oh my look at that 1 pix of JE in stripped shirt........diabolical looking

What did Tina Smith see in this jerk???

 

[sam24]

they are deliriously happy!! just like all of us!!

 

[Japandaaa]

I don't know about anyone else but this freaking case needs to be used as an example as to why a NATIONWIDE Amber Alert should go out in all 52 states when a child is abducted.

Amen !

I just said this EXACT thing to my mother.

 

[KaylynnCouture]

Still won't reveal how Tina died.

That's concerning. Why can't they say?

Bringing fwd from page 1 where I first posted it. The store was the La Playa Safeway which is in the Richmond District (which is where he was booked). It is down by the Great Highway, The Cliff House and Golden Gate Park

Faust (FBI): thanking LE, NCMEC, Chief Lavender, etc. Good leadership.

 

[epiphany]

confirmed Safeway

omg!! per LE on the TV just said they don't know if JE is being charged with murder! OH GOD. Do you think Brittany did it?

It'll come in time. I'm sure they'll wait until he is back in VA for it to happen. No way he can't be charged...<modsnip>.

SAFEWAY store

 

[WillenFan21]

Found in Safeway Retail Store in San Fran per Nancy Grace saying they have confirmed that is where she was found.

 

[matou]

Seen in a Safeway and the clerk called it in when they were recognized.

I have to say THANK the LORD may BS's healing begin. After all the heart breaking tragedy's of late right now all I can say is A Christmas miracle for her family and for all of us at WS's for the first time in quite awhile I cry tears of joy. Tomorrow I will again mourn the lose of her beautiful mother but tonight I cry in happiness for the reunion of Brittnay and her family.

Merry Christmas to all!!!!!! Praise the Lord!!!!

Party atmosphere when she was located.
Stopped along way to SF? Been there all week? Don't know. No timeline yet.

This tells me that LE knows that BS was not involved in her mother's murder and was in fact abducted. I don't think it would be a party atmosphere if her being found was also cloudy by her involvement and the fact that she is talking, and he said a family member probably will escort her home also goes to LE knowing she was not an active player.

I hope I'm not wrong in my opinion.

 

[impatientredhead]

That's concerning. Why can't they say?

He hasn't been questioned yet.
If he knows how she died when it hasn't been released that can used against him. They have no reason to tell the public yet, and shouldn't.

Lt Mason...

Phone call you received? In command ctr when a calltaker at phone bank hollered his name across room, put him in touch with someone with SF PD. Believed they had JE and BS. Brief conversation confirmed details. Things happened quickly thereafter.

 

[KR2tonenow]

Way to go-SF!!~

 

[illeKllaH]

That's concerning. Why can't they say?

Good question. Probably waiting to talk to him, I would assume. The grandmother has said that LE wouldn't tell them anything but they knew Tina was beaten.

He was very short on the answer. It was like:

Now that B is safe, will you disclose how TS was killed?
NO.

 

[KaylynnCouture]

Sending 2 detectives to escort Brittany back to VA. 2 detectives will also go to interview BS and JE.

 

[belimom]

Did you think phone call was false siting? No. They already had pretty good details - clear they had the right people.

Altered appearance? Don't know.

Did they ID....(missed it)? yes, that was part of it.

Chief:

2 LE will escort BS back, 2 LE will escort JE back.

The store in question is the La Playa Safeway, which is in the Richmond District (which is where he was booked). It is near the Great Highway and Golden Gate Park is right there (where I'm guessing the tent was, it's close and they wouldn't stand out.
