I think we can sped some more time discussing him.
According to her sister, Mendez was “worried” and “freaked out” about that man, who is being questioned by police. The Mendez family also says the man is a “known sex offender.” His name has not been released.
It is illegal to use the sex offender register information to harass anyone. We would never condone this at Websleuths.
It is not illegal (in my opinion) if when a child goes missing or is harmed we look at the sex offenders in the area and post their information, along with maps to show how close they live to the victim.
In every case we have local people reading and posting here. Therefore we are within the guidelines using this info for local information.
MSM is not naming him yet. This was posted 12 minutes ago...

There is a missing poster going around on FB with three different pictures of this guy...i wish we could post it. It has his whole name and the pictures have three different looks of him.

When I saw him the next morning it was gone -- the rug cut out. That's telling me something is not right there," Steven Mendez said.
