Hoping Gabriel increases his 98% success rate

I will go to sleep with a smile on my face tonight!

Am I being too optimistic, or does the fact that such a prestigious PI is going to look for Gabriel mean that maybe the PI believes Gabe is still alive?

Good question. I understand that the family might not want to solicit donations online because there have been a lot of questionable cases of people doing this, but in this case I think it would be a very good idea. I don't think anyone would question their motives if a family website were created for Gabriel with a paypal donate button. Especially now that they will be incurring such a big expense with the PI.

Wow, if this is Sr. he has his own action figure. This guy is awesome. He worked for Marlon Brando in 1972 and found his kidnapped son. I'm so glad Logan has a PI.

Gives me another boost of hope!!!!!!! Gabe I hope you are on your way home to your Daddy soon!

Actually, I don't care if he is in it for attention. This case needs more exposure. I read where he said he had 98% success in kidnapping cases. I hope he can deliver.

I don't think this man has ever done anything for notoriety. As far as I know he's the real deal, a humble man with amazing skills and a heart as big as the
State of Texas. I seriously doubt we will ever hear a peep from him until he finds Gabriel and I have every confidence, He Will Find Gabriel.

I feel the same way. Have you noticed nothing is really in the media yet about him taking the case (just the vid that was orginally posted)?

I also believe it is highly unlikely that he will speak publicly about the case...or any case, really.

Momtective - you forgot mind like a steel trap...he's incredibly sharp.

More on Gabriel's PI!!! Bring him home!

PHOENIX, ARIZ.-- Police and the FBI have been searching for a 9-month old Tempe baby for more than a month with no luck, and now a world famous investigator is offering his help for free.

Jay J. Armes, otherwise known as "The Investigator," has been finding missing people for 40 years. He was made famous for finding Marlon Brando's son in the 70's.

Armes sometimes charges up to $1 million a case, but for baby Gabriel Johnson, he and his team are offering to do it for free.

"Because of the way it happened and the way the girl started lying from the beginning," Armes told ABC15 on a phone interview from Texas. "At first she had given it to a couple, and then she didn't know who the couple were. The harder the cases are, the more challenging they are to me."

Meanwhile, Gabriel's father, Logan McQueary, is getting his own team together to retrace Elizabeth Johnson's steps. They plan to make a road trip to Texas, passing out flyers along the way, and searching for any possible places Johnson may have spent the night before reaching San Antonio.

"We have not started a homicide case, we are still considering it as a missing person case," said San Antonio Police Chief William McManus.

Like San Antonio Police and McQueary, Armes still believes Gabriel is alive, though Johnson will not cooperate with authorities.

"There's got to be a reason why she's throwing everybody off," said Armes.

Armes said he thinks Gabriel was "adopted underground," and that he and his team have recovered hundreds of children who went missing in such arrangements around the world.

The investigator said he solves cases by following every lead, like the rumor that a woman on the other side of the country adopted a baby named Gabriel the same day Gabriel Johnson went missing.

Armes said another key to his success is tough interrogations and deeper probes of "persons of interest," like Jack and Tami Smith, who were friends with Elizabeth and had hoped to adopt Gabriel.

"I think there's something there," said Armes about the Smiths. "Where there's smoke, there's fire, and I think they should be doing a background on them since the day they were born."

McQueary said he has not agreed to work with Armes yet, but does plan to meet with him in the near future.

Snipped from above article....I am not surprised.

Good for him!!! I think it's very possible this is the key to finding Gabriel. The Smith's have never been upfront, that's just not right when there is a baby missing and there was sooooooo much that went on right after that fight Elizabeth had with Logan on Dec 8th. I don't think their 'involvement' basically ended on the 18th.

I am calling it a night on this positive note. As always, I hope to return to the greatest news of all in the morning. I'll be praying for you little guy, tonight and forever. <3

I am so glad the PI has offered to help find Gabriel for free. I can't believe his generosity. I feel like emailing him and giving him my thanks. I have been feeling so hopeless, like the police were at a deadend and the only option left was to search landfills. This is the best news I've had all day. I hope LM jumps at the offer but I can't see him turning it down. This guy is like a godsend.
