Family, deputies search Santa Clara County for missing teen

KTVU.com

I've been reading her twitter page...

omg  ::MonkeyEek::

So many things made me cringe, maybe I'm just old fashioned.

But there's talk about drugs for sure among other things that imo could be cause for concern.

If I were her parent, she's missing, and I read all that...I'd be extremely worried; and wondering where to even start!  Wonder if anyone was paying attention to the things she's been posting.

I hope they find her, and she's safe!

All day Saturday search teams probed the creeks and fields near the Lamar home and scanned for clues from above in the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department helicopter.

"We've flown most of these fields, as far as the eye can see in this direction, all the way up to the foothills on the west side as well," said San Jose Sheriff Sgt. Brett Moore.

Working off her scent, police dogs have traced Sierra's half mile long walk to her bus stop, but the trail goes cold beyond her driveway, suggesting she was picked up.

Investigators are mining her laptop for recent contacts.

Sunday, Mar 18, 2012  |  Updated 11:14 AM PDT

he Santa Clara Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in locating a missing Morgan Hill teenager who was last seen leaving for school Friday morning.

I've read through her Tweets too and yes, an adult should have looked at them but they weren't as bad as they could be though.  She seems well versed in weed, pills and alcohol or she could be acting, I dunno. Now a days if they're talking the talk they are usually walking the walk.  Very pretty girl and I do hope she just ran away!

In this article it states she usually catches the bus before dawn!  I have often thought before dawn pick ups were so unsafe.  Wonder if she is the only rider at this stop.  I don't know her parents working status but I have never ever let my child wait for a bus alone nor get off without his Dad, me or the sitter when younger! There are cases where it has to be done but today their is no safe place for a child.  I only hope they are able to ping her phone some.

I tend to agree with Klaas. It would appear she was following her normal routine, one that a predator could have easily followed.

From reading her Twitter posts earlier, I think Fremont is where she used to live.

Her posts said she'd moved from there to Morgan Hill this school year.

Oh no!  That doesn't sound good.  Hopefully, she ditched herself...but doesn't sound likely.  If she use to live there then maybe she left with someone that she knows...

Oh no!  Is this a different phone find?  Wasn't the other phone reported being found in Fremont, where she lived prior to Morgan Hill?  This is NOT sounding good.  Prayers for you Sierra and her family.

Hmmm...I wonder if she crossed paths with a girl that she had problems with...I am not familiar with slang...but doesn't that mean she is ready to "throw down."

So um like... Where the f**k is my bus cuz its cold
 
This post made me think she was posting to her twitter from where the bus picks her up, so maybe she posted that as she was leaving to go to the bus pickup point?

In reading more about the phone on different twitters last night, it was mentioned that the phone that was found was in a field and they suggested maybe someone had thrown it out while driving down the road?  I'm wondering if the location was in the general direction of Freemont and that is why they extended the search to there?

It is confusing why some were posting that Sierra's mother didn't recognize the phone.  I was thinking today maybe her chip was taken out of her phone and put in another phone before getting rid of it...if someone knew the ping would be tracked?  I don't know why they would do that unless maybe her phone was a better phone and they wanted it, but wanted to get rid of the  chip that could be tracked?  Just a thought...

There were several comments about police talking to some friends of Sierra's, and a private investigator asking for a list of the top five people Sierra talks to the most.

And a few more comments about whether or not the phone was hers...looks to me like some think it is...and some maybe not.

In this article it states she usually catches the bus before dawn!  I have often thought before dawn pick ups were so unsafe.  Wonder if she is the only rider at this stop.  I don't know her parents working status but I have never ever let my child wait for a bus alone nor get off without his Dad, me or the sitter when younger! There are cases where it has to be done but today their is no safe place for a child.  I only hope they are able to ping her phone some.

In your above link, it says that she left her house at 6:00am that day when she went missing. When I looked at her tweet on the 16th, it says she tweeted at 6:29am. Where was she?

So um like... Where the f**k is my bus cuz its cold

 
This post made me think she was posting to her twitter from where the bus picks her up, so maybe she posted that as she was leaving to go to the bus pickup point?

In reading more about the phone on different twitters last night, it was mentioned that the phone that was found was in a field and they suggested maybe someone had thrown it out while driving down the road?  I'm wondering if the location was in the general direction of Freemont and that is why they extended the search to there?

It is confusing why some were posting that Sierra's mother didn't recognize the phone.  I was thinking today maybe her chip was taken out of her phone and put in another phone before getting rid of it...if someone knew the ping would be tracked?  I don't know why they would do that unless maybe her phone was a better phone and they wanted it, but wanted to get rid of the  chip that could be tracked?  Just a thought...

There were several comments about police talking to some friends of Sierra's, and a private investigator asking for a list of the top five people Sierra talks to the most.

And a few more comments about whether or not the phone was hers...looks to me like some think it is...and some maybe not.

But look at this....... On the day she went missing, the last tweet was at 6:29am via the web. That means she was on a computer. NOT on her cell phone.

The March 13th call at 7:31am at the bus stop says via txt which means she was using her cell phone.

So, why were the parents saying she left at 6:00am? That message the day she left was from a computer. Not a cell phone. Her bus appears to pick her up at approximately 7:30am?

Interesting sassi...very good observation about her last message on that day coming from a computer.  So, that is a good question...why did the parents say that she left for the school bus at around 6am?  Or was it just worded wrong and they left around 6am...expecting her to leave soon after?  Hopefully, that will be touched on.  Have we found out who all lives in the home?

Video of Mom and Sis talking about Sierra.  Okay, I expect rotten nanner peelins' to be thrown at me and yes, we all act different in stressful situations...but these two aren't shedding a tear or begging for her return!!!  WTFlock?  We all know how we would be if our dtr had vanished!  Now I am thinking there is an older boyfriend in the picture.  In the video it says she went missing after leaving "Mom's" home to catch the bus leading me to think Mom and Dad are divorced or Mom had lived in that home before Sierra did.  It doesn't say that and I am only drawing my own conclusions.  Would love to know the living situation in her former town.  Did they all move in that home together, I wonder?  Ignore me, I'm rambling!  Sowy!  I haven't read every article so maybe I need to go do that now!

Officers spent hours searching on foot and from a helicopter over the weekend for any sign of the girl, but found few clues other than her cell phone.

Searchers said they found the phone along the side of the road near Sierra's home near Palm and Dougherty avenues as if it were tossed from a vehicle.

Thanks Sassifras!

Twitter and posting there are things I'm not very familiar with at all, as you can probably tell.

I realize this may be a silly question, hoping I won't need to dodge nanners.   :lol:

Could someone access the internet with their cell phone and post a tweet causing the "via the web" distinction?  I'm asking because I know you can text to twitter, but if you are looking at your twitter page on your cell phone can you also post to your page from your cell within that same window?

Not that it even matters, just wondering.

Search for missing Morgan Hill teen continues
Monday, March 19, 2012

MORGAN HILL, Calif. (KGO) -- Santa Clara County Sheriff's investigators are visiting a high school this morning hoping for clues in the case of a missing teenager.

15-year-old Sierra LaMar was last seen Friday morning on her way to Sobrato High School in Morgan Hill. She left for school, but never made it to class. Investigators planned to conduct more than two dozen interviews on campus to gather more information about what they are officially calling a missing persons case.

"I'm just worried. I'm worried for her," Sierra's mom Marlene LaMar told ABC7. "I love you so much Sierra. Your family and your friends are really worried about you," she urgently pleaded through her tears.

"We can't confirm that she voluntarily ran away, nor can we confirm that there was a crime involved," said Sgt. Jose Cardoza with the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department.

 ::snipping2::

Sierra's mother is extremely concerned by what she said was her daughter's medical condition. "She has asthma, and she doesn't have her inhalers, and I just want her to be safe," she said. She also added that Sierra does not have a history of running away, does not have a boyfriend, and that she and her sister are extremely close. "If you're out there, just come back," she said.

Sierra is described as 5'2" tall with a thin build. She was last seen carrying a black and pink Juicy brand purse.

Sierra's mother is determined to keep the focus on her daughter. In addition to interviewing students, they will be combing through some of Sierra's material for more information including her cell phone and her laptop.

Morgan Hill: Missing girl's cell phone found half-mile from her home

March 19, 2012 8:38 PM GMT Updated:   03/19/2012 01:38:03 PM PDT
 ::snipping2::
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office, which led the weekend search efforts for 15-year-old Sierra Lamar, confirmed this morning that the girl's cell found was discovered Saturday ay 7 p.m. about a half-mile from her house at Dougherty and Palm avenues, according to Sgt. Jose Cardoza

The girl's parents reported her missing Friday when she didn't come home from school.
 ::snipping2::
Sunday, authorities were not sure if she had run away or had possibly been abducted, Cardoza said. Normally there are indications a child planned to run away or the child contacts friends after leaving, Cardoza added.
 ::snipping2::
In this case, they have no evidence showing the girl had a troubled home life or planned to run away and she has not contacted anyone. Further complicating the picture is the lack of a witness, so far, who saw anything indicating she was taken against her will.

Miss Lamar's mother, Marlene Lamar, who is divorced from her father but said to be equally cooperating with police, confirmed the same view about her daughter.

On Sunday police discovered her cell phone a few miles from her home by its electronic ping. Its charger was found in her bedroom.

Her mother had initially called it when her school reported her as not having attended classes but she found that it was turned off, prompting her to notify police that evening.
According to reports from the sheriff's department her mother is the last one known to have seen her at their home she moved into last October.

She took a photo of her daughter on her cell phone before she left Friday morning, capturing her smiling with her tongue out at the camera. That photo has been submitted to police in help of finding her.

At 6am, Miss Lamar had a half-mile walk to the school bus stop ahead of her, but the bus driver claims to have never seen her, nor fellow students. Police dogs also lost her scent at the driveway of her home.

Actually no. Every app, whether it be FB, twitter, etc., recognizes where it came from. Those apps were built and structured to define it's source. So, bottom line, the source of the twitter and/or FB post is what it is. It's either mobile txt or the web (computer).

Btw, you're a great sleuther. You really dig in the details! I always read your post'. I don't use twitter but I've learned if you click on certain things, I find answers. LOL.

Police Find Missing California Teen Sierra LaMar’s Cellphone

Authorities say they found the cellphone of 15-year-old Sierra LaMar, a missing California teenager, late Saturday night on the side of a road about a mile away from her home in Morgan Hills, California. Public information officer Sgt. Jose Cordoza of the Santa Clara Sheriff’s Office said search and rescue personal found the phone turned off, and they are doing a forensic search for more clues.  The charger for the cell phone was found in her room at home.

LaMar was last reported seen by her mother at 6 a.m. before she left for school last Friday morning. Her mother then left for work and did not actually see Sierra leave the house.

Sierra’s father, Steve LaMar, told ABC News he has no reason to believe she was planning on running away. He said there was “nothing out of the ordinary” about her behavior before her disappearance. He spoke to her Thursday evening and she asked him to make an upcoming hair appointment for her.

“I talked to Sierra on the phone Thursday night. She was happy, talking to me about homework. She was asking me to make an appointment so she could dye her hair. She was happy,” LaMar told ABC News.

Sgt. Cordoza told ABC News they are strictly regarding this as a missing person case.

 ::snipping2::

Steve LaMar still lives in Fremont, California, where Sierra lived until October when she moved with her mother and transferred to Sobrata High School in Morgan Hills. The parents are divorced but both have been cooperative throughout the investigation, said police.

 ::snipping2::

Sierra’s father told ABC News she loves listening to music and used to dance competitively. He said was a cheerleader at her old school and loves being around her friends.

Hmmm... that's a bit odd Muffy. If she left at 6am and walked a half mile, tweeted at 6:29am, what happened previously? I use to walk a half mile to school and it only took me 15 minutes.

Maybe she was picked up by a friend, went to their home and tweeted from their computer? Perhaps jokenly, the friend through the phone out and she went to their home, which is when she tweeted?

I don't know, just trying to think like a teenager. Boy, that was a longggg time ago.  ::MonkeyTongue::

I just don't know either Sassi.  We only have bits and pieces of information, and it doesn't seem some of that is confirmed. Like you guys, I've been trying to go through articles to see if there's any tidbits of information that others may not have.  But then sometimes the articles aren't always correct either. Timelines are really important, but there seems to be some slack in the one in this case, at this point, imo.   IKWYM about thinking like a teenager.  It's been a while, to say the least.   ::MonkeyTongue::

In this article it states she usually catches the bus before dawn!  I have often thought before dawn pick ups were so unsafe.  Wonder if she is the only rider at this stop.  I don't know her parents working status but I have never ever let my child wait for a bus alone nor get off without his Dad, me or the sitter when younger! There are cases where it has to be done but today their is no safe place for a child.  I only hope they are able to ping her phone some.

In your above link, it says that she left her house at 6:00am that day when she went missing. When I looked at her tweet on the 16th, it says she tweeted at 6:29am. Where was she?

So um like... Where the f**k is my bus cuz its cold

 
This post made me think she was posting to her twitter from where the bus picks her up, so maybe she posted that as she was leaving to go to the bus pickup point?

In reading more about the phone on different twitters last night, it was mentioned that the phone that was found was in a field and they suggested maybe someone had thrown it out while driving down the road?  I'm wondering if the location was in the general direction of Freemont and that is why they extended the search to there?

It is confusing why some were posting that Sierra's mother didn't recognize the phone.  I was thinking today maybe her chip was taken out of her phone and put in another phone before getting rid of it...if someone knew the ping would be tracked?  I don't know why they would do that unless maybe her phone was a better phone and they wanted it, but wanted to get rid of the  chip that could be tracked?  Just a thought...

There were several comments about police talking to some friends of Sierra's, and a private investigator asking for a list of the top five people Sierra talks to the most.

And a few more comments about whether or not the phone was hers...looks to me like some think it is...and some maybe not.

______________________________

But look at this....... On the day she went missing, the last tweet was at 6:29am via the web. That means she was on a computer. NOT on her cell phone.

The March 13th call at 7:31am at the bus stop says via txt which means she was using her cell phone.

So, why were the parents saying she left at 6:00am? That message the day she left was from a computer. Not a cell phone. Her bus appears to pick her up at approximately 7:30am?

JMO

Thanks Sassifras!

Twitter and posting there are things I'm not very familiar with at all, as you can probably tell.

I realize this may be a silly question, hoping I won't need to dodge nanners.   :lol:

Could someone access the internet with their cell phone and post a tweet causing the "via the web" distinction?  I'm asking because I know you can text to twitter, but if you are looking at your twitter page on your cell phone can you also post to your page from your cell within that same window?

Not that it even matters, just wondering. 

 ::MonkeyConfused::


texasmom:  BBM

Actually no. Every app, whether it be FB, twitter, etc., recognizes where it came from. Those apps were built and structured to define it's source. So, bottom line, the source of the twitter and/or FB post is what it is. It's either mobile txt or the web (computer).

Btw, you're a great sleuther. You really dig in the details! I always read your post'. I don't use twitter but I've learned if you click on certain things, I find answers. LOL.

Thanks for the info, and the compliment Sassifras!   ::MonkeyCool::

Morgan Hill: Missing girl's cell phone found three-quarters of a mile from her home

 ::snipping2::
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office, which led the weekend search efforts for 15-year-old Sierra Lamar, on Monday morning confirmed the girl's cell found was discovered Saturday shortly before 7 p.m. about three-quarters of a mile from her house at Dougherty and Palm avenues, according to Sgt. Jose Cardoza.

Sierra's phone was located at the northeast corner of Scheller Avenue and Santa Teresa Boulevard. Investigators are examining the cell phone and Sierra's computer. They are also interviewing students at Sobrato High School and Fremont's Washington High School, where Sierra attended before transferring to Sobrato last fall.

The sheriff's Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement Task Force is also contacting registered sex offenders living in the south county area to determine where they were at the time Sierra disappeared.

Unless someone stalked her online activity and knew that she would be out there alone, or had seen her waiting for the bus...it didn't look like an area where there would be a lot of traffic.  Workers for the few places I saw on the map possibly, or those that live in the area.  I hope they're checking all of the workers, and knocking on neighbors doors!

If she had been stalked, it seems odd to me that they would pick her up at her driveway...unless they watched from somewhere for her mom to leave...acted lost or something...asking directions?  It just seems grabbing her there, may have left the opportunity for her to run back to the house?  How would they know no one was home to hear her scream?  I'm not sure of this, but one shot I saw of what I think was the house looks like it was at the end of a road.  There was a sign that said "End" in the footage.

IMO, IF it was a stranger abduction; they had to be watching for a while.

Just some thoughts...

I'm really not good with maps, so maybe I don't have this right?

But this is what I come up with, using the street names that were given.

Palm Avenue, Morgan Hill, CA
Dougherty Avenue, Morgan Hill, CA

If this is a true map of the location, it would help to know where the house is.  If the bus picked her up at that intersection, there's nothing there.

I guess if she could cut through a field, that may have served as a shortcut; but it's hard to know what route until I can figure out where the house is.

Police turn to the high school of missing California teen a day after finding her cell phone in a field
March 19, 2012

 ::snipping2::
Miss Lamar's mother, Marlene Lamar, who is divorced from her father but said to be equally cooperating with police, confirmed the same view about her daughter.

On Sunday police discovered her cell phone a few miles from her home by its electronic ping. Its charger was found in her bedroom.

Her mother had initially called it when her school reported her as not having attended classes but she found that it was turned off, prompting her to notify police that evening.
According to reports from the sheriff's department her mother is the last one known to have seen her at their home she moved into last October.

She took a photo of her daughter on her cell phone before she left Friday morning, capturing her smiling with her tongue out at the camera. That photo has been submitted to police in help of finding her.

At 6am, Miss Lamar had a half-mile walk to the school bus stop ahead of her, but the bus driver claims to have never seen her, nor fellow students. Police dogs also lost her scent at the driveway of her home.

Evidence: With that field close to this road, pictured, police suspect it may have been tossed there from a passing car



Hmmm... that's a bit odd Muffy. If she left at 6am and walked a half mile, tweeted at 6:29am, what happened previously? I use to walk a half mile to school and it only took me 15 minutes.

The above statement stands out to me (bold)...how many students SHOULD have been at the bus stop?  The bus drivers states that Sierra was not there nor the other students...I wonder if that occurs often or it was seen as odd?

Something about Alexia is throwing me off. She deleted her original twitter page and started a new one. She doesn't realize that just because you delete it, it stays on the server and on her hard drive.

I think this is her FB page:

Video of Mom and Sis talking about Sierra.  Okay, I expect rotten nanner peelins' to be thrown at me and yes, we all act different in stressful situations...but these two aren't shedding a tear or begging for her return!!!  WTFlock?  We all know how we would be if our dtr had vanished!  Now I am thinking there is an older boyfriend in the picture.  In the video it says she went missing after leaving "Mom's" home to catch the bus leading me to think Mom and Dad are divorced or Mom had lived in that home before Sierra did.  It doesn't say that and I am only drawing my own conclusions.  Would love to know the living situation in her former town.  Did they all move in that home together, I wonder?  Ignore me, I'm rambling!  Sowy!  I haven't read every article so maybe I need to go do that now!
::rhino:: I am right there with you.  Something is way off with those 2.  I wonder if she ran off with a boyfriend and they know it, but reported her missing because it's cheaper than a private search.  I know that's awful to say, but I almost hope it's the case, it would probably have a much better outcome.

Alexis seems to have had her tweet account; yaboilexxer, for a while. What we need to find is when that other Alexis tweet account started. How, I don't know.

That being said...... I think someone was luring Sierra for a while on twitter.

"The cellphone was intact, it wasn't broken," Cardoza said. "There's no evidence to lead to a crime after that."

Cardoza said that while investigators have found no signs of foul play, they have also not seen signs that are common in a runaway situation.

According to Cardoza, there have been no fights at home or any sign that Lamar was unhappy.

"Everything was status quo at home," he said.

Police examine computer, cellphone records of missing California girl Sierra LaMar
Published March 20, 2012


Investigators are poring over computer and cellphone records of a missing California girl in their search for the teen who was last seen early Friday walking to a school bus stop.

Authorities on Monday said they found the cellphone belonging to 15-year-old Sierra LaMar in a field not far from her home in Morgan Hill, Calif., about 25 miles south of San Jose in Santa Clara County.

Fox affiliate KTVU-TV reported Tuesday that police are now examining the phone, a Droid smartphone, as well as the girl's laptop computer, for any clues into her whereabouts.

"We have confirmed that cellphone does belong to Sierra, so we're doing some forensics on that cellphone, trying to get any information we can off that cellphone, as well as her laptop," Santa Clara County Sheriff's Sgt. Jose Cardoza told the station.

Kim Shepard Kirkpatrick I have only known Sierra for about 6 weeks. As her morning and afternoon school bus driver, I liked Sierra the 1st day I met her. Always a smile getting on or off the bus. She thanked me as she walked down the steps, her arms full of textbooks. She seemed so happy and in great spirits. I refuse to believe she just walked out on her life and everyone who loves and cares about her. We need to find and bring her home where she belongs. Please don't stop praying for her safe return.

As the days progress more and more seems to keep coming out about her home life and just who does live there!  Poor Sierra...wonder if the person who accused her Dad was her friend?  Did it cause problems for her? That was a while ago though wasn't it?  I'd like to know just who she did live with before moving to Morgan Hill!

This answers a couple of questions for me:

LaMar moved to Morgan Hill with her mother Marlene and mother’s boyfriend, Rick, about five months ago. On Monday afternoon, Marlene LaMar stood by with Sierra’s father, Steve, cousins Michelle Allee and Keith LaMar and Sierra’s sister Danielle.

She said the bus driver of her bus where she walks to on Dougherty and Palm avenues, did not see her on the bus Friday morning.

“It’s out of character for her to keep us out of the loop,” said Marlene.

Being so close to her sister Danielle, who is home for spring break from Sacramento State University, Marlene said she was looking forward to her sister’s homecoming.

and

LaMar’s cell phone, a Droid smartphone, was found Saturday night in a field on the northeast side of the intersection of Scheller Avenue and Santa Teresa Boulevard, about 20 feet from the side of the road, Santa Clara County sheriff’s Lt. Troy Smith said. That spot is in the opposite direction from which LaMar usually walks to catch a Morgan Hill Unified school bus to go to Sobrato each morning.

I want to know more about Rick, Sierra's mom's boyfriend.

What was his schedule?

Were there times when he was home with Sierra, when mom was not?

It's odd to me that it took four days for us to even know about him!

And we still don't even know his last name!

He lives in the same house with her!

Her scent ended at the driveway, NOT at the bus stop!

They are saying on Nancy Grace that everyone left the house before Sierra that morning.

Did anyone come back?

The family of any missing and/or murdered person is always checked out first.

If Rick has been eliminated as a suspect, when will we know?

If Rick is really part of the family, why hasn't he been on camera with Sierra's mom?

One thing that struck me about Sierra's tweets was how angry she seemed to be about her mom at times.  She said some pretty mean things. 

At first I just wrote it off to her being 15, and semi normal.

But I didn't know about the boyfriend then.

Now, I wonder.

Did something happen that provoked those tweets the day before?

Did he see them, and think she was going to tell?

Her sister's coming home from college for Spring Break, they are very close according to reports...

Sheriff Laurie Smith said on Nancy Grace that ALL of the "ping" information is being obtained and studied from the cell tower in the area near Sierra's home.

Hopefully, that will help to know whose cellphones were pinging off of that tower the morning Sierra disappeared.

Sheriff Laurie Smith also said that Sierra's cellphone is also being examined for fingerprints.

(Hopefully also for DNA!)

One problem is that it was rainy that morning, and the area that the cellphone was found was wet and muddy.

There were also some scratches on the phone, that they don't know if they were there before or not.  So they are looking at those too.

According to information on Nancy Grace:

The charges against Sierra's dad were for a continuing assault.

1998-2004

He was charged with 12 counts of lewd or lascivious behavior with a child under 14.

He plead guilty to one count.

Sentenced to one year in county jail and five years formal probation.



do we know who the acts were against? Was the child his daughter?

Red, I dunno your answer but if Sierra's sis is 18 or 19 (I'm assuming) then from 1998-2004 she would be ages 7-8 up to 11 or 12 which fits in the child under 14 which he is charged with.

Father of missing Morgan Hill girl asks public to focus on search, not his record

By Mark Gomez and Chris DeBenedetti

Bay Area News Group
Posted:   03/21/2012 12:22:29 PM PDT
Updated:   03/21/2012 03:02:34 PM PDT

As the father of a missing Morgan Hill girl pleaded with the community to focus on the search for his daughter and look past his status as a registered sex offender, several law enforcement agencies in Santa Clara County continue to help in finding 15-year-old Sierra LaMar.

The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office has been leading the search since Sierra was reported missing Friday afternoon and has allocated about 75 people to help with the case, according to Sgt. Jose Cardoza. Morgan Hill police, Fremont police and the San Jose Police Department's Internet Crimes Against Children Unit also are helping in the investigation, Cardoza said.

As of Wednesday afternoon, investigators have no new information to designate the case as a missing person or abduction, Cardoza said. The Sheriff's Office is reaching out for anyone in the community to send in tips "big or small that could aid in the investigation."

On Wednesday, Sierra's dad Steve LaMar issued a public statement acknowledging that he is a registered sex offender but asked for the public to focus on helping find his daughter. The Sheriff's Office has said LaMar is not a person of interest in his daughter's disappearance and that he is fully cooperating with authorities.

"I understand the stigma associated with this in my background, and I assure everyone it is not connected in any way to my daughter's disappearance," LaMar said in the statement. "I ask that you please not shift
the focus away from the investigation and from finding Sierra. I also ask that you please not let my past shape your opinion of Sierra or anyone in our family."


LaMar said when his daughter disappeared he immediately told police about his criminal background, " in the interests of openness, truthfulness and cooperation."

Update: Missing Girl's Computer and Cell Phone Offer No Evidence to Her Disappearance

By: Ja'Mein Beale - Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:30:21 -0800
MORGAN HILL (KRON) -- Investigators looking for 15-year old Sierra Lamar say tests run on her cell phone and computer have failed to turn up any new leads to the teen's disappearance.

At the same time police have talked with more than 50 students at Sobrato High School in Morgan Hill where Sierra is now a student and Washigton High School in Fremont where she attended classes last year.  Police say they've also talked to more than 100 family, friends, classmates, neighbors, registered sex offenders registrants, school officials, bus drivers, field workers in the south county area, and transients in the area.

Sierra was last seen last Friday morning when she left home to walk to a bus stop taking her to classes. 

A task force says it's talked with all of the registered sex offenders within a ten mile radius of Sierra's home in Morgan Hill.  They're now focusing on registrants outside that ten mile zone.

Authorities say the County Crime Lab will conduct additional tests on the cell phone found about three-quarters of a mile from the school bus stop where Sierra disappeared last Friday morning.  Fingerprints found on the phone and the computer at her home have failed to turn up new evidence, investigators say.

Police also say they're following up on more than 150 phone and e-mail tips in the case.

Klaas Foundation joins in search for missing teen

Wednesday, March 21, 2012

MORGAN HILL, Calif. (KGO) -- There are new developments in the search for a missing teenager from the South Bay. The Polly Klaas Foundation is now joining the family to help find 15-year-old Sierra LaMar of Morgan Hill, who disappeared last Friday. It's a loss being felt by the entire community.

Sierra's mother has requested the help of Marc Klaas, whose 12-year-old daughter Polly was kidnapped and killed in Petaluma in 1994. He now heads the KlaasKids Foundation.

"We are prepared to offer everything, from support and counseling to full pledged search recovery efforts," said Klaas.

Hundreds gather at vigil for missing Morgan Hill teen

KTVU.com

MORGAN HILL, Calif. — A crowd of 400 concerned adults and tearful teens gathered Tuesday night to attend an emotional candlelight vigil for missing Morgan Hill teenager Sierra Lamar.

The vigil was held at the Morgan Hill Presbyterian church and drew friends of missing 15-year-old Sierra from the two high schools she has attended in the past two years.

During the vigil, Sierra’s anguished mother Marlene called out for her daughter.

I feel guilty because I'm always worried about where she is, said Marlene Lamar. If you can hear me, just realize how much I love you and want you back. I love you and just want you back.

 ::snipping2::

Investigators are also checking up on 276 registered offenders in the area. Sierra's father, Fremont resident Steve Lamar, has a sex crime conviction.

But investigators have already cleared him in his daughter’s disappearance. He was at Tuesday night's vigil and appeared visibly distraught

Sierra we love you and we can't wait for you to come home, said Steve Lamar.

We're not going to give up until she comes home, agreed Sierra’s sister Danielle Lamar.

The sheriff's department continues to classify this as a missing person case, not an abduction. Wednesday will be the sixth day since she vanished.

BBM. What interesting comments from her mother.  Sounds like statements one would make in the hopes that a runaway child would hear them.  No pleas to an abductor either.  And she feels guilty because she always knows where Sierra is.  That doesn't make any sense.  Does she actually feel guilty because they fought that morning or is she trying to make the story about herself rather than Sierra?  All IMO.

If you're always worried about where your child is, you don't find out from an email at 6pm that your child wasn't in school all day.

Unless Sierra had plans for after school that day and wasn't due home until later, someone should have known she was missing before then.

I agree with those who have said, something just doesn't seem right.

In looking around, I think there may be another sibling that hasn't been mentioned too.

Investigators Say No Clues Found After Examining Missing Sierra LaMar’s Cell Phone and Computer … Missng Since March 16, 2012

Quote
The investigation into the disappearance of 15 year old Sierra LaMar continues, but provides few clues. The  Santa Clara County investigators have examined the cell phone and the computer of missing Sierra LaMar but claim they have no clues as to why she went missing. They are unable to determine whether she was a victim of a crime or a runaway. However, Sierra LaMar’s cell phone was found on the side of the road less than a mile from her home, in the opposite direction from the bus stop. With no clues found with cell phone records or on her computer as active that Sierra LaMar was with Facebook and Twitter, and the fact that her cell phone was found in the opposite direction from what was supposed to be her way to school, one has to suspect that she was stalked and taken against her will.
::snipping2::

Its becoming harder and harder to believe that this was a run away. With no clues uncovered thru the forensic examination of cell phone and compter this is really starting to appear to be an abuction by some one who stalked this girls routine. I have to wonder with the school contacting the parents so late in the day as to she was not in school that day was known by who might have taken her?

I am hoping for the best, but this is not looking good.

I was really hoping that the computer and cell would give some clues. 

Were there no neighbors that noticed this girl as they left for work that morning????  When I lived in town, mornings were busy with folks getting ready for the day by being in and out of the door and getting into cars.  Did no one notice a strange vehicle?

Red and Kitty...I don't think the time of the absent notification was even a thought for the perp.  Most schools my area of Florida don't notify till after 5pm. After seeing video of Sierra's home and its surroundings I see why some of her friends call it a scarry area. If she was the only child in that desolate area ridinig the bus then she was ripe pickings for someone who had seen her out there alone. I do believe she is in deep trouble!!!

MORGAN HILL, Calif. — A crowd of 400 concerned adults and tearful teens gathered Tuesday night to attend an emotional candlelight vigil for missing Morgan Hill teenager Sierra Lamar.
The vigil was held at the Morgan Hill Presbyterian church and drew friends of missing 15-year-old Sierra from the two high schools she has attended in the past two years.

During the vigil, Sierra’s anguished mother Marlene called out for her daughter.

I feel guilty because I'm always worried about where she is, said Marlene Lamar. If you can hear me, just realize how much I love you and want you back. I love you and just want you back.

 ::snipping2::

Investigators are also checking up on 276 registered offenders in the area. Sierra's father, Fremont resident Steve Lamar, has a sex crime conviction.

But investigators have already cleared him in his daughter’s disappearance. He was at Tuesday night's vigil and appeared visibly distraught

Sierra we love you and we can't wait for you to come home, said Steve Lamar.

We're not going to give up until she comes home, agreed Sierra’s sister Danielle Lamar.

The sheriff's department continues to classify this as a missing person case, not an abduction. Wednesday will be the sixth day since she vanished.

BBM. What interesting comments from her mother.  Sounds like statements one would make in the hopes that a runaway child would hear them.  No pleas to an abductor either.  And she feels guilty because she always knows where Sierra is.  That doesn't make any sense.  Does she actually feel guilty because they fought that morning or is she trying to make the story about herself rather than Sierra?  All IMO.


I agree with you  ::rhino::D
There was speculation she wanted to live with her dad, if true, were there red flags of unrest at her present home?  I would loathe to live around a strange man.

I was really hoping that the computer and cell would give some clues. 

Were there no neighbors that noticed this girl as they left for work that morning????  When I lived in town, mornings were busy with folks getting ready for the day by being in and out of the door and getting into cars.  Did no one notice a strange vehicle?

it prob wasnt a strange vehicle,im sure the folks that are up and about,at that hr,know
everyone coming and going,even the RSO cars,even if they dont know its an RSO car
what bugs me is the scent,stopping at the driveway,and not continuing on to the Bstop
even though she tweeted/text,its cold where is the bus. to me that sounds like she was
at the Bstop
i thought maybe she would bike to the Bstop,that would explain the scent stopping at
the drive,but ive heard no mention of her using a bike to get to the Bstop

If it wasn't a strange car then it was one known to frequent the neighborhood which means the perp is probably still following his routine and LE need to focus close to home.

I remember in past cases, tracking dogs can track persons even on bicycles.  Skin cells continue to fall.  It might be that it is more difficult.   :smt102

If she were at the busstop when tweeting about the temp, then perhaps she decided to take a ride from someone.  And that doesn't bode well at all.  What are the chances that there was a security camera somewhere near the bus stop?

LE won't confirm that there was urine found on the clothes in the bag. 

hmm...that's telling.

I also noticed his wording when asked about fingerprints or dna found on the bag.  He said that they had not found anything to point to a person of interest.  That's telling me that they've found something and the perp just isn't in the system.

They also won't comment on which side of the road the bag was found on.

Sheriff's office: Bag, clothes belonging to missing Morgan HIll girl found
Posted:   03/22/2012 10:21:29 AM PDT
Updated:   03/22/2012 10:26:54 AM PDT


The Santa County Sheriff's Office this morning disclosed they have found a bag, T-shirt and pants belonging Sierra LaMar, the 15-year-old Morgan Hill girl who disappeared while on her way to school Friday.

Sgt. Jose Cardoza said a Juicy bag was found at 1 p.m. Sunday near the intersection of Santa Teresa Boulevard and Laguna Avenue. Inside the bag was a neatly folded pair of pants and a T-shirt.

Cardoza said that information was not released until they confirmed the bag and clothing was Sierra's and investigators did follow-up work.

Saturday Sierra's Samsung Galaxy cell phone was found in a field about three-quarters of a mile from her home.

Meanwhile, the sheriff's volunteer search and rescue team is conducting a search of the area for any evidence such as a weapon, clothing or tire tracks. Five search dogs are also participating in the effort.

Sierra LaMar's Purse, Clothing Found
Thursday, Mar 22, 2012  |  Updated 10:55 AM PDT


The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office confirmed that they found the purse and some clothing of missing Morgan Hill teenager Sierra LaMar.

The items were found Sunday at 1 p.m. near the intersection of Laguna and Santa Teresa in Morgan Hill. That is about two miles from the girl's home. They were off to the side of the road as if tossed from a vehicle. Her cell phone was found a day earlier, on Saturday, at the nearby intersection of Scheller and Santa Teresa. It was also off the roadway as if tossed. 

Forensic tests and the family confirmed that these items belong to the 15-year-old girl who has not been seen since leaving for class at Sobrato High School early Friday morning.

ok makes sense my time is 2 hrs ahead so maybe thats why I see that time of 930. Seems like someone took her right before the bus came. I bet it was a sex offender.
No child should be walking to the bus stop alone day or night. I watched my daughter walk to hers in the past when she took the bus. I hated her to walk to it in the dark and I stayed on the phone with her till she got on the bus.We had a gated community but it doesnt matter they can follow kids from anywhere, if they want them they will tryto get them IMO day or night

I agree with your suspicion regarding Sierra's belongings being planted.

I can understand a cell ... a cell that pings ... being thrown from a vehicle in the process of an abduction but not clothes and purse.

I could be wrong but ... I suspect that Sierra never left her home alive ... something happened throughout the night.  Tweet and cell phone photo were staged.  IMO

I stand by my postition of speculation unless the truth reveals otherwise.

Think about it.  The mother claims she leaves for work at 6:00 AM ... Sierra leaves for school at 7:15 AM.

If  the scenario played out in our household when my grown kids were teenagers ... they would still be in bed at 6:00 AM or ... in the process of crawling out of bed ... no mood for posing for funny photos.  I worked for 40 years and not one of those week days  mornings ... rushing around to get out the door to get to work on time ... was I in the frame of mind for taking funny photos of my kids.  I contend that the photo and Sierra's belongings were all part of a staging.

Again ... I could be wrong.

Missing Sierra LaMar's phone yields no clues
Thursday, March 22, 2012


<snipped>

Sierra LaMar was last seen by her family in their home in an unincorporated area near Morgan Hill at about 6 a.m. Friday. Sheriff's investigators say there is no evidence she was the victim of a crime, but they also say there is no sign she ran away.

Sierra posted on Twitter for the last time at about 6:30 a.m. Friday. She usually left to catch a bus to Sobrato High School in Morgan Hill at about 7:10 a.m., according to the sheriff's office.

I think the tweet was actually at 6:30am, it shows as 8:30am for me but they are two hours behind me.  I think the tweet times show according to what time zone you're in.  jmo

I'd also read somewhere later that her last tweet was at 6:30am and last text was at 7:11am.  I'm also thinking I read that Sierra took that picture of herself that morning.

Sierra posted on Twitter for the last time at about 6:30 a.m. Friday. She usually left to catch a bus to Sobrato High School in Morgan Hill at about 7:10 a.m., according to the sheriff's office.

Something else from that same article:

About Sierra's dad, I saw the question asked...not sure if it has already been answered.

Quote
Court documents show that LaMar was originally charged with 12 felony counts of committing lewd or lascivious acts with three children under 14 in March 2009. He pleaded guilty to one count and was sentenced in September 2009 to a year in county jail.

None of the three children was his daughter, documents show.

does anyone else feel like its possible the perp is now planting this stuff after the fact, maybe to lead people in the opposite direction of where she could be.  i'm normally not a conspiracy theorist  or anything but the only reason i'm saying this is i'm reminded of the morgan harrington case where someone had planted her t-shirt in the opposite direction of where she was found several weeks after she went missing.

I AM a conspiracy theorist through and through.

 ::piggy::

I agree with your suspicion regarding Sierra's belongings being planted.

I can understand a cell ... a cell that pings ... being thrown from a vehicle in the process of an abduction but not clothes and purse.

I could be wrong but ... I suspect that Sierra never left her home alive ... something happened throughout the night.  Tweet and cell phone photo were staged.  IMO



Janet, her mom said that she took that pic of Sierra sticking out her tongue that morning just as she was leaving for work.  There would be a time stamp of when the pic was taken.

I stand by my postition of speculation unless the truth reveals otherwise.

Think about it.  The mother claims she leaves for work at 6:00 AM ... Sierra leaves for school at 7:15 AM.

If  the scenario played out in our household when my grown kids were teenagers ... they would still be in bed at 6:00 AM or ... in the process of crawling out of bed ... no mood for posing for funny photos.  I worked for 40 years and not one of those week days  mornings ... rushing around to get out the door to get to work on time ... was I in the frame of mind for taking funny photos of my kids.  I contend that the photo and Sierra's belongings were all part of a staging.

Again ... I could be wrong.

I thought about that too and wondered if Sierra walked to bus what time did she? My kids do get up real early but I know most kids dont

Kyrons stepmom took a pic of him before he was gone.maybe no signifigance to this case but wierd.

Speaking of the picture...to me it looks like Sierra took it herself...if you look at how the arms are extended.  Could mom have taken a picture of a picture.  Just looking at every angle.

I have read that Sierra took it of herself, I don't have time to look for it now.  But that makes sense to me since it is very common practice for kids to do that these days.  I'm wondering if she may have sent it to her mom in a text?

Janet,

Your point about a teen not being up at 6am and lively makes a lot of sense.  Maybe we can go back and look at her tweets and such and see if she was consistently tweeting around that time, which would show that she just happens to be a teen that gets up early and is spunky at that.

That would provide a 5 minute timeframe between Sierra leaving the home and the arrival of the bus.  Makes sense when you consider teenagers.  However ... the implication is that the abduction took place in the five minute dash for the school bus.

http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Clue-Found-in-Sierra-Lamar-Disappearance-143815416.html


The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office confirmed that they found the purse and some clothing of missing Morgan Hill teenager Sierra LaMar.

The items were found Sunday at 1 p.m. near the intersection of Laguna and Santa Teresa in Morgan Hill. That is about two miles from the girl's home. They were off to the side of the road as if tossed from a vehicle. Her cell phone was found a day earlier, on Saturday, at the nearby intersection of Scheller and Santa Teresa. It was also off the roadway as if tossed. 

Forensic tests and the family confirmed that these items belong to the 15-year-old girl who has not been seen since leaving for class at Sobrato High School early Friday morning.

Sierra lived in Fremont and attended Washington High School until this year when she and her mother moved to Morgan Hill. Students and teachers at both schools have helped in the search and have posted hundreds of missing person signs around the Bay Area.

Because of this new information, Santa Clara County investigators are back in Morgan Hill Thursday to perform new, more extensive search of the area. The search radius is three miles and includes 50 searchers plus search dogs.

Sierra LaMar was last seen by her family in their home in an unincorporated area near Morgan Hill at about 6 a.m. Friday. Sheriff's investigators say there is no evidence she was the victim of a crime, but they also say there is no sign she ran away.

Sierra posted on Twitter for the last time at about 6:30 a.m. Friday. She usually left to catch a bus to Sobrato High School in Morgan Hill at about 7:10 a.m., according to the sheriff's office.

Although I find the revealed cell phone photo suspicious ... the revealed cell phone photo that was obivously taken with another cell phone other than Sierra's considering LE has her cell phone ... the bio Dad raises some red flags.
.
Could Steve LaMar have been waiting for Sierra when she left the house at 8:10 AM?  Somehow ... it makes sense when you consider the bio Dad's recent history that there may have been issues with his daughter.

In the process of elimination in regards to persons of interest ... has Steve LaMar taken a polygraph?  Has Sierra's mother and mother's boyfriend taken a polygraph?

According to reports from the sheriff's department her mother is the last one known to have seen her at their home she moved into last October.

She took a photo of her daughter on her cell phone before she left Friday morning, capturing her smiling with her tongue out at the camera. That photo has been submitted to police in help of finding her.

Is it possible that she never left to catch the bus?  Perp watches everyone exit the home per their routine, he parks at the end of drive, knocks on door, Sierra innocently answers, and he overpowers her and puts her in the car.  Is there any evidence at all that she walked outside at all that day?

I agree with ya KittyMom!  Once you pull to the end of the drive way or in the drive way it looks pretty private and someone might have to be standing at the fence between Sierra's and the neighbors to see really good what is going on in drive or front door area!  All MOO.  I just feel like it was a golden opportunity for a perv wanting to take a little girl.  Could have been purely spur of moment or could have been watching for a while.

Thanks BabsKats.  Conflict articles ... what to believe.

The implication from the photo would be that it taken prior to 6:00 AM when Mom left for work.  Think about it.  Fifteen year old Celina does not have to leave until 7:10 AM fo her five minute dash to the bus but ... she is up, dressed and goofing off prior to 6:00 AM.

Three kids went through their teenage years in this household and ... it never happened.  Prio to 6:00 PM on a work day Mom and Dad were not taking pictures.  They were rushing around doing what needed to be done prior to leaving for work while yelling at our teenagers to get out of bed to begin the process of getting ready for school.  Then again ... there was love but .. our family could never be compared to the Waltons.

Bottom Line.  I am suspicious that the photo is not authentic.  It was all part of a staging to make it appear that Sierra was alive prior to 6:00 AM on the morning of March 16th.  I could be wrong.

http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Clue-Found-in-Sierra-Lamar-Disappearance-143815416.html


The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office confirmed that they found the purse and some clothing of missing Morgan Hill teenager Sierra LaMar.

The items were found Sunday at 1 p.m. near the intersection of Laguna and Santa Teresa in Morgan Hill. That is about two miles from the girl's home. They were off to the side of the road as if tossed from a vehicle. Her cell phone was found a day earlier, on Saturday, at the nearby intersection of Scheller and Santa Teresa. It was also off the roadway as if tossed. 

Forensic tests and the family confirmed that these items belong to the 15-year-old girl who has not been seen since leaving for class at Sobrato High School early Friday morning.

Sierra lived in Fremont and attended Washington High School until this year when she and her mother moved to Morgan Hill. Students and teachers at both schools have helped in the search and have posted hundreds of missing person signs around the Bay Area.

Because of this new information, Santa Clara County investigators are back in Morgan Hill Thursday to perform new, more extensive search of the area. The search radius is three miles and includes 50 searchers plus search dogs.

Is it possible that she never left to catch the bus?  Perp watches everyone exit the home per their routine, he parks at the end of drive, knocks on door, Sierra innocently answers, and he overpowers her and puts her in the car.  Is there any evidence at all that she walked outside at all that day?

Maybe Sierra knew the perp ... the perp that fear she may talk in regards to inappropriate behavior against her person ... the perp with a recent criminal SO history.

Father of missing girl, 15, is a registered sex offender
PUBLISHED: 02:19 GMT, 22 March 2012 | UPDATED: 04:03 GMT, 22 March 2012


<snipped>

'I understand the stigma associated with this in my background, and I assure everyone it is not connected in any way to my daughter's disappearance,' Steve Lamar said in a statement to the San Fransisco Chronicle.

According to court records, he was charged in March 2009 with 12 felony counts of committing lewd or lascivious acts with three children younger than 14.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2118557/Father-Sierra-Lamar-reveals-registered-sex-offender.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
 

It is beyond my comprehension WHY Steve Lamar is legally permitted to have his 15 year old minor daughter in his company unsupervised for any length of time.  If appears that up until October ... Sierra was living with her father.  Steve Lamar is a register sex offender for crying out loud.  Considering the charges against her ex-husband ... why did Sierra's mother allow this arrangement to take place?
.
Something tells me that there are underlying dynamics within this family which need to be investigated.  If Sierra's mother ... father and ... mother's live in boyfriend have not submitted to a polygraphy ... inquiring minds want to know ... "WHY NOT"?

Sierra LaMar: Police Find Missing California Teen’s Bag With Clothing


<snipped>

Sierra’s parents are divorced, and she lived with her father in Fremont, Calif., until October, when she moved in with her mother and transferred to Sobrata High School in Morgan Hills.

ABC News has learned that Steve LaMar is a registered sex offender and is currently on probation for committing lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age. Police have emphasized that Steve LaMar is not a suspect in the investigation.

With no leads yet, investigators continue searching for missing teen
Posted: Wednesday, March 21, 2012 5:08 pm | Updated: 12:34 pm, Thu Mar 22, 2012.


Forensics investigators will continue to examine the phone and its contents when it is dry, sheriff’s Lt. Troy Smith said.

<snipped>

LaMar’s mother Marlene and her boyfriend Rick Gardiner, as well as the teen’s father Steve LaMar have all been ruled out as suspects, according to Smith.

“The entire family has fully cooperated with our agency,” Smith said. “All of the family (mother, father, Gardiner) have alibis and can be accounted for at the time Sierra went missing.”

MORGAN HILL, CA (CBS/KPIX) - Authorities are combing wooded areas for a missing California girl.

The area where Sierra LaMar's Juicy brand purse was found was Laguna and Santa Teresa Sunday at 1 p.m. The Sheriff's Department says there was a neatly folded t-shirt, a pair of jeans, and undergarments inside.

There were no suspicious fingerprints or DNA evidence on or in the purse. Sgt. Jose Cardoza says, "What we do not know at this point is if she was wearing that particular set of clothes when she left the house or if it was extra clothing that she packed."

 ::snipping2::

Sierra, 15, was last seen on Friday morning. A text was sent from her phone around 7 a.m. Investigators won't say to whom that text was sent.

The stuff of nightmares sets in for family of missing Morgan Hill girl

Making the case even more complicated is that her father, a computer engineer, is a registered sex offender. He pleaded no contest in 2009 to "lewd acts" with a minor younger than 14 after he fondled a friend of his older daughter's at a slumber party in 1999.
 ::snipping2::
Sierra's sister, Danielle LaMar, 21, said despite her father's conviction and her parents' divorce, the family of four remains tight-knit. "I've always been really close with my dad," she said.

The night before Sierra disappeared, Danielle LaMar left Sacramento State for spring break and joined her father at his Fremont townhouse. On their way back from dinner, Sierra, a 5-foot-2-inch brunette, called. They put her on speakerphone.

"She was talking about how she wanted to get her hair done the next time she went to Fremont. She wanted to add some blond streaks," Danielle LaMar said. "She was very excited about one of her school assignments, telling me about her research paper. Bringing up her grades made her happy."

In October, Sierra, her mother and her mother's boyfriend, Rick Gardiner, who is in the construction business, moved from Fremont to a rented ranch-style house on Paquito Espana Court in Morgan Hill, a rural cul-de-sac surrounded by farm fields. Sierra was upset to be moving away from her close friends at Washington High School, where she was a cheerleader and involved in competitive dance, to Sobrato High School -- where she knew no one.

"But these past few months, she was making good friends and adapting more to the area," Danielle LaMar said. She didn't have a boyfriend, her sister said.

The household followed its typical routine the morning Sierra disappeared, Danielle LaMar said. Gardiner left the house about 6 a.m. Her mother kissed Sierra goodbye and left for her job in Fremont.

Sheriff: Missing Morgan Hill Teen's Purse, Clothes Found
 Posted: Mar 22, 2012 6:02 PM PDT Updated: Mar 22, 2012 6:05 PM PDT

By Jacqueline Tualla - email
 




MORGAN HILL - The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department said they found the purse of the Morgan Hill teen who disappeared almost a week ago.
 
Investigators said Sierra Lamar's purse contained a neatly-folder shirt, a pair of jeans and some under garments.

It was found on Sunday afternoon near Santa Teresa and Laguna, just a couple of miles from the teen's mom's home.
 
"It was her clothing. It was things that she would have kept with her and it was school books. We believe she was on her way to school. It shouldn't have been where it was. It definitely elevates our concerns," said Sheriff Laurie Smith of the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department.
 
On Thursday, at least 40 volunteers and sheriff's deputies searched a three-mile radius of Lamar's mother's home.
 
"Very specific, very thorough search, a little bit more than what we did over the weekend," said Sgt. Jose Cardoza of the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department. "More areas are going to be checked, private property, large parts of land, waterways, specific things we're looking for are tire tracks, evidence, weapons or any other evidence."
 
On Saturday, investigators found Lamar's cell phone, near Palm and Dougherty avenues, also by her mom's home.
 
Investigators hope trained dogs will pick up Lamar's scent from her clothes and lead investigators to her.

Sorry about that, I'm still new to the forum and forgot to add the scissors to denote an article. Note:  It wasn't the scissors that were the problem.  You had posted the entire article, which I "snipped" and then added the scissors.  MB   ::MonkeyWink::

I always had the feeling that this was foul play, but if they indeed found her books it sounds to me like she had the intention of going to school like any other normal day, and did not run away.  I also think that if she were running away or planned on being picked up, there would have been clues suggesting that on her phone.  For example, "See you in five minutes."  or something similar.

I sure hope I'm wrong but this isn't looking good at all. ::MonkeyNoNo::

I don't really know much about this person, I think she's a celebrity of some kind...popular with the girls Sierra's age...Sierra followed her on twitter etc., had pictures of her on tumblr.
Apparently she's been catching some slack for trying to get the word out about Sierra, kudos to her for trying to help.

 ::snipping2::

MORGAN HILL, Calif. - On Thursday night, dozens of FBI agents and Santa Clara County sheriff deputies swarmed the cul-de-sac where Sierra Lamar lives on Paquita Espana Court in Morgan Hill.

They spent hours searching neighbors backyards, even bringing in canines to sniff for clues. They spent most of the night searching a large property right next door to the missing 15-year-old girl's home.

Marc Klaas said he isn't surprised investigators are concentrating in this area.

"There isn't a lot of extraneous traffic. These are people who live here and may very well know this girl's routine and might have taken advantage of that," says Klaas.
 
For the first time, Klaas met Sierra's family on Thursday. Klaas's daughter Polly was kidnapped and murdered in Petaluma in 1993. A year later, Klass started the KlassKids Foundation to assist with families of missing children.  
 
"We have our search director that will be flying out very soon. Once we get the okay from the sheriff's department we will start doing volunteer searches," says Klaas.
 
The cul-de-sac isn't the only area, investigators targeted. Less than a quarter mile away on Scheller Avenue, they also targeted a vacant foreclosed home. Detectives even hauled away an evidence kit from the home.

This business shows to be right next to Sierra's house, sells portfolio's etc.

1-5 employess 250,000-500,000 income per year

Must be mail order mainly, but the property looks like it's in the same tract as Sierra's house.

If that's a warehouse to the left of the smaller trailer, notice the deterioration or destruction of the front part of it in some of the apparently more recent pictures.

Maybe they're not in business anymore?  Have they had workers out there tearing the building down recently?  On google map you can see debris all around it. (picture below)

This is the property immediately to the right of Sierra's house (if you are facing her street)

Basically vacant land, looks like maybe a boxcar on it.

MORGAN HILL, Calif. - On Thursday night, dozens of FBI agents and Santa Clara County sheriff deputies swarmed the cul-de-sac where Sierra Lamar lives on Paquita Espana Court in Morgan Hill.

They spent hours searching neighbors backyards, even bringing in canines to sniff for clues. They spent most of the night searching a large property right next door to the missing 15-year-old girl's home.

Marc Klaas said he isn't surprised investigators are concentrating in this area.

"There isn't a lot of extraneous traffic. These are people who live here and may very well know this girl's routine and might have taken advantage of that," says Klaas.
 
For the first time, Klaas met Sierra's family on Thursday. Klaas's daughter Polly was kidnapped and murdered in Petaluma in 1993. A year later, Klass started the KlassKids Foundation to assist with families of missing children.  
 
"We have our search director that will be flying out very soon. Once we get the okay from the sheriff's department we will start doing volunteer searches," says Klaas.
 
The cul-de-sac isn't the only area, investigators targeted. Less than a quarter mile away on Scheller Avenue, they also targeted a vacant foreclosed home. Detectives even hauled away an evidence kit from the home.

Roadblock Set in Sierra LaMar Search
Police are re-examining the bus stop LaMar used.
By Bob Redell
Friday, Mar 23, 2012  |  Updated 7:56 AM PDT

The FBI has set up a roadblock on Dougherty Avenue near the intersection with Palm Avenue as part of their investigation into the disappearance of 15-year-old Sierra Lamar.

She was supposed to catch a school bus at that intersection last Friday but never made it.
 
Agents are stopping every driver and quizzing them about their recollection of the morning of March 16 when Sierra disappeared. 

Police are asking if motorists saw anything unusual and if this is the route that motorist would normally take? The road block started around 7 a.m. No word if this has yielded any new clues or information.

Sierra's mother, Marlene LaMar, pleaded for help this morning, but she didn't seem to realize she referred to her daughter in the past tense.

"I'm hoping that you know, you think of her as your own child. You know, she's, she was such a lovable young lady," LaMar said.

Investigators have no evidence that something bad happened to Sierra LaMar -- no signs of foul play. There's also no indication that she ran away.

Thanks Grace

I hope I am wrong but ... I suspect that truth to the disappearance of this beautiful young lady lies with those close to her.

It is beyond my comprehension WHY Steve Lamar is legally permitted to have his 15 year old minor daughter in his company unsupervised for any length of time.  It appears that up until October ... Sierra was living with her father.  Steve Lamar is a register sex offender for crying out loud.  Considering the charges against her ex-husband ... why did Sierra's mother allow this arrangement to take place?

Something tells me that there are underlying dynamics within this family which need to be investigated.  If Sierra's mother ... father and ... mother's live in boyfriend have not been requested to submit to a polygraph ... inquiring minds want to know why not.  They  all might all have alibis for when Sierra ALLEGEDLY went missing but .....

Sierra’s parents are divorced, and she lived with her father in Fremont, Calif., until October, when she moved in with her mother and transferred to Sobrata High School in Morgan Hills.

ABC News has learned that Steve LaMar is a registered sex offender and is currently on probation for committing lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age. Police have emphasized that Steve LaMar is not a suspect in the investigation.

BBM.  IIRC, Marlene said she thought Sierra might be wearing a San Jose Sharks shirt the day she went missing.  The shirt that was in her bag is a Sharks shirt.  She is also definitely wearing a Sharks shirt in the photo with her tongue sticking out, taken either Friday or Thursday morning (depending on which report you read).

Marlene LaMar believes she had that shirt on when she left the house.
On Sunday, searchers came across Sierra's pink Juicy purse near the intersection of Santa Teresa and Laguna. Folded within that bag were that shirt, pants and neatly folded undergarments.

According to the following article ... Sierra's father is also a computer engineer.  In other words ... members of Sierra's family are very computer savy.

The cell phone photo of Sierra taken by her mother on the morning she went missing?  Was it authentic or ... was it a picture of a picture?  Think about it.  What fifteen year old teenager is up ... dressed and ... goofing around for a photo prior to 6:00 AM when she is not required to leave the home to catch the school bus until 7:10 AM?  What parent rushing around to get out of the house at 6:00 AM to get to work on time stops to take a photo of their teenager?  However ... on the morning her daughter goes missing ... she does.  Coincidence?  I don't think so.  IMO

Could it be that a collaborated staging and planting took place following something bad happening prior to the morning of March 16th?   Could there have been an electronic staging (cell phone photo/texting/tweeting) to further an agenda to suggest Sierra was alive on the morning she went missing.  Could there have been a planting (cell phone/Juicy Bag) to suggested that Sierra may have been kidnapped?

The stuff of nightmares sets in for family of missing Morgan Hill girl

Making the case even more complicated is that her father, a computer engineer, is a registered sex offender. He pleaded no contest in 2009 to "lewd acts" with a minor younger than 14 after he fondled a friend of his older daughter's at a slumber party in 1999.

But police say Steve LaMar, who is divorced from Sierra's mother and lives in Fremont, is not a suspect and has been fully cooperative with the investigation.

"I understand the stigma associated with this in my background, and I assure everyone it is not connected in any way to my daughter's disappearance," LaMar said in a statement Wednesday. "I ask that you please not shift the focus away from the investigation and from finding Sierra."

Tamikosmom,

You always have the best questions.
 
Perhaps, this is a game to deliberately catch the culprit.

If Sierra, was into hair and makeup, her purse would be full of the stuff. She would have a portable vanity :)

Watch this full video interview with Sierra's parents.  I give both parents credit for keeping Sierra in the news and contacting outside agencys for help.  I feel bad for them.  I don't think either one has anything to do with Sierra missing. 

Thanks Klaas!   ::MonkeyCool::

One thing that I've wondered about was answered by Sierra's mom.

Marlene Lamar said that the picture of Sierra on the morning of her disappearance was taken on her computer before she left.  It wasn't taken with a cell phone, it was taken with her computer that was still at the house after her disappearance.

NBC Bay Area has learned new information about Sierra's personal belongings found in a field not far from her home.

One of those items is a San Jose Sharks shirt, very similar to what she was wearing last Friday morning in a photo she took on her home computer.

If Sierra's mother put on blinders regarding the risks when she permitted her Sierra to live with her RSO father ... she could have had on blinders in regards to the happenings that may have been going on in her own house.
.
What do we know about Rick Gardiner?  This guy has remained elusive since Sierra was reported missing.  Nothing reported in regards to the last time he saw ... spoke to the young lady that resided within the walls of his home.  Why?


Tamikosmom,

You always have the best questions.
 
Perhaps, this is a game to deliberately catch the culprit.

If Sierra, was into hair and makeup, her purse would be full of the stuff. She would have a portable vanity :)
 

IMO ::MonkeyTongue::

Great catch!!  In photos it appears that Sierra wore a lot of make-up.  She certaining is a beautiful young lady.  She reminds me of my hubby's 16 year old niece's daughter.

I had started to post a few times concerning the timeline the monkeys have been trying to work out, as far as when Sierra woke and when she left to go to her bus.  Some seemed to feel a teen would try to sleep in until they had to get up.  But I know some young ladies that do get up an hour or so ahead of leaving for school, because they do their hair, put on make up, check FB and etc. It can take a while.   ::MonkeyWink::

You have a point.  It would be interesting if it was a habit of Sierra to do the Facebook/Twitter thing every morning.  I wonder if a Monkey researcher knows.

Nevertheless ... the family dynamics ... Mom's elusive live in boyfriend ... a registered sex offender father that mom allowed her daughter to live with  ... an older sister that claims she is close to her father and they are a tight-knit family ... caused me to speculate that the truth encompassing missing Sierra may lie in those close to her.  I could be wrong.

Janet,

I haven't forgotten yet about looking at Sierra's tweets and trying to see if she is active prior to 6am.  While I am doing it I looked again at her last tweet...

YES RT @AlexiaIsom: When I see Her my inner black girl comes out😡😠👊

Who is RT...is that who she is talking about to Alexia?  That's who makes her inner black girl come out when she sees her?  She capitalized "Her" so this seems important to her.  Have we talked about who she is talking about?  A peer, an enemy, a singer?

Definitely, I'm just not sure if that is the picture in question.  It shows on Twitter as being taken on the 14th.  But, I know that it has been said that it is the one with her tongue to the side.  She has a photobucket it appears, but I cannot guess the name that she uses, it isn't Sierra Lamar.

She appears to be wearing a San Jose Sharks shirt in this photo.  I live in the bay area and recognize the Sharks logo.

In the photo thzt Sierra clearly took herself and posted on Twitter, she's wearing a Golden State Warriors top, a bay area basketball team.

Also, I believe "RT" is used on twitter as an abbreviation for "retweet" which basically means you're quoting or fowarding something someone else has tweeted.  I don't think the "inner black girl" tweet was an original quote from Sierra, rather a saying she liked and retweeted.  Someone more familiar with twitter please confirm.

Other things you might want to know:

What about Retweets (RTs)?

Many users are often confused about where their Retweets (and their Tweets that have been retweeted by others) will show up on Twitter. Click here to read our article all about Retweets and where you'll find them on your Tweets timeline, your profile, and on Twitter.

https://support.twitter.com/groups/31-twitter-basics/topics/109-tweets-messages/articles/77606-what-is-retweet-rt#
What is a Retweet?

    A Retweet is a re-posting of someone else's Tweet. Twitter's Retweet feature helps you and others quickly share that Tweet with all of your followers.

Note: Sometimes people type "RT" at the beginning of a Tweet to indicate that they are re-posting someone else's content. This isn't an official Twitter command or feature.
What does a Retweet look like?

    Retweets in all timelines and profiles are distinguished by the Retweet icon Screen_shot_2010-07-21_at_2.42.25_PM.png followed by the name of the user who retweeted the Tweet.
    To credit a Tweet's author, Retweets show the profile picture, user name, and Tweet of the original author, with "Retweeted by" information appended at the bottom of the Tweet (shown below).
    If you see a message from a stranger in your timeline, look for the Retweet icon – the retweeter should be someone you follow.

Thanks everyone for clearing that up.  Glad to know what RT means...I learn something new everyday.  I have never really gotten into the Twitter thing.  So, it wasn't the picture that was taken on the 14th.  Ok.  Lots of new information on NG tonight...her mom is on there talking. 

Do you all remember the case of the boy that was talking online to someone thinking that it was a girl and they arranged to meet and the "girl" ended up being a grown man (taxi driver)?  With the bag of clothes makes me think that maybe she was planning on going somewhere with someone and it ended up not being who she thought it was.  Just a thought.  I know that it doesn't seem that she has been talking to anyone (that we see).  I guess LE would be able to find that out though.  Just brainstorming.  Mom also wanted to make it a point to let the public know that it was light outside when she headed for the bus.

Considering Mom left for work at 6:00 AM ... if the following article reflects the truth ... the implication is that the above photo was taken prior to 6:00 AM.  Sierra appears to be already dressed for school and makeup applied.  What I cannot get past is that Sierra does not have to leave the house for over an hour to catch the 7:15 AM school bus.  The time of her last Facebook entry 6:29 AM.

NANCY GRACE

Purse of Missing California Cheerleader Found

Aired March 23, 2012 - 20:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.


NANCY GRACE, HOST: Breaking news tonight, live. Upscale San Jose area, a 15-year-old cheerleader, loves music, loves to dance, all-American girl, set to leave for the school bus that morning. Mommy sees her 6:00 AM before going to work. Sierra never seen again, vanishing without a trace.

Tonight, confirmed, Sierra never makes it to the bus or to school, cell phone found thrown in a nearby field less than a mile from her own home. What does the cell phone reveal?

Bombshell tonight. In the last hours, search teams circle back to the missing cheerleader`s home as bloodhounds trace her only as far as the end of her mom`s driveway. At this hour, new evidence just surfacing. Tonight, everybody a suspect, nobody a suspect. Where is 15-year-old Sierra?

 ::snipping2::

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JOSE CARDOZA, SPOKESMAN, SANTA CLARA SHERIFF`S OFFICE: But there was a bag, specifically a Juicy purse, a Juicy bag belonging to Sierra LaMar that was found Sunday about 1:00 PM. Members of the sheriff`s office search and rescue team found this Juicy bag belonging to Sierra.

Inside the bag was some of Sierra`s clothing, a pair of pants and a T- shirt neatly folded, neatly put inside this bag. This bag was located on Santa Teresa (ph) Boulevard in Laguna, which is within a couple of miles of Sierra`s mother`s house.

The reason the information wasn`t immediately made available to the public was because we had to confirm that the clothes did belong to Sierra, and we had to do some further investigative follow-up on that. Through confirmation from Sierra`s family and through some of the investigative efforts, we have now confirmed that those clothes and the bag did belong to Sierra.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

 ::snipping2::

And joining me right now is a special guest. This is the mother of Sierra LaMar. Marlene LaMar is with us tonight in a primetime exclusive.

Ms. LaMar, thank you for being with us.

MARLENE LAMAR, SIERRA`S MOTHER (via telephone): Hello?

GRACE: I`m here, Ms. LaMar. Thank you for being with us.

LAMAR: Thank you for having me so we can get the word out and try to find my baby.

GRACE: Ms. LaMar, my mom would leave every morning before we went to school. We would wake up, she would have breakfast all laid out, and she expected us to eat and go to school. Everything was laid out for us.

You got up and you went to work that morning around 6:00 AM, is that correct?

LAMAR: That`s correct. And I heard something...

GRACE: What...

LAMAR: I was listening to stuff in the background about her walking at the bus stop before dawn. But actually, she started for the bus stop at 7:15, and it was bright out. I mean, it`s well lit, so I want to make sure...

GRACE: Good to know.

LAMAR: ... that`s (INAUDIBLE) clear.

GRACE: Good to know. You know what? That actually changes things, Ms. LaMar. The fact that it was broad daylight when she was outside changes the scenario of what may have happened.

Here`s my big question right there. Ms. LaMar, do you know what she was wearing that morning? Can you recall what she had on?

LAMAR: No, because she was still wearing her pajamas, you know, before I left for work.

GRACE: OK. Have police told you what the clothes were in her pocketbook?

LAMAR: No. No.

GRACE: OK. I`m just wondering if they were the clothes that she had on when she left that morning? Were they clothes she was going to change into after school?

LAMAR: I did not see what she was wearing before she left for school that morning.

GRACE: Yes. Did she have an after-school activity or did she have cheerleading practice that day?

LAMAR: No. No.

GRACE: That morning, what, if anything, was she talking about? What was she saying? Or did you even get to talk to her in the rush to get to work?

LAMAR: It was just a routine day. She was going to -- you know, she was, you know, getting ready for school. But the previous evening, on Thursday evening, she was excited about doing an English paper for her classroom and doing the research on it. And so, you know, she was -- the last long conversation as far as academically, she was talking about that last night. I mean, not last night...

GRACE: I`m just looking at pictures...

LAMAR: ... but the Thursday evening...

GRACE: ... of her, and she`s just...

LAMAR: ... the previous night.

GRACE: ... absolutely precious. Tell me about her. What are her interests? What does she like to do?

LAMAR: She was passionate -- you know, most of her early years, she did dance, competitive dancing. And she also enjoyed cheerleading because of the school spirit thing and connecting with the school and the -- you know, the athletes as far as being supportive. She was into that, you know, cheering on the school.

And she was driven. You know, she set the bar kind of high for herself as far as, you know, trying her best. And she was hard on herself if she felt like she saw her performance, and you know, could have improved on this and that because she set the bar pretty high.

And I would always tell her, you know, Honey, as long as you try your best, that`s what really matters, you know? You know, don`t be disappointed in yourself as long as you -- you know, you know you put the best effort out there.

GRACE: Everybody, we are talking to Sierra`s mom. And believe you me, you`re seeing all these clips of her at dance competitions and at cheerleading events. All of that takes time and money -- not on the part of the child, but on the part of the parent. It takes a dedicated parent to have that child at every practice, at every dance practice.

She probably went over that little dance routine right there a hundred times in front of her mother before she performed it on stage. And you know who was in the front row? Sierra`s mother cheering her on.

And tonight we need you to help us bring Sierra home. With me is her mother, Marlene LaMar.

Now, Ms. LaMar, everyone is focusing in on your boyfriend and the ex- husband. So let`s just clear all that up right now. The ex-husband lives in Fremont. It`s what, about 45 miles away. And he has been completely cooperative with police, correct?

LAMAR: That is totally correct. And I don`t want to stick too much on that subject. I really want to stick with searching for my daughter, you know, because that`s where the urgency is.

GRACE: I understand. I understand. So I`m going to take this to Ellie Jostad. Ellie, it`s my understanding that the mom`s boyfriend and the father, the bio dad, who lives about 45 minutes away, have been completely and totally cooperative.

ELLIE JOSTAD, NANCY GRACE PRODUCER: Yes, that`s correct, Nancy. And the sheriff`s department tells us that they have confirmed the whereabouts of everybody that morning. It all checks out. There`s nothing suspicious there.

GRACE: Everybody, we are taking your calls. Joining me right now, Marc Klaas, president and founder, Klaas Kids Foundation.

Marc, you`ve been on this case from the beginning. What do you make of the recent update we are learning in the minutes before we go to air, her pocketbook was found hidden, or as police say, secreted away, with personal items in it, her clothing neatly folded up inside the pocketbook?

Was the purse thrown away? Was it hidden? It doesn`t sound to me like she would have gotten rid of her own little pocketbook. She loved this little pocketbook. It was one of her favorites.

MARC KLAAS, KLAAS KIDS FOUNDATION: And you`re exactly right, Nancy is. There are ominous tones to this. But it`s also encouraging to know that the sheriff`s department is absolutely investigating this and they`re coming up with new evidence all the time. Every piece of evidence brings us closer to Sierra.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Were the clothes that were folded the ones that she was wearing when she left the house?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We cannot confirm that, that she was wearing that when she was last seen. Because nobody saw Sierra leave the house, we don`t know for a fact if those are the clothes she was wearing, or for whatever reason, those are extra clothes she had inside her bag at the time.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You said it was -- you made a point to say neatly folded. Does that mean to imply she was going someplace, possibly running away? Does that mean anything to you?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It`s information that the detectives still cannot determine as to why these clothes were neatly folded inside the bag. But that is specifically how the clothes were found, neatly folded inside the bag.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

 ::snipping2::

GRACE: OK. To Sierra`s mom. Marlene LaMar, is with us right now. Marlene, again, thank you for being with us.

Everyone, tip line 408-299-2311. This is an upscale area just outside San Jose suburbs.

What can you tell us about this little Juicy couture pocketbook? Was it one of her favorites, as we`ve been told?

LAMAR: Yes. She frequently brought it to school. She had her pens and pencils in it. She -- you know -- you know, instead of a backpack, she would carry that to carry her school supplies.

GRACE: You know, I was wondering where her books and papers and homework was. Would it have been in this bag?

LAMAR: I would see her carrying some things when, you know -- you know, when she would return from school, I would see her carrying the bag and I would see her carrying the notebook and her school books separately. But then she also put things in her bag, as well, that would fit in there.

GRACE: So she used it kind of like a backpack sometimes?

LAMAR: She would just put it on her shoulder because it was a good -- medium-sized purse.

GRACE: Did she also carry a backpack for her school books?

LAMAR: No. No. No.

GRACE: OK. What do you make of the clothes being neatly folded into that Juicy couture pocketbook?

LAMAR: You know, I have -- I have no idea as far as the contents or anything like that. And so I`m not going to guess, you know, but I...

GRACE: Got it.

LAMAR: Truthfully, I have no idea. And I don`t want to jeopardize the investigation...

GRACE: Yes. I agree.

LAMAR: ... you know, because I don`t...

GRACE: I agree.

LAMAR: But I`m telling you that I`m hearing a lot of different things, and there`s confusion, and you know, just like the confusion about her leaving at 7:15, you know, for the bus. And then I`ve been hearing other times that were inaccurate. So I don`t want to jeopardize the investigation because, you know, just things are just getting tossed out there. I know people are trying to help, but it`s important to, you know, get their information from the police department.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JOSE CARDOZA, SPOKESMAN, SANTA CLARA SHERIFF`S OFFICE: But there was a bag, specifically a Juicy purse, a Juicy bag belonging to Sierra LaMar that was found Sunday about 1:00 PM. Members of the sheriff`s office search and rescue team found this Juicy bag belonging to Sierra.

Inside the bag was some of Sierra`s clothing, a pair of pants and a T- shirt neatly folded, neatly put inside this bag. This bag was located on Santa Teresa (ph) Boulevard in Laguna, which is within a couple of miles of Sierra`s mother`s house.

The reason the information wasn`t immediately made available to the public was because we had to confirm that the clothes did belong to Sierra, and we had to do some further investigative follow-up on that. Through confirmation from Sierra`s family and through some of the investigative efforts, we have now confirmed that those clothes and the bag did belong to Sierra.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: We are hearing this update in the search for literally an all- American girl. Take a look at Sierra LaMar, disappearing on her way to school in broad daylight. Where is this girl? We want her home with her mother!

Her mother joining us now and taking your calls. To Marlene LaMar. This is Sierra`s mom. She loved this purse. I don`t think she would ever have just ditched it on the side of the road, Ms. LaMar.

LAMAR: No, no. She did like that purse a lot and...

GRACE: OK, I want to go out...

LAMAR: ... she had it with her frequently.

 ::snipping2::

GRACE: We are also told that the biological father has come out on his own and publicly addressed the fact that he is, in fact, a registered sex offender.

Unleash the lawyers. Peter Odom, Alan Ripka. Also with us, Becka Crumren (ph), family law attorney.

OK, first of all, Peter Odom, I don`t know if that took focus off the search for the girl and focus on him but I can tell you this much for him to co-operate with police and go, yes, this happened, I did, what, 200 days, 100-x days behind bars. I was on five years` probation, he came out. He publicly addressed it. He`s been cooperating with the police. I think that`s an a-plus for him.

PETER ODOM, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Right. None of the things you might -- none of the evasiveness or minimization took place here. He put it right up front. He admitted what he had done, talked about his sin is tense and said let`s move on. Absolutely the right thing to do.

GRACE: An, you know to you, Bekka (ph) (INAUDIBLE), joining us from Atlanta. I`m not saying I`m happy that he`s a registered sex offender, I`m not happy. But I don`t care about that. I don`t care what anybody did before. I care about this girl and are they cooperating with the investigation. Right now that`s all that matters. Agree or disagree?

BEKKA (ph), DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Absolutely. He`s cooperating with everybody and he`s keeping the investigation on the right track.

GRACE: You know, Alan Ripka, of course it sends up a red flag in my mind that he`s a registered sex offender. Of course it does. But if police are saying they have alibi him for the time he goes missing, you know what, that`s all that matters right now at this hour.

ALAN RIPKA, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Absolutely. It doesn`t make a difference what his background is if they have no evidence to implicate him in the crime, what the difference what his past is is, and he`s helping and cooperating and he`s her dad.

GRACE: OK. Do you, Bethany Marshall, psychoanalyst, author of "deal breakers." Bethany, weigh in on the whole scenario.

BETHANY MARSHALL, PSYCHOANALYST, AUTHOR, DEAL BREAKERS: Well, I think sex predators sometimes do form online communities, so I would be very interested in who the father was talking to and was he giving information about the daughter. I think something went terribly wrong as this young girl left to go to school, and I would be looking at her computer and I would be trying to determine was there a sex predator who was luring her online, maybe told her he was going to meet her for breakfast or she was going to skip school and that`s why she had that extra clothing is that she thought she was going on a date.

But as soon as he picked her up, the offending began and whoever did this, Nancy, was in a sexual frenzy because the offending pattern happened right away, the purse, the cell phone were discarded immediately, so the offending pattern is going to be a very important clue when the police look at sex predators in that community or vicinity.

Is there a sex predator who just got out of jail because sex predators who have just gotten out of prison notoriously offend more quickly and more viciously? Is there somebody who has committed domestic homicide or somebody whose offending pattern is with girls in this particular age range?

The research shows often it will be a white married male in his 30s with children driving a family type vehicle. So I would in particular look at those types of men.

GRACE: Bethany, what are you talking about sex predators have online community and if you would also address the offending starts immediately. Explain.

MARSHALL: In terms of the online community, sometimes they congregate together so that they can share photographs, pictures. I mean, often they get caught but, you know, there`s online blogs. They know that they can get access to child victims through other sex predators.

So, this father may have been unknowingly or unwittingly giving information about his daughter to another predator. In terms of the offending pattern, the research shows that some of these sex predators work themselves into a frenzy before they meet the victim so that the rape/homicide can start right away.

GRACE: I`m getting a little more information right now.

Out to you Vivian Ho, "San Francisco Chronicle." I`m getting an exact address of where the purse was found. Sergeant Jose Cardoza says the juicy couture bag found at the intersection of Santa Teresa boulevard in Laguna avenue. Is that a highly traveled intersection?

VIVIAN HO, REPORTER, THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE (via telephone): Like the cell phone, it was found not near the intersection but of the roadway at the side. And, you know, it`s not really traveled but, you know, it is -- it was within a couple miles of her house.

GRACE: So what about it, Henry K. Lee, I know both the cell phone and the bag were thrown out into the weeds and fields, but that intersection, what can you tell me about that location, the intersection of Laguna Ave and Santa Teresa boulevard.

HENRY K. LEE, REPORTER, THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE: Well, that location, Santa Teresa boulevard, is the main issue we`re dealing with. These things were discarded like trash off the side of the road. It`s not an urban area, not rural, probably - you know, it`s a traveled road but, keep in mind, when Marlene was passing out fliers, there were a lot of cars coming through. We don`t know if someone may have decided this is a crime of opportunity. If she was indeed at the bus stop. So, there are a the lot of cars and school buses travel on this road. And it`s very, very distressing to know these items were thrown out like that.

GRACE: OK, to Steve Moore, former FBI agent, violent crime investigator, joining us out of L.A. Steve, the feds aren`t in on this. What can you tell me about the dogs, the bloodhounds, only tracking her as far as the end of her own driveway?

STEVE MOORE, FORMER FBI AGENT, VIOLENT CRIME INVESTIGATION: Well, if the dogs are accurate, what that means is that she likely got into a vehicle of somebody she knew. Nobody would be that audacious to pick somebody up in an argument or in some kind of conflict in front of the house where they live. I believe she may have is known the person, been familiar with the person, or at least felt safe with the person, and then the person immediately, by the location of the phone and the purse, changed the situation on her and tossed the stuff out of the car.

GRACE: Back to sierra`s mother, Marlene Lamar, with us tonight. Miss Lamar, are other children walking to the school bus at that time?

MARLENE LAMAR, SIERRA LAMAR`S MOTHER (via telephone): No, no. Well, I`m pretty sure that there wasn`t. I know that she was the only one at the bus stop that would catch the bus there.

GRACE: And that was the public school bus, correct?

LAMAR: It`s a school bus, a district bus.

GRACE: And when did you first learn, Miss Lamar, that she was actually missing and how did you learn?

LAMAR: Well, I usually text her before leaving my work, and it was about 3:45 that I leave. And I didn`t get a response. I tried again. I didn`t get a response. And then I drove home.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

 ::snipping2::

GRACE: Help us find sierra. Her mother with us tonight at a vigil breaking down in tears, holding on to her daughter`s dirty sock, so she can hold it, pray her daughter will come home. She comes home from work, finds the daughter gone. Races to the school. Starts trying to talk to students, teachers, trying to find her daughter.

A 15-year-old girl literally scrubbed in sunshine goes missing on her way to school, broad daylight. This is in upscale just beyond the suburbs outside of San Jose.

We are taking your calls. Let`s go out to Norma, Tennessee. Hi Norma, what`s your question, dear?

NORMA, CALLER, TENNESSEE: Will you kindly answered it, for it was about his dad. But could there be maybe somebody, the dad is associated with that knew the little girl?

GRACE: Good question. To Larry Fishelson, telecommunication expert, co-founder of dial and communications, joining us out in New York.

To Larry Fishelson, had she been carrying on probably phone calls or texting, probably unbeknownst to her who she is even talking to, that`s a possibility. Will we be able to determine that from her cell phone which has been recovered?

LARRY FISHELSON, TELECOMMUNICATIONS EXPERT: Yes, Nancy, we will be able to recover this. This cell phone, and she has a Samsung galaxy android, is going to be the blueprint of this case. You`re going to be able to see calls, texts, pictures, memos that were in that phone. But what they`re going to be looking for here are patterns, patterns if she went on social media sites, plus, with this phone they will be able to track every 45 minutes where that phone has been. So, they`re going to go back between the last week and the last month and look at patterns where she was, she was on social media sites, if there were calls, there were texts, if she was being lured in.

And then they will look at the sex offenders that are in the area, and they can get subpoenas on their phones as well and try to cross reference everything. This is in-depth now telecom forensics which holds many clues and hopefully will be able to lead to finding this young girl.

GRACE: With us Larry Fishelson out of New York.

To Dr. Bill Lloyd, what if anything, forensically can we get from the cell phone and from the clothing neatly folded in that juicy couture purse?

DOCTOR BILL LLOYD, M.D., BOARD CERTIFIED SURGEON, PATHOLOGIST: Good evening, Nancy. Many questions about that juicy couture bag. The police tell us that they have confirmed that the contents of the bag belonged to Sierra. But the mother says she hasn`t seen the contents. So how did they confirm it?

Nonetheless, even though they were folded, the garments could be soiled, there could be blood. There could be other forms of trace evidence there, hair, for example, seminal fluid, et cetera, that can be vital in tracking down a perpetrator.

Volunteers to Search This Weekend for Sierra Lamar After FBI Spends Friday at Family Home

By: Brian Shields - Fri, 23 Mar 2012 20:50:48 -0800

MORGAN HILL (KRON) -- The FBI has now wrapped up an initial search of the home where missing teenager Sierra Lamar lived with her mother.

KRON 4's J.R. Stone reports agents first took photos of the exterior of the family home.  Later an FBI mobile crime lab pulled up to the home and investigators went inside to look for more evidence of what happened to Sierra.  The focus on the house comes a week to the day after Sierra was last seen heading for her school bus stop.

Crime scene investigators also spent time doing an intensive search of a wooded area next to the home behind a large back fence.  Other agents went door to door in the neighborhood canvassing for more information about Sierra's disappearance.

"They came knocking on the door," neighbor Sydney Flores says.  "About eight of them came in and they just went through the whole house, looking searching through the bedrooms, the closets.  They went into the garage and up into the loft.  They walked around the perimeter.  It was quite interesting when they came walking in.  You can't say no.  They were very nice and cordial and asked the questions that needed to be asked and we answered them the best that we could."


 ::snipping2::

"There's a perception her cell phone was thrown from a moving car," Klaas tells KRON 4 News.  "Now the bag that had the clothing in it also seems to have been thrown from a moving car.  My best sense after having gone to visit the family is that they're living in a pretty remote place and if you don't have business in that neighborhood, chances are very great that you're not going to be in that neighborhood.  Now, it's at the very end of a cul-de-sac which has about eight houses on each side leading up to the turns left to the road that she turns left to to walk to the school bus and from that point on, it's nothing but fields, nothing but farmland.  I personally believe that whatever happened to her happened in that cul-de-sac and I think the business with the cell phone and the couture bag being found in a different direction might just be misdirection."

LAMAR: That is totally correct. And I don`t want to stick too much on that subject. I really want to stick with searching for my daughter, you know, because that`s where the urgency is.

The adults in Sierra's life may have alibis for the morning of March 16th but ... could it be that something bad happened prior to that morning?  Sierra's alleged conversation on the evening of March 15th with her sister and father appears to be scripted.  I could be wrong.

Bottom Line:  Were the adults in Sierra's life requested to take a polygraph?  Were vehicles seized and forensically tested?  Were the cell phone and computer analyzed?  Were residences/properties forensically searched?  If not; why not?

The night before Sierra disappeared, Danielle LaMar left Sacramento State for spring break and joined her father at his Fremont townhouse. On their way back from dinner, Sierra, a 5-foot-2-inch brunette, called. They put her on speakerphone.

"She was talking about how she wanted to get her hair done the next time she went to Fremont. She wanted to add some blond streaks," Danielle LaMar said. "She was very excited about one of her school assignments, telling me about her research paper. Bringing up her grades made her happy."

 03/21/2012 10:23:55 PM PDT

Making the case even more complicated is that her father, a computer engineer, is a registered sex offender. He pleaded no contest in 2009 to "lewd acts" with a minor younger than 14 after he fondled a friend of his older daughter's at a slumber party in 1999. ....

LaMar said when his daughter disappeared Friday, he immediately told police about his criminal background "in the interests of openness, truthfulness and cooperation."

Sierra's sister, Danielle LaMar, 21, said despite her father's conviction and her parents' divorce, the family of four remains tight-knit. "I've always been really close with my dad," she said.

Roadblock Set in Sierra LaMar Search
Police are re-examining the bus stop LaMar used.
By Bob Redell
Friday, Mar 23, 2012  |  Updated 7:56 AM PDT

The FBI has set up a roadblock on Dougherty Avenue near the intersection with Palm Avenue as part of their investigation into the disappearance of 15-year-old Sierra Lamar.

She was supposed to catch a school bus at that intersection last Friday but never made it.
 
Agents are stopping every driver and quizzing them about their recollection of the morning of March 16 when Sierra disappeared. 

Police are asking if motorists saw anything unusual and if this is the route that motorist would normally take? The road block started around 7 a.m. No word if this has yielded any new clues or information.

Sierra's mother, Marlene LaMar, pleaded for help this morning, but she didn't seem to realize she referred to her daughter in the past tense.

"I'm hoping that you know, you think of her as your own child. You know, she's, she was such a lovable young lady," LaMar said.

Investigators have no evidence that something bad happened to Sierra LaMar -- no signs of foul play. There's also no indication that she ran away.

Investigators scour north Morgan Hill for Sierra LaMar leads

Teen has been missing for eight days

Posted: Saturday, March 24, 2012 10:59 am | Updated: 11:56 am, Sat Mar 24, 2012.
Morgan Hill Staff | 0 comments

Still hampered by a dearth of leads, law enforcement authorities began to swarm the areas surrounding the home of missing 15-year-old Sierra LaMar Saturday morning.

The heightened search efforts will cover a 12-mile radius from Palm and Dougherty avenues in north Morgan Hill, the site of the school bus stop that LaMar usually walks to on her way to Sobrato High School. The search will include about 60 members of search and rescue teams from the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies, according to Sgt. Jose Cardoza of the sheriff’s office.

Four search K-9 dogs will also participate in the search, Cardoza added. The FBI joined the local search efforts earlier this week.

The other agencies are assisting through a “state mutual aid request,” he said.

LaMar never made it to onto the school bus the morning of Friday, March 16. She lives with her mother and mother’s boyfriend a few hundred yards away, and typically starts walking to the bus stop between 7:10 and 7:15 a.m., according to her parents and authorities.

LaMar was at home at 6 a.m., when her mother and mother’s boyfriend left the home, and her Twitter account shows her last “tweet” was posted at 6:29 a.m. from the home. Police have also noted that LaMar sent a text message from her cell phone, while she was at home, at 7:11 a.m. the day she was reported missing.

Tracking dogs employed in an initial search Saturday, March 17, lost her scent at the end of her driveway, which meets a cul-de-sac at the end of a rural court. Her mobile smartphone was found by searchers Saturday evening in a field near Scheller Avenue and Santa Teresa Boulevard, about three-quarters of a mile northwest of her home, police said.

On Sunday, investigators found LaMar’s “Juicy” brand purse, containing a “neatly folded” pair of pants, T-shirt and undergarments, Cardoza said. Those items were found farther north off the road on Santa Teresa Boulevard, near Laguna Avenue.

Authorities do not yet have any evidence confirming that LaMar disappeared as a result of a kidnapping or other crime, but they also have found no indication that she willingly ran away.

The purpose of Saturday’s search is to look for any such evidence, locate possible crime scene areas, and find any other items that could lead investigators to LaMar’s whereabouts, Cardoza said.

CW heres a Pic of moms house, it seems to be last home at the end of cul-de-sac.  There are houses to the right and homes across the street.

Thanks BabsKats

Could it be that a deceased Sierra was placed in a vehicle and taken from the residence?  Could Sierra's cell phone and Juicy bag have been thrown from that vehicle to give the impression that an abduction had occured.

I have not read ONE article that states the time that the elusive Rick Gardiner left for work.  Could he have returned as Sierra was about to head out the door?  In the process of elimination ... in the pursuit of truth ... was Gardiner's alibi checked out?  Was Gardiner's vehicle seized and forensically tested?  Were construction sites that Gardiner are currently connected to officially searched?  Was a polygraph requested of Gardiner?  If not; why not?

Roadblock Set in Sierra LaMar Search
Friday, Mar 23, 2012

NBC Bay Area has learned new information about Sierra's personal belongings found in a field not far from her home.

One of those items is a San Jose Sharks shirt, very similar to what she was wearing last Friday morning in a photo she took on her home computer.

Why was San Jose Sharks shirt that Sierra was wearing in a computer photo which was  taken sometime in the hour prior to when she was to leave the home to catch the school bus found folded neatly in her Juicy bag?

Purse Containing Folded Clothes Becomes Focus of Sierra Lamar Search 
Thu, 22 Mar 2012 13:19:11 -0800


MORGAN HILL (KRON) -- Investigators looking into the disappearance of 15-year Sierra Lamar say a purse found Sunday contained "neatly folded" clothes that belong to the missing girl.

"The detectives still cannot determine why these clothes were folded neatly in the bag but that is specifically how the clothes were found, folded neatly inside the bag," Santa Clara County sheriff's Sgt. Jose Cardoza said

Cardoza says authorities withheld information about the clothes in order to confirm with the Lamar family that they did belong to Sierra.

The 15-year old disappeared last Friday after leaving home to go to a bus stop to take her to school.  Authorities say since no one saw her leave, investigators aren't sure what she was wearing at the time.

Sorry, I wasn't done but hit the button anyhoo!  I'm beginning to think this may be one of her night shirts or used as one as she has different colored eye shadow on also in each pic.  Now, if she IS using this as a night shirt could she have stuffed it with clean pants and underwear in her Juicy bag to go sneak off and spend the night or maybe even run away with someone who lured her away?  She may have had all intentions of running off with someone she met/knew/online and they picked her up in her driveway but when that person got there it wasn't who she thought she had met online?  I'm also leaning toward Janet's way...what if she wasn't even home that Friday morn and Mom is covering?  Would like Mom and BF polygraphed!  If she was home that morn BF knew what time she left for school and could have come right back to get her, attack her and dump body and still make it to work relatively on time.  She could have been in his truck/car all day and nobody know and he could dispose of at any time before getting home!

Bingo!

melisb ... if Mom is being truthful ... could it be that BF returned and ... something bad happened  after Sierra's 7:11 AM text?    The outcome? It was a deceased Sierra that was taken from the home sometime that day.

Bottom Line:  In the process of elimination ... in the pursuit of truth ... were the adults in Sierra's life requested to take a polygraph?  Were vehicles seized and forensically tested?  Were the cell phone and computer records analyzed?  Were residences/properties forensically searched?  Were construction sites with a connection to BF searched?  Were alibis confirmed?  If not; why not?

In a Nutshell

Investigators scour north Morgan Hill for Sierra LaMar leads
Saturday, March 24, 2012 10:59 am


<snipped>
 
LaMar never made it to onto the school bus the morning of Friday, March 16. She lives with her mother and mother’s boyfriend a few hundred yards away, and typically starts walking to the bus stop between 7:10 and 7:15 a.m., according to her parents and authorities.

LaMar was at home at 6 a.m., when her mother and mother’s boyfriend left the home, and her Twitter account shows her last “tweet” was posted at 6:29 a.m. from the home. Police have also noted that LaMar sent a text message from her cell phone, while she was at home, at 7:11 a.m. the day she was reported missing.

Also ... when questioned on NG last night ... why was Marlene so evasive regarding Rick Gardiner and Steve Lamar.  I have a gut feeling stuff is going on behind the scenes.

GRACE: Now, Ms. LaMar, everyone is focusing in on your boyfriend and the ex- husband. So let`s just clear all that up right now. The ex-husband lives in Fremont. It`s what, about 45 miles away. And he has been completely cooperative with police, correct?

LAMAR: That is totally correct. And I don`t want to stick too much on that subject. I really want to stick with searching for my daughter, you know, because that`s where the urgency is.

Sierra Lamar: Friends, Family Hold Vigil For Missing California Teen
By ALYSSA NEWCOMB (@alyssanewcomb)
March 24, 2012

After a week of few leads and dashed hopes, missing teen Sierra LaMar's family, friends and classmates gathered at a candlelight vigil for the Morgan Hill, Calif., girl who has been missing for nine days.

"We want you to come back home. We know you will find your way back to us," Sierra's mother, Marlene LaMar, said among the flickering candles and teary-eyed supporters Friday.

The FBI set up a roadblock where LaMar would usually board her bus and is stopping drivers who pass through, hoping someone will provide a clue that could help bring Sierra home.

Video, I transcribed part of it below.  I'm sorry but I didn't catch the interviewer Lester's last name.

http://www.hulu.com/watch/343600/nbc-today-show-where-is-sierra-lamar#http://www.hulu.com/feed/recent/tv?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

 ::snipping2::

Lester (NBC Today): Yesterday the FBI searched Sierra's backyard, they appeared to have taken several items from her parents home.  After a week, what would prompt them to go back there and to conduct that kind of a search?

Clint Van Zandt:  Well part of the challenge Lester, in a case like this you have to establish that the victim actually left her home.  We know there was supposedly a text message that morning but she never appeared at the bus stop, she was never seen by anybody apparently standing out on the street waiting for that bus, so we have to account for the period the last time she was known to be in her house and bring that forward.  The FBI is trying to establish could anything have happened to her before she got to the road, before she even got to the bus stop.

Lester (NBC Today): It's not that there aren't clues in this case, but they're puzzling.  Let's talk about that bag that police found.  It contained clothes that possibly belonged to Sierra, but they were neatly folded as we heard in Kristen's report.  What does that tell you about the likelihood that this may or may not have been an abduction?

Clint Van Zandt: Well the FBI, the local police, the sheriff's office, Lester they have to consider a two track investigation.  Track number one is that she disappeared of her own volition, she's a runaway, look there are two thousand children reported missing in the United States every day so we have to consider a runaway.  But number two is was she in fact kidnapped?  Well we find her backpack or whatever and her clothes have been described as neatly folded, Lester you have to put yourself in the frame of a kidnapper, if you grab this girl at the bus stop or near, you pull her in your vehicle and a mile away her backpack is found with the clothing she was wearing neatly folded, that time frame doesn't seem to fit.  So this is either a red herring trying to make the authorities believe something else or there is another explanation the police still haven't figured out.

Lester (NBC Today): I hear you there, but then there's the cellphone that was found about a mile away and I don't want to be glib here but teenage girls are not separated from their cell phones voluntarily.

Clint Van Zandt: Yeah, and again Lester, there's always two ways to look at it.  Where I work in this case as an FBI agent number one I'd say a kidnapper could have ripped the phone and threw it out the window so she couldn't call and so the authorities couldn't follow the pings from cell towers.  Number two is that if you want to make yourself look like you've disappeared you get rid of the thing that we believes teenager and everyone else would hold on to and that's the cell phone.  If we find the cell phone thrown away, then it should be obvious she was kidnapped, the authorities have to be very careful not to go down one road or the other, kidnapped or a runaway, until they find out for sure which is the right road.

The clothing being neatly folded makes me think of the James Edward Hogan case.  His neatly folded clothes were found with blood on them after his disappearance.  Many comments were made about that (neatly folding clothes) being something that people who are or have been in the military commonly do.

I hope they plan on searching the area west of Morgan Hill along McKean and Uvas.  I've lived in the bay area my whole life and I'm pretty familiar with the terrain.  I've ridden my motorcycle on Bailey and down Uvas towards the reservoir a few times.  There isn't much up here, and not a lot going on even on the weekends, which is the main reason I choose to ride around the area.  I would think early morning on a weekday would be pretty deserted.  There are tons of parks, reservoirs and undeveloped land.  If you do a drive by on google maps, you can see any side street in this area would provide plenty of privacy, cover, and time... just what the perp would need, and only minutes from Sierra's neighborhood by car.

I didn't see any reports stating they were searching this area yet.  I hope they will in the near future because I have a strong feeling this is an appealing place for someone looking to harm a person/dump a body.

Huge search for missing Morgan Hill girl yields no new clues
Posted:   03/25/2012 06:40:44 AM PDT


More than 100 members of Bay Area search-and-rescue teams scoured a 12-mile radius Saturday, but no new clues were discovered in the search for Sierra LaMar, the missing 15-year-old Morgan Hill girl.

It was the largest search effort since the former Fremont resident went missing more than a week ago, according to Sgt. Jose Cardoza, spokesman for the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff's search-team members from Santa Clara, Marin, Alameda, San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties braved the rain from 10 a.m. to dusk and searched an area that stretched from the San Jose-Morgan Hill border to Hecker Pass near Gilroy, Cardoza said.

"We expanded our search," he said. "This is the most personnel we've used and the farthest we've gone."

Sierra's family and friends say they're refusing to give up hope. They attended a candlelight vigil Friday night at Fremont's Washington High School, which Sierra attended before moving to Morgan Hill in October.

FBI agents have been assisting sheriff's deputies with the investigation the past few days, recanvassing the area and searching the home of Marlene LaMar, Sierra's mother, with her consent, according to the sheriff's office.

I've been looking at that this morning too, I don't see yet where it has been sold since she bought it.  

Does she still own it?  It shows "not on the market" on everything I've found but shows her as the last buyer.

The current value of it on some of the listings I've found are a lot less than she paid for it.

Seems like if she does still own it, a mortgage and rent would be a lot every month?

Maybe Steve Lamar took over the mortgage payments?  In some pictures I was looking at it showed him and Danielle outside his "townhouse" by a tennis court.  Didn't say the location, but I'm sure it was in Fremont too.

Thanks Sassifrass

Could this be when Rick Gardiner entered the scenario?  Where did Rick reside prior to the relationship?  Where is his place of employment?

Most mothers would have moved heaven and earth to prevent their minor daughter from moving into the home of a RSO ... father or not.

If Marlene had blinders on in regards to the potential risks of Sierra living with her RSO father ... could it be she had blinders on in regards to the potential risks presented by a boyfriend living under the same roof as her beautiful 15 year old daughter.

March 24, 2012


<snipped

Sierra LaMar's parents are divorced, and she lived with her father in Fremont, Calif., until October, when she moved in with her mother and transferred to Sobrata High School in Morgan Hills.

ABC News has learned that Steve LaMar is a registered sex offender and is currently on probation for committing lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age.

Hi Monkey's,

Is RAG divorced?  When was he divorced?   He is a cutie pie, on his FB photo. 
I included his middle initial, no disrespect, is intended.

The clothing being neatly folded makes me think of the James Edward Hogan case.  His neatly folded clothes were found with blood on them after his disappearance.  Many comments were made about that (neatly folding clothes) being something that people who are or have been in the military commonly do.
Just a thought...

Texasmom, that is quite a thought! 

I wonder if she missed the bus, and because of the rain, she accepted a ride?
I read this on JQ a few days ago this, nothing conclusive, just a flag went off in my brain.

I just don't know many 15 year olds that are dreamin of a baby with a soldier.

I haven't had much luck with the divorce records in Ca. but I think this may be his daughter Ashley's mother

Hi.
I was wondering if anyone had heard more about Sierra's friends saying "She is with Ty"? I have been reading different sites related to her disappearance and found something interesting. It's probably putting 2+2 together and gettings 5 but...
Sierra's tumblr account is:
http://cccairuh.tumblr.com/

It's a bit scarey to me! (Mom of a 12 year old.) Anyhow, after I read that and started thinking about things she showed interest in I started googling for variations on Ty, both combined with her name and by itself. (99zillion hits for 'ty' btw, LOL!) This is what I found:
http://www.ticketmaster.com/Tyga-tickets/artist/1240616

Tyga is a rapper who will be performing in the Bay Area this week. I'm pretty sure Sierra pictures of him on her tumblr account. I know she had several rappers, but don't know them by name. I was thinking maybe her friends initially thought she had taken off to see the concert earlier. I -hope- she just took off like teenagers sometimes do for a concert. It's better than the possibility of abduction to me.

I'm probably grasping at straws. What do y'all think?

I'm with you TM - I don't understand the leap from folding clothes to wanting to have a soldiers baby.  Unless one of her friends or one of her tweets implied that.

Thanks, Klaasend,
I agree, sadly.  ::MonkeyNoNo::
There are just to many things that "feel off" (a teens clothes folded in the purse.but no brush, makeup, etc)
I also can't imagine  -any- 15 year old willingly throwing out a cellphone, especially one of that quality (and especially when Sierra is so plugged in to tweets/tumblr/txting!). The Mom's unusual statements, the mom's bf, the recent school change, the Father being a RSO...Lotsa weird.

The references to her friends saying that are on various sites like The Hinkey Meter http://www.thehinkymeter.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1590&p=254621

It's not been commented on by LE, so it might just be another rumor (probably is...)
but I keep trying to think outside the box.

There are so many rumors on the net, but hopefully that's just a sign people -do- care and are paying attention these cases. It's probably more like people slow down to look at an accident, but I like to think, "The glass is half full."

Sierra LaMar search remains fruitless - investigators consider new strategies
03/25/2012 04:42:06 PM PDT


For the scores of searchers trying to find a missing 15-year-old Morgan Hill girl, Sunday was a day to take stock, and to begin to think about the future focus of the search.

The day after more than 100 members of Bay Area search-and-rescue teams scoured a 12-mile radius area but found no clues in the disappearance of Sierra LaMar, investigators on Sunday poured through existing evidence and the many interviews done by detectives and patrol officers in recent days, in preparation for deciding how to focus the search in future days.

"Today is kind of a catch-up day," said Sgt. Jose Cardoza of the Santa Clara County Sheriffs Office. In the coming days, he said investigators will be grappling with whether they should expand the search, narrow it or change its focus. "There are a lot of operations meetings today about what we are doing and what needs to be done."

Saturday was the largest search effort since the former Fremont resident went missing more than a week ago. The search has included possible "crime scene areas" along Highway 152 on the approaches to Pacheco Pass and Hecker Pass.

<snipped>

FBI agents have been assisting sheriff's deputies with the investigation the past few days, recanvassing the area and searching the home of Marlene LaMar, Sierra's mother, with her consent, according to the sheriff's office.

when I google his twitter handle on images I see a pic of sierra from google plus but I cannot connect it on a link
I have not located his real name either but I see alot of pics of guns and drugs on some sites like

So no searches today.  This is so sad and frustrating.  She's out there somewhere!  I hope they allow volunteer search parties soon.  I understand their worry about contaminating possible evidence, but the longer any evidence is sitting out exposed to sun, rain, wind and animals, the harder it will be to figure out what happened anyway.  There's got to be hundreds of people willing to help, myself included.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I asked a while back for a Monkey to help me because I thought I had connected Sierra to TYLER the CREATOR a rapper from OFWGKTA!!!  He is on her Twitter account with a pic of an Asian man.  In one of her Tweets from days before the 16th she states something about slapping Tyler as if she is actually with him.  The group went to Miami on the 17th from the Bay area!!!!!  I said before that I do believe she is with somone and they didn't want any tracing of her with clothes or by phone ping. If this does turn out to be true there is no telling where this girl could be shuttled to to keep Tyler from getting arrested from being with an underage girl!  So I'm asking again....will a Monkey much smarter than me start running this down???

What should we look for?  Any ideas?  Surely if this is the "Ty" that her friends are saying she may be with, LE has or is checking it out.

I'm more than willing to look, I'm just not sure what to look for.

I posted a couple of her re tweets from him earlier, but her page wouldn't load very far back for me.  I'll try to go back further again.

this guy TY that is her age on her twitter friends goes by the name hightimes (tyler the creator is a rapper from CA) BUT her twitter friend TY aka hightimesty may be tyler too?he goes by the creators record name as well on twitter.
here the rappers info he has a blue check on his twitter but its not his pic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyler,_The_Creator

this is a snapshot of a google search of TY VSCVNI twitter handle

Hello Everyone!

It could be that sierra knows Tyler the Creator even though I see no connection from him to her other than her RT

I think that it makes more sense to me that the rumor of TY is ........
(http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee509/Sallie1233/ooo.jpg)

this guy is on her twitter maybe she didnt want to get caught talking to him?

she having a school friend with the handle TY makes more sense to me no offense because you never know.

and Maybe this friend rumored her to be with TY is also a Tyler. His friend doesnt think she was kidnapped but who knows Im just putting the info out there  ::MonkeyAngel::

I think maybe I'm wishing that this little girl (who seems to be livin' hard for her age as some do)ran away with someone rather than the most obvious.  One or two of her tweets are gone, esp. the one where she says she's slapping him.  Idk, Dad says she loves music...wish someone would just check the group out to see if they really know her.  She coulda run with an older friend just to follow them around.  Who knows?

I hope they will check every possible lead.

I looked at that other twitter account that had the appearance of being Sierra's a few days back, I think it may have been bogus; maybe by some that didn't like her?  She and one of her friends made comments on her twitter page that seemed to maybe be about it.  It's here somewhere...

Join The Search for Sierra LaMar!

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yo6Qj_hJisY/T2-31zQk__I/AAAAAAAAAbM/A8e0pj1uC80/s320/521954_385105361508900_100000283195887_1423981_538294766_n.jpg)


Sierra LaMar was walking to catch a school bus in Morgan Hill, CA on March 16, 2012 when she disappeared. “It's like she literally vanished,” said Sierra’s mother Marlene LaMar.

Despite well-coordinated searches by law enforcement, Sierra is still missing. Sierra's mother has called on the KlaasKids Foundation to organize a community volunteer search. The Friendswood, TX based Laura Recovery Center will assist in the Find Sierra Search effort.

Brad Dennis, Director of Search Operations for the KlaasKids Foundation has announced that volunteer searches will begin on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 at 8 a.m.  The Find Sierra Search Center is located at Burnett Elementary School at 85 Tilton Road in Morgan Hill, CA.

Individuals who would like to participate in the search for Sierra should check in at the Burnett Elementary School between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 27th. Searches will be conducted throughout the week, commencing at 8:00 a.m. daily through and including Sunday, April 1, 2012.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and bring photo identification. “Dress appropriately for the weather, wear long pants and sturdy, covered toe shoes. We need people who can do foot searches as well as individuals who are willing to work in the search center,” explained Dennis.  “We are also looking for donations of bottled water and office supplies.”

For more information about the search or information on how you can donate supplies, volunteers can call Tricia Griffiths at (801) 560-1933, or email info@klaaskids.org.

Father of missing California teen is ‘desperate for any clue’
updated 1 hour 27 minutes ago 2012-03-26T13:14:24


The airing Monday, her father, Steve LaMar, told NBC’s Kristen Dahlgren: “I’m desperate right now. I’m desperate for any, any clue.”

<snipped>

So far, the only pieces of evidence found have been Sierra’s cell phone and her Juicy purse, found alongside the road just miles from her home with her clothes folded neatly inside. Authorities believe they are the same clothes Sierra was wearing in a picture she took the morning she disappeared.

Seahorse, maybe I can answer your question.  All the students in my Son's school are issued a complete set of textbooks to keep at home so they do not have to travel back and forth with them.  The same book(s) is in class and most of them have work books that go along with the notebook he keeps for that class.  Much less back breaking.  Now I live in a smaller town in Florida so I don't know how it is there.  If that isn't Sierra's case maybe she didn't have or do homework Thursday and left all in her locker?

So many unanswered questions.  I have read at least one report that implies there were school books in the Juicy bag.
.
My contention since the getgo was that at least one of the adults in Sierra's life has knowledge/ is involved in the happenings encompassing the disappearing of this young lady.
.
The clothes found in the Juicy bag ... the clothes which authorities believe Sierra was wearing in the computer photo taken on the morning of March 16th cause me to speculate that this young lady never left her home alive.  Could it be that somebody was unaware of the computer photo that Sierra had taken of herself and ... was attempting to suggest in the planting of the Juicy bag that Sierra was planning on running away.

seahorse ... my gut feeling tells me that something bad happened in the home after her Mom left for her workplace in Fremont and ... Rick Gardiner "supposedly" left for place of business in Morgan Hill.  Considering Sierra was still home at the time of the reported 7:11 AM text to a friend ...  could it be that she expecting a ride to school from her mother's boyfriend?  Something texted must be the foundation of LE's contention that Sierra had yet to leave the home.
.
Bottom Line:  In the process of elimination ... in the pursuit of truth ... were the adults in Sierra's life requested to take a polygraph?  Were vehicles seized and forensically tested?  Were the cell phone and computer records analyzed?  Were residences/properties forensically searched?  Were construction sites with a connection to BF searched?  Were alibis confirmed?  If not; why not?

IMO

In a Nutshell

Investigators scour north Morgan Hill for Sierra LaMar leads
Saturday, March 24, 2012 10:59 am


<snipped>
 
LaMar never made it to onto the school bus the morning of Friday, March 16. She lives with her mother and mother’s boyfriend a few hundred yards away, and typically starts walking to the bus stop between 7:10 and 7:15 a.m., according to her parents and authorities.

LaMar was at home at 6 a.m., when her mother and mother’s boyfriend left the home, and her Twitter account shows her last “tweet” was posted at 6:29 a.m. from the home. Police have also noted that LaMar sent a text message from her cell phone, while she was at home, at 7:11 a.m. the day she was reported missing.

Sierra was apparently working on a school project that she was so into that her Mother, Father and Sister were all aware of.  Were there words part of a collaborated script?

LAMAR: It was just a routine day. She was going to -- you know, she was, you know, getting ready for school. But the previous evening, on Thursday evening, she was excited about doing an English paper for her classroom and doing the research on it. And so, you know, she was -- the last long conversation as far as academically, she was talking about that last night. I mean, not last night...

The night before Sierra disappeared, Danielle LaMar left Sacramento State for spring break and joined her father at his Fremont townhouse. On their way back from dinner, Sierra, a 5-foot-2-inch brunette, called. They put her on speakerphone.

"She was talking about how she wanted to get her hair done the next time she went to Fremont. She wanted to add some blond streaks," Danielle LaMar said. "She was very excited about one of her school assignments, telling me about her research paper. Bringing up her grades made her happy."

He talked to her the day before she was reported missing, and she was "happy, talking to me about homework.

"She was asking me to make an appointment so she could dye her hair," Steve LaMar said. "She wouldn't miss that appointment — if you knew my daughter."

Thank-you. Melisb,

This makes sense to me, SL's mom, said she saw her with a notebook,when NG asked about book's. ::rhino::

Santa Cruz deputies investigate unconfirmed sighting of missing Morgan Hill teen

Sentinel staff report

WATSONVILLE - Santa Cruz County deputies on Sunday investigated a possible sighting of Sierra LaMar, after a witness called 911 to report seeing a teen hitchhiking on Holohan Road that looked like the missing 15-year-old Morgan Hill girl, authorities said.

The witness reported that the girl had backpacks with her and was near the intersection of East Lake Avenue when she got into a black truck, sheriff's Lt. Bob Pursley said.

 ::snipping2::

Deputies responded to the area and broadcast an alert, but did not find the vehicle, he said. The truck was last seen about 4 p.m. heading toward Airport Boulevard, Pursley said.

The possible sighting was reported to the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office, he said.

Kim Shepard Kirkpatrick I have only known Sierra for about 6 weeks. As her morning and afternoon school bus driver, I liked Sierra the 1st day I met her. Always a smile getting on or off the bus. She thanked me as she walked down the steps, her arms full of textbooks. She seemed so happy and in great spirits. I refuse to believe she just walked out on her life and everyone who loves and cares about her. We need to find and bring her home where she belongs. Please don't stop praying for her safe return.

There's also a video that I haven't been able to find yet...

The spokesman mentions "school books" as being found with Sierra's purse, that had the clothes in it.

Not sure if it may have been a small book that would fit inside the purse or if the books were outside of the purse.

Sierra's mom described her purse on NG the other night, it wasn't big enough for her school books too.  She said she'd seen her carry her notebook and books separately from the purse that had her pencils, pens, and other items that would fit in there.

Some assignments include novels, and I could see one of those fitting inside the purse.

School Books?

NANCY GRACE
Purse of Missing California Cheerleader Found
Aired March 23, 2012 - 20:00   ET


<snipped>

GRACE: OK. To Sierra`s mom. Marlene LaMar, is with us right now. Marlene, again, thank you for being with us.

Everyone, tip line 408-299-2311. This is an upscale area just outside San Jose suburbs.

What can you tell us about this little Juicy couture pocketbook? Was it one of her favorites, as we`ve been told?

LAMAR: Yes. She frequently brought it to school. She had her pens and pencils in it. She -- you know -- you know, instead of a backpack, she would carry that to carry her school supplies.

GRACE: You know, I was wondering where her books and papers and homework was. Would it have been in this bag?

LAMAR: I would see her carrying some things when, you know -- you know, when she would return from school, I would see her carrying the bag and I would see her carrying the notebook and her school books separately. But then she also put things in her bag, as well, that would fit in there.

GRACE: So she used it kind of like a backpack sometimes?

LAMAR: She would just put it on her shoulder because it was a good -- medium-sized purse.

GRACE: Did she also carry a backpack for her school books?

LAMAR: No. No. No.

Searches for Sierra Lamar zeroed-in on 2 mile radius

KSBW.com
updated 1 hour 1 minute ago

Ten days after Sierra Lamar failed to catch her regular morning bus ride to school, sheriff's detectives are re-combing a 2 mile radius around her mother's Morgan Hill house.

"Detectives are continuing their investigative efforts (Monday) by re-canvassing the 2-mile radius area from Sierra’s mother house," Santa Clara County Sheriff's Sgt. Jose Cardoza said Monday afternoon.

Deputies said they received more than 350 tips and are busy conducting follow-up interviews with family members, classmates and friends.

Searches for the missing 15-year-old Ann Sobrato High School cheerleader are also being organized and conducted by volunteers.

The KlaasKids Foundation for Children teamed up with The Laura Recovery Center to organize a large search team on Tuesday.

KlaasKids founder Marc Klass said now is not the time to give up hope for finding Sierra safe.

Sierra LaMar Searches Come Up Empty

Weekend searches came up empty in the massive effort to find Morgan Hill teenager Sierra LaMar.

Sierra has been missing since Friday March 16, when she failed to show up for school. Police said she sent a text around 7 a.m. that morning to a friend at school, but it did not indicate she was in any distress.

On Saturday, about 90 people, along with search dogs, spent the day combing a 12-mile area of Morgan Hill near her mother's home. Investigators said they found nothing of substance
 ::snipping2::
Brad Dennis, who is the search operation coordinator for Klaas Kids said the biggest challenge for his group is that there is so much private property in and around Morgan Hill and his group will not search private property.

Michelle Le's brother joins search for LaMar

KTVU.com

MORGAN HILL, Calif. —

The family of Sierra LaMar, the teenager missing from her Morgan Hill home for more than a week, is getting some help from two people who know all too well what it's like to have a family member vanish.

Michael Le is part of the team. Last year a search volunteer found the body of his sister Michelle, a nursing student from Hayward.

"It feels like my sister is missing again, it feels like I frantically want to find Sierra," said Le.

Mark Klaas is at the center of the operations. He lost his daughter Polly nearly two decades ago and has been meeting with Sierra's family.

Klaas Kids to Lead Massive Volunteer Search for Sierra Lamar Tuesday

By: Brian Shields - Mon, 26 Mar 2012 21:00:11 -0800

MORGAN HILL (KRON) -- Missing teenager Sierra Lamar's mother says she wants her daughter to know that many people are working to bring her home safe.

"Sierra, if you're out there, you're well sought out for, people will take care of you," Marlene Lamar says.  "So wherever you are, be strong.  I know you're going to get back to us.  There are a lot of people looking out for you and they're going to help you find your way back to me."

Dozens of volunteers will gather Tuesday to begin an intensive search for Sierra who was last seen more than a week ago when she left her home to walk to a nearby bus stop.

Marc Klaas and members of the Klaas Kids Foundation spent much of the day Monday preparing for the search.

You know, I know that teen girls tend to have lots of clothes and a mom might have a difficult time determining exactly what a daughter wore to school if she weren't dressed when mom left home.  But, at some point wouldn't you sort through her clothing (maybe with her sister or friends) to see if her pj's were still in the home and if any particular outfits/articles of clothing weren't in the home?  Maybe which shoes were gone?  Shouldn't there be some idea by now of what Sierra may possibly have with her?

Initial reports indicated that the girl was approached by an unknown man who was armed with a stun gun, San Jose police Officer Jose Garcia said.

Retired FBI Agent Offers Insight In Sierra LaMar Case


Posted: Mar 27, 2012 12:16 AM CDT
Updated: Mar 27, 2012 11:43 AM CDT
By Azenith Smith - email

MORGAN HILL, Calif. - A retired FBI agent talks about the process investigators are using to find missing 15-year-old Sierra LaMar.

Rick Lack was the lead FBI investigator for a missing Seaside girl, Christina Williams. She disappeared in 1998. Seven months later, her body was found on the former Fort Ord. Her story similar to Sierra LaMar's and is drawing the same support from the FBI.

"Is she a runaway? That's possible. Has she been abducted by stranger? That's scary but that's also very possible?," says Lack.

Lack spent 23 years as an FBI agent and worked countless missing persons cases, including Christina Williams. On Monday, he said the FBI is involved because of the possibility a complete stranger abducted Sierra LaMar.

 ::snipping2::

He said, the first thing the FBI does is question the parents and make sure they're not suspects. Then, they move onto what they call "victimology," learning everything they can about the victim.

"Who are her friends? Who are her closest friends? Who are her girlfriends? I know the mother has said there isn't a boyfriend involved but often times, moms don't know everything," says Lack.

 ::snipping2::

So the FBI uses other techniques like "timeline roadblocks," stopping every car and questioning people during the same hours Sierra disappeared. They also have a "behavioral science team" who profiles, what type of person might have taken Sierra. But, in the end, he said it's the public that will help crack the case.

 ::snipping2::
Though the search for Sierra over the past 11 days has been classified merely as a missing persons case, the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said it is now "concentrating their investigative efforts" on an abduction. Detectives now say "it is highly unlikely she ran away."
"This is based on the investigative efforts and interviews with relatives and friends," the Sheriff's Office said in a statement. They noted she had "no prior runaway history (and) no negative family issues, (and there is) no other information

I agree sassifrass.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

I only need an inhaler occasionally, once or twice a year (if that) but I always have one with me, and keep an extra in my bedroom in case I should wake up and need it during the night.  If you've ever been to the point of NEEDING an inhaler, you don't want to take a chance of being without it.  Especially this time of the year.

But, if Sierra left the house to go to the bus stop as usual and was abducted outside of the house...and her inhaler was found in the house...that means she left it there, right?

It seems to me like that would/could have been one of the "usual" items found in her purse?  If she didn't keep it in her purse, but always had it with her; how common was it for her to forget to get it before she left?  Considering the distance Marlene traveled to work, it doesn't seem like it would have been convenient to have to go home and take it to her. 

I do know that some schools won't allow the students to carry an inhaler, so did she have one at the nurse's office of her school to use if she needed it during school hours?  If that's the case, what would she do if she needed it during the walk to or from the bus stop?

Still makes me wonder IF something happened BEFORE she ever left the house...

Sorry if this post seems rambling, but this is something that I've thought about a lot too since I heard the comment from Rick and Marlene about her having asthma and being without her inhaler(s).

Detectives Focus On Abduction As Search For Sierra LaMar Widens

March 27, 2012 4:00 PM

Sierra LaMar (Santa Clara Co. Sheriff’s Dept.)

Reporting Matt Bigler


MORGAN HILL (KCBS) – Detectives investigating the disappearance of 15-year-old Sierra LaMar now believe the Morgan Hill teenager was likely abducted, the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office announced Tuesday afternoon.

After interviewing those who know her best, investigators believe it is highly unlikely that Sierra, who went missing a week and a half ago, ran away from home, sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Jose Cardoza said.

The sheriff’s office is asking local residents to report any suspicious behavior they observe in co-workers, neighbors or other community members.

Such activity could include changing one’s appearance, cleaning a vehicle in an extreme way, missing days of work, or showing an unusual interest in or avoidance of news reports on the case, Cardoza said.


Tuesday morning, hundreds of volunteers from throughout the Bay Area showed up at Burnett Elementary School in Morgan Hill to participate in an organized search for Sierra.

 ::snipping2::

By 9 a.m., more than 200 people had registered to help look for Sierra and provide administrative support for the effort, KlaasKids founder Mark Klaas said.

Sorry if this post seems rambling, but this is something that I've thought about a lot too since I heard the comment from Rick and Marlene about her having asthma and being without her inhaler(s).

tm: You were not rambling at all. Typically if a student needs to carry a script, in this case an inhaler, it just takes a doctors note. I don't know how bad her asthma is but I'm sure that if she has experienced an "episode", she knows to take it with her ALL of the time.

ITA with you that it is a big possibility that something happened to her prior to going to the bus stop. The SAR dogs lost their scent at the end of the driveway.

I know Janet has been questioning the parents, specifically the mothers BF, whether he or she had anything to do with this. She may have a point.

I don't feel the mom had anything to do with Sierra's disappearance, but the BF, I'm not sure. The fact that he was "liking" that dating site is questionable. Someone stated that maybe he met Siera's mom there. I don't think so. They were in the same High School class and graduated together. So they already knew each other. Something just doesn't add up IMO.

Detectives Focus On Abduction As Search For Sierra LaMar Widens

March 27, 2012 4:00 PM

Sierra LaMar (Santa Clara Co. Sheriff’s Dept.)

Reporting Matt Bigler


MORGAN HILL (KCBS) – Detectives investigating the disappearance of 15-year-old Sierra LaMar now believe the Morgan Hill teenager was likely abducted, the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office announced Tuesday afternoon.

After interviewing those who know her best, investigators believe it is highly unlikely that Sierra, who went missing a week and a half ago, ran away from home, sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Jose Cardoza said.

The sheriff’s office is asking local residents to report any suspicious behavior they observe in co-workers, neighbors or other community members.

Such activity could include changing one’s appearance, cleaning a vehicle in an extreme way, missing days of work, or showing an unusual interest in or avoidance of news reports on the case, Cardoza said.


Tuesday morning, hundreds of volunteers from throughout the Bay Area showed up at Burnett Elementary School in Morgan Hill to participate in an organized search for Sierra.

By 9 a.m., more than 200 people had registered to help look for Sierra and provide administrative support for the effort, KlaasKids founder Mark Klaas said.

From the video:

Mark Klaas said never in the 19 years he's been doing this has he ever seen a turnout during the week like the one today to search for Sierra, he said it was phenomenal! 

583 have registered so far to search!

God bless all who are searching!   ::MonkeyAngel::

You know the one thing that has been bothering me in this case? The fact that she didn't have her inhaler with her. I have asthma and would never leave the house without it and per her mothers statement, she always had it with her. It just doesn't make sense.  ::MonkeyNoNo::

I agree sassifrass.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

I only need an inhaler occasionally, once or twice a year (if that) but I always have one with me, and keep an extra in my bedroom in case I should wake up and need it during the night.  If you've ever been to the point of NEEDING an inhaler, you don't want to take a chance of being without it.  Especially this time of the year.

But, if Sierra left the house to go to the bus stop as usual and was abducted outside of the house...and her inhaler was found in the house...that means she left it there, right?

It seems to me like that would/could have been one of the "usual" items found in her purse?  If she didn't keep it in her purse, but always had it with her; how common was it for her to forget to get it before she left?  Considering the distance Marlene traveled to work, it doesn't seem like it would have been convenient to have to go home and take it to her. 

I do know that some schools won't allow the students to carry an inhaler, so did she have one at the nurse's office of her school to use if she needed it during school hours?  If that's the case, what would she do if she needed it during the walk to or from the bus stop?

Still makes me wonder IF something happened BEFORE she ever left the house...

Sorry if this post seems rambling, but this is something that I've thought about a lot too since I heard the comment from Rick and Marlene about her having asthma and being without her inhaler(s).

tm: You were not rambling at all. Typically if a student needs to carry a script, in this case an inhaler, it just takes a doctors note. I don't know how bad her asthma is but I'm sure that if she has experienced an "episode", she knows to take it with her ALL of the time.

ITA with you that it is a big possibility that something happened to her prior to going to the bus stop. The SAR dogs lost their scent at the end of the driveway.

I know Janet has been questioning the parents, specifically the mothers BF, whether he or she had anything to do with this. She may have a point.

I don't feel the mom had anything to do with Sierra's disappearance, but the BF, I'm not sure. The fact that he was "liking" that dating site is questionable. Someone stated that maybe he met Siera's mom there. I don't think so. They were in the same High School class and graduated together. So they already knew each other. Something just doesn't add up IMO.

Sassifras,
I've had questions about Rick since I found out about him (big red flag for me), even though the police say he is not as suspect; I still have questions.  I may not repeatedly post about them, but they are still there as they were when I posted them.

(At the time I posted this, I thought the other "Rick" that is a FB friend of Marlene's might be the boyfriend, found out later that HE IS NOT.  The comment about the same High School's was in reference to Marlene and the other FB friend, Rick)

I sincerely apologize if I caused confusion over the High School's that Marlene and her BF Rick attended.   

According to their facebook accounts Marlene and her BF Rick Gardiner DID NOT attend the same High Schools.

Ok, I don't know who said they both graduated the same year at the same school, but I guess I got confused.  ::MonkeyConfused::

There is still something about this guy that I don't feel right about, just as you tm. Why isn't Marlena saying anything about him. I know LE has supposedly "cleared" him, but if it's not him, who?

I can't get over that she left without her inhaler. Also, reading through her tweets, she is a BIG make-up and clothes fan. No make-up in the bag? Although it's possible that LE just didn't mention it also.

What happened to this girl? She seems pretty spunky, enough to fight someone off but if she had an asthma attack, well that would leave her helpless.

One other thing..... she mentioned in her tweets quite a few times that she hated walking, although she would go for runs. She would call people to get her rides to places. Quite ironic; she loves to run but dislikes having to walk to her destinations.

Deputies treat case of missing teen as kidnapping

Vivian Ho

Tuesday, March 27, 2012

(03-27) 17:16 PDT Morgan Hill -- Detectives searching for a 15-year-old girl who went missing 12 days ago near her South Bay home have ruled out the possibility that she left home voluntarily and are treating the case as a likely kidnapping, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff's office.

Hundreds of volunteers embarked on the first of many searches on Tuesday for clues into the disappearance of Sierra LaMar, and detectives urged residents to report any suspicious activity that took place around or after March 16, the day she was last seen.

"We feel the keys to the resolution in this case are in our community," the sheriff's office said in a statement.

Investigators said they ruled out the possibility that Sierra left on her own after interviews with her friends and family revealed that she had no history of running away and no family issues.

 ::snipping2::

Although such developments are ominous in a case that has turned up little to no leads as to her whereabouts, the community should stay positive and keep looking, said Marc Klaas, who heads the KlaasKids Foundation and organized the volunteer search effort.

He said police had less evidence at this point in the investigation for his missing 12-year-old daughter Polly, who was kidnapped and killed by career criminal Richard Allen Davis in 1993, and that there's still a chance of bringing Sierra home.

"It's moving forward," he said. "It's just a matter of law enforcement continuing their investigation, and we're trying to relieve some of that responsibility."

Almost 600 people volunteered to help in the search efforts Tuesday, including Michael Le, whose sister Michelle went missing in May. Her body was found by volunteer search teams in September.

The search will continue from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. for the rest of the week, beginning at Burnett Elementary School in Morgan Hill with experts training volunteers in what to look for and how to avoid tainting evidence if they do find something.

Klaas said he fully supports the sheriff's statement about the keys to the case being within the community. He said Sierra's home was in a secluded area of Santa Clara County, where suspicious or out-of-the-ordinary activity would be highly noticeable.

"People just need to continue to keep hope alive," Klaas said.

The Search Effort

In the process of elimination ... in the pursuit of truth ... were the adults in Sierra's life requested to take a polygraph?  Were vehicles seized and forensically tested?  Were cell phone and computer records analyzed?  Were related residences/properties forensically searched?  Were construction sites with a connection to BF searched?  Were alibis confirmed?  If not; why not?
 
Not only does Justice for Sierra demands that all avenues of investigation are pursued ... the safety of searchers must be considered.  If there is a possibility that a deceased Sierra was placed in a vehicle and taken from her home sometime during the day of March 16th .... the search effort is for naught.

Sheriff: Missing Teen Likely Abducted by Suspect with Morgan Hill Connections

Detectives say Sierra LaMar was likely abducted by someone familiar with the Morgan Hill area or community, new evidence could be uncovered from Sierra's clothing.

By Corinne Speckert Email the author 5:40 pm

Sheriff’s Investigators now believe it’s highly unlikely that Sierra LaMar ran away from home and will begin concentrating their investigative efforts on the possibility that the missing Morgan Hill teen was involuntary taken from her residence, Sgt. Jose Cardoza of the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday afternoon.

“That covers [ideas that] she was possibly abducted, possibly kidnapped, or she could of went to meet someone voluntarily and during the course was taken at that time,” he said.

The changing treatment of the LaMar case is based on several factors, like interviews with Sierra’s relatives and friends, evidence located, the LaMar family’s background, as well as Sierra’s background—she doesn’t have any negative family issues or runaway history.

“Investigators have enough background info about her and are like, "'It’s not adding up, she wouldn’t run away,’” Cardoza said. “She actually made plans for that weekend and then she disappeared, so there’s no indication that she was going to run away.”

Police are urging South County residents to focus their efforts on Morgan Hill, reasoning that a possible suspect would likely have been familiar with the area and community, even if they currently don’t reside there. 

“The investigators’ logic is that whether or not she’s still in the Morgan Hill or Fremont area, it’s obvious she disappeared from home, so at this point the involuntary aspect that they’re now starting to explore originates in Morgan Hill,” Cardoza said.

Community members are being asked to report suspicious activity observed from neighbors, co-workers and others. People to keep an eye out for include those who have recently changed their appearance, taken interest in the case or who have purposely avoided the case. People calling in sick or who have recently cleaned their vehicle in an excessive manner are also of interest.

Although there’s no new evidence or new significant information, Cardoza said additional evidence could be uncovered from the clothing in Sierra’s Juicy bag that was located on Sunday. Authorities announced Wednesday that a pair of pants and a shirt were found neatly folded in the teen’s bag.

“We had to confirm through Sierra’s family that it was in fact her clothes. We had to do some additional forensic testing. Some investigative steps have to take place before we could make that information public, he said.

The Juicy bag and clothing were sent to the county’s crime lab for further forensic testing, which will include examinations for DNA, visible prints and any additional traces of evidence that may have come across Sierra’s clothing, like hair fibers. Crime lab results aren’t expected to be released for a while because of the number of items sent to the lab and the time it takes to properly examine them.


Detectives haven’t been able to confirm whether the clothes found in Sierra’s bag on March 18 are the same items worn the day she went missing. However, Cardoza said a Twitter photo tweeted the day of Sierra’s disappearance depicts the teen wearing a black shirt that appears similar to the one located in her bag.

“The shirt resembles the shirt she tweeted the Friday she went missing at 6:29 a.m., but we can’t confirm that’s the same shirt,” he said. “Even if she sent that picture we don’t know if it was from that time. It could have been a prior picture that she had on her phone for whatever reason.”

I have to give Steve LaMar credit for putting Sierra first.  He's at every interview facing the media knowing they know he is a RSO. 

I agree Klaas, can you just imagine!  But he hasn't let it stop him from doing everything he possibly can.  I watched a video where he was out with searchers on some hills looking for anything they could find.  He said he was desperate for answers.

A child sex offender is a master deceiver/manipulator.  When I consider Steve Lamar's young victim/s ... when I consider the baggage that each child must carry for a lifetime as a result of stolen innocence ... I want to throw up every time I see his face.

I guess I did not realize that Sierra had been living with dad until October...wonder why ..
Mom must have had a lot of trust in dad to allow that ..not sure that I would be that trusting.
Like klaas said, I do give him credit for braving the scrutiny while looking for Sierra
Not sure that I would have let her live with him though or not have had supervised visits with her..but that is just my opinion....

Sierra LaMar Search Moves to Waterways

Several hundred fewer people showed up to volunteer Wednesday.

By Bob Redell and Lori Preuitt |  Wednesday, Mar 28, 2012  |  Updated 11:32 AM PDT

Searchers spent a wet and rainy day in Santa Clara County looking for missing teenager Sierra LaMar.

The search for Sierra LaMar will include local waterways.

The Santa Clara County Sheriffs office says it will send dive teams to Uvas Reservoir, Parkway Lake in Santa Clara County and Olgier perk pounds in Monterey County on Wednesday. Investigators said they will only send a diver into the water if a trained dog that specializes in water borne detection gets a hit for possible human remains.

The dogs and their handlers will be on boats with divers at the ready.

Also Wednesday, the volunteer search effort enters its second day. Organizers at Burnett Elementary tell NBC Bay Area that they really need more people.

Tuesday's overwhelming turnout of 563 people dwindled to about 100 volunteers Wednesday. It appears many people are staying home because of the rain.

Police call Sierra LaMar's case 'probable abduction'

Wednesday, March 28, 2012

By Lisa Amin Gulezian and Karina Rusk
MORGAN HILL, Calif. (KGO) -- The search for a missing teenager is intensifying in the South Bay. Sierra LaMar disappeared 11 days ago and now investigators have a new theory on what happened to her.

The entire time, investigators have called this a missing persons case, since they weren't sure if Sierra LaMar simply ran away. Now detectives think she may have voluntarily left with someone and that someone is stopping her from coming home.

"More time means you wonder what's happening with her, where she is, and does someone have her?" said Steve LaMar, Sierra's father.

Sierra's parents are trying to keep their minds from wandering to a dark place, especially now that investigators have re-classified the 15-year-old's case. Now they say, there's a chance, someone is holding her against her will.

 ::snipping2::

The FBI continues to focus on the area surrounding Sierra's home. And sources say family members have completed several interviews and passed polygraph tests.

 ::snipping2::

The sheriff's office released a statement saying they believe the person responsible for Sierra's disappearance may not live in Morgan Hill, but they believe that person is familiar and comfortable with the area.

The search center will reopen at 8 a.m. and volunteers will work out of here until Sunday. Tuesday night, the family set up a Sierra LaMar donation fund at all Chase Bank locations.

A Possible Scenario?

What "proof" is there that Sierra Lamar did not meet her demised prior to the morning of March 16th?
 
Have investigators considered the possibility that there was a collaborated fabricated script/ electronic staging/ planting by those close to Sierra ... a collaborated fabricated script/ electron staging/ planting that would imply that Sierra was alive on the morning of March 16th and that an abduction may have happened?
 
Other than the claims of the family ... when was the last sighting of Sierra and/or PROVEN communication?
 
Could it be that a deceased Sierra taken from her home sometime prior to the morning of March 16th and ... could it be that family members ensured that each had an alibi in the timeframe between the mother's departure from the home and the missed bus?

AN ELECTRONIC STAGING?  A PLANTING?

Who put that San Jose Sharks shirt in the Juicy bag ... the San Jose Sharks shirt that Sierra was wearing in the computer image that SOMEONE tweeted from her account at 6:29 AM on the morning of March 16?
 
Could the packing and planting of the San Jose Sharks shirt have been an oversight of whoever placed those neatly folded clothes in that Juicy bag ... whoever twittered an undated image attempting to give the impression that Sierra was alive on the morning of March 26 ... whoever tossed Sierra's cell ... whoever was attempting to further an abduction fabrication?  Could the San Jose Sharks shirt be the smoking gun?
 
Could it be that someone was attempting to give the impression that Sierra was alive on the morning of March 16th when the 7:11 AM text was sent to a friend ... a friend who did not receive a reply from Sierra following her/his response?

Detectives haven’t been able to confirm whether the clothes found in Sierra’s bag on March 18 are the same items worn the day she went missing. However, Cardoza said a Twitter photo tweeted the day of Sierra’s disappearance depicts the teen wearing a black shirt that appears similar to the one located in her bag.

“The shirt resembles the shirt she tweeted the Friday she went missing at 6:29 a.m., but we can’t confirm that’s the same shirt,” he said. “Even if she sent that picture we don’t know if it was from that time. It could have been a prior picture that she had on her phone for whatever reason.”

The airing Monday, her father, Steve LaMar, told NBC’s Kristen Dahlgren: “I’m desperate right now. I’m desperate for any, any clue.”

So far, the only pieces of evidence found have been Sierra’s cell phone and her Juicy purse, found alongside the road just miles from her home with her clothes folded neatly inside. Authorities believe they are the same clothes Sierra was wearing in a picture she took the morning she disappeared.

LAMAR: It was just a routine day. She was going to -- you know, she was, you know, getting ready for school. But the previous evening, on Thursday evening, she was excited about doing an English paper for her classroom and doing the research on it.

"She was talking about how she wanted to get her hair done the next time she went to Fremont. She wanted to add some blond streaks," Danielle LaMar said. "She was very excited about one of her school assignments, telling me about her research paper. Bringing up her grades made her happy."

Could it be that Sierra Lamar may not be a runaway ... may not have been abducted but ... as a result of something unfortunate that happened within the home sometime prior to the morning of March 16th ... this young lady met her demised and ... was place in a vehicle and taken from the home?  In the process of elimination ... in the pursuit of truth ... has family vehicles been seized and forensically checked?  Has family members submitted and passed polygraphs?
 
Contrary to Sgt. Jose Cardoza's claim ... Sierra Lamar's own words imply there were "issues" within the dynamics of her family.  This young lady may have had plans for the weekend but ... she was not happy about those plans.

Although they have no new evidence or leads, investigators believe after interviewing nearly 100 of Sierra's relatives and friends that "there's nothing indicating she would have run away from the house. She had no issues at home and never mentioned she was going to run away," Sgt. Jose Cardoza of the Sheriff's Office said Tuesday. "She's possibly out there as an 'involuntary taking.' "

Investigators scour north Morgan Hill for Sierra LaMar leads

LaMar never made it to onto the school bus the morning of Friday, March 16. She lives with her mother and mother’s boyfriend a few hundred yards away, and typically starts walking to the bus stop between 7:10 and 7:15 a.m., according to her parents and authorities.

LaMar was at home at 6 a.m., when her mother and mother’s boyfriend left the home, and her Twitter account shows her last “tweet” was posted at 6:29 a.m. from the home. Police have also noted that LaMar sent a text message from her cell phone, while she was at home, at 7:11 a.m. the day she was reported missing.

Update: Family Undergoes FBI Polygraph Test in Sierra Lamar Case

By: Tony Cassara - Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:58:48 -0800

MORGAN HILL (KRON) -- There are new developments in the search for missing Morgan Hill teen Sierra Lamar. KRON4 has learned that Lamar’s family has undergone polygraph tests conducted by the FBI. The results of those polygraph tests are not being released. However, the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s department does confirm to KRON4’s Rob Fladeboe that there are more polygraphs tests pending.

Sierra LaMar's disappearance raises questions about how schools notify parents when students don't show up for class

Julia Prodis Sulek

Posted:   03/28/2012 04:38:12 PM PDT
Updated:   03/28/2012 06:13:48 PM PDT

The day Sierra LaMar failed to get on the school bus at 7:15 a.m., teachers logged her into their computers as absent, hour by hour, throughout the day.

But not until 6 p.m. -- nearly 11 hours later -- did Sobrato High School in Morgan Hill send an automated email and phone call to the mother of the teen who vanished almost two weeks ago. The time lag cost critical search hours and frustrated Marlene LaMar, who drove to the high school that March 16 afternoon hoping her 15-year-old daughter missed the bus home. After more frantic calls to friends and family, she called police 27 minutes after receiving the 6 p.m. email that her daughter never showed up for school.

"They had no idea of the situation before they got that email," Sierra's older sister, Danielle LaMar, 21, said of her parents. "Especially in this case, time definitely matters."

 ::snipping2::

In an informal survey of a nine school districts around the Bay Area, from Oakland and Concord to San Jose and Morgan Hill, most wait to notify parents of a child's absence until the end of the day, especially at high schools.

"There's nothing illustrating the flaw in that system more than Sierra's disappearance," said Marc Klaas, whose daughter, Polly, was kidnapped in 1994 from their home in Petaluma and killed. His KlaasKids Foundation is organizing volunteer searchers for Sierra through Sunday.

"Maybe they need to re-evaluate that."

 ::snipping2::

No one knows at this point whether an earlier alert would have made a difference in finding Sierra. But kidnap experts point to one sobering fact: most kidnappers with murderous intentions kill their victims within three hours. On Wednesday, nearly two weeks after Sierra disappeared, investigators began searching waterways in the Morgan Hill area, and about 100 volunteers -- 500 fewer than Tuesday -- fanned out across the Coyote Valley searching for clues.

Umm.... I thought they already had a poly exam tm? Is the FBI poly different?

Just me thinking here...but I would think the FBI would be performing all of the polygraphs.

No way of knowing until more information comes out, but that's my thinking.

This report said results were not being released.  "Sources" have said they passed in other reports, so who knows?

I think polygraphs are often used as just one more investigative tool, and I am glad that they're being used in this case.

This is a good link someone posted at JQ.  I don't think you can do a overhead view of the property or go onto the area where Sierra's house is, but you can look all around the area by going down the streets.

If you drag the little guy into the street outlined in blue, and drag him along you can stop and look at everything on the way to the bus stop.

I think it's a current view, can't make them out completely...but I think you can see the missing posters at the intersection where Sierra usually waited for the bus.

Was Sierra LaMar abducted? Police fear missing girl, 15, 'being held against her will' as fresh clues unravel theory she ran away from home
By Daily Mail Reporter
PUBLISHED: 22:19 EST, 28 March 2012 | UPDATED: 22:19 EST, 28 March 2012

 ::snipping2::
After initially allowing for the possibility that Sierra ran away from the home she shared with her mother and her mother's boyfriend, the 40 detectives assigned to the case are saying they now believe it is highly unlikely that she vanished voluntarily.

Their conclusion was based on Sierra not having a history as a runaway or any unusually negative family problems. Interviews with friends and a search of her computer also yielded no information indicating she fled.
 ::snipping2::
Just before 6:30am, when Sierra ordinarily got ready for school, the teenager tweeted. A friend received a routine text message from her about 40 minutes later, the time she usually left home to catch the bus, authorities said.

But investigators have not found anything to signal where to look now.

The MacBook she got for her birthday has not provided any hints about where she might be. The night before she disappeared, she tweeted that she planned to write a school essay about teen depression and suicide. That same week, she tweeted: 'suiiiiicide im tooo aliiiiive kill ya sellf.'

Sierra and her mother have been living in Morgan Hill since October. Tonya Miller, a family friend, said Sierra appeared to have adjusted to the move, briefly joining a private cheerleading club and befriending the daughter of her mother's boyfriend.

Considering Rick Gardiner and Marlene Lamar were allegedly the last persons to have seen Sierra on the morning of the day she was reported missing ... why has Gardiner yet to submit to a polygraph?  What reason would Sheriff Smith not immediately release polygraph results ... polygraph results that would clear Sierra's parents from the suspicion that abounds?

Sierra LaMar Search Moves to Waterways
updated 3/28/2012 11:16:31 PM ET


Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith told NBC Bay Area's Marianne Favro that Sierra's abduction was not a planned event. "We believe this was a situational crime," Smith said, meaning it was a crime of opportunity by a stranger. Smith also said she thinks the person who took Sierra knows the south county area very well and has strong ties there.

<snipped>

Simth also said that polygraph tests have been done on both Sierra's mother and father as well as other family members. She would not comment on the results, but investigators have said all along that Sierra has a good relationship with her parents,

A Possible Scenario?

What "proof" is there that Sierra Lamar did not meet her demised prior to the morning of March 16th?
 
Have investigators considered the possibility that there was a collaborated fabricated script/ electronic staging/ planting by those close to Sierra ... a collaborated fabricated script/ electron staging/ planting that would imply that Sierra was alive on the morning of March 16th and that an abduction may have happened?
 
Other than the claims of the family ... when was the last sighting of Sierra and/or PROVEN communication?
 
Could it be that a deceased Sierra taken from her home sometime prior to the morning of March 16th and ... could it be that family members ensured that each had an alibi in the timeframe between the mother's departure from the home and the missed bus?




She tweated a girlfriend at 7:11....

It was actually a guy I thought? I saw his tweet about it Ill go look for it. Reading into the language of the Investigator and Sierras mother I believe she knew the person willingly went with them as a niave 15 yr old not realizing the person would harm her. I believe the person has to be older of course to drive but maybe someone she knew extended family member or could be a gang member? I hope she is alive and they do find her. I hope parents monitor their kids more closely. Sierra had some tweets about sex and drugs, it IMO luers bad people in. Im not saying thats where the perp knew her from but could be. It sure would have been easy to locate her with her friends talking about school area ect.

Update: Family Undergoes FBI Polygraph Test in Sierra Lamar Case

By: Tony Cassara - Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:58:48 -0800

MORGAN HILL (KRON) -- There are new developments in the search for missing Morgan Hill teen Sierra Lamar. KRON4 has learned that Lamar’s family has undergone polygraph tests conducted by the FBI. The results of those polygraph tests are not being released. However, the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s department does confirm to KRON4’s Rob Fladeboe that there are more polygraphs tests pending. Police have said her mother, her mother's boyfriend and her father are not suspects.

Late Wednesday afternoon Sierra Lamar’s mother made a desperate plea asking for her daughters return. Marlene Lamar standing at a podium at the search headquarters said “I would like to put out a personal plea to whoever is holding my daughter against her will, we understand there may have been events that led you to the situation.” Lamar went on to say “we just want her safe return, we are not focusing on getting you in trouble, we just want to end this nightmare.”
 ::snipping2::



Umm.... I thought they already had a poly exam tm? Is the FBI poly different?

I am not the very lovely and talented TexasMom, but I was reading through this thread and did not see an answer to your query.

Yes, a polygraph administered by the FBI is different than that used by State agencies,  although the technology can be the same depending upon the investigative need.

A subject agreeing to being interviewed by a federal agent would expose that individual to the possibility that being found deceptive could result in criminal charges.  It is a felony to lie to a Federal agent.

I mention this because within the LE community, the very fact that folks will submit to both holds great weight, provided they are found to be truthful and not deceptive of course.

Without knowing the results directly, it is impossible to say what the motivation behind the additional testing was for, but I will say that it is only standard to do so parallel to an existing open investigation that is being led by the State agency when the FBI is actively investigating, and not just assisting.

A girl from our town in Illinois was missing for over 3 weeks..no word to anyone in that time...she had taken off from Rockford Illinois and was found in California...I believe that she was rebelling against beliefs of her parents who were from  another country...not positive but that is what the shutterbug as about...perhaps an arranged marriage or something like that.


Anyways, not saying Sierra took off on her own, but there IS hope that she did and is still alive...

Thanks very much Blink! So it's possible that the original poly showed deception and if the FBI poly showed deception, the criminal charges against said person would be escalated to a Federal crime because they lied to a Federal Agent? *phew* I did that in one breath.  ::MonkeyHaHa::

Am I understanding that correctly?

Also, what is the FBI's role in potential kidnappings? Is there something that happens withing a case that escalates the investigation to the FBI as a participating agency? Is it because of their resources?

Why would a mother not move heaven and earth to prevent her precious daughter from living with RCSO ... father or otherwise?  If Sierra Lamar's mother donned blinders in regards to the risks presented by ex-husband ... did she don blinders in regards to Sierra's well being within her own home?

When it has been revealed that prior to ruling Rick Gardiner out as a person of interest ... he was submitted to and passed a polygraph ...  his vehicle was seized and was forensically tested negative and ... construction sites with a connection were grid searched ... I will have my suspicions regarding this guy who rised in the same home as Marlene Lamar's beautiful daughter.  Alibis do not cut it.  NOBODY observed Sierra leave the home.

With no leads yet, investigators continue searching for missing teen
Posted: Wednesday, March 21, 2012 5:08 pm | Updated: 12:34 pm, Thu Mar 22, 2012.

LaMar’s mother Marlene and her boyfriend Rick Gardiner, as well as the teen’s father Steve LaMar have all been ruled out as suspects, according to Smith.

“The entire family has fully cooperated with our agency,” Smith said. “All of the family (mother, father, Gardiner) have alibis and can be accounted for at the time Sierra went missing.”

A subject agreeing to being interviewed by a federal agent would expose that individual to the possibility that being found deceptive could result in criminal charges.  It is a felony to lie to a Federal agent.

I mention this because within the LE community, the very fact that folks will submit to both holds great weight, provided they are found to be truthful and not deceptive of course.

Without knowing the results directly, it is impossible to say what the motivation behind the additional testing was for, but I will say that it is only standard to do so parallel to an existing open investigation that is being led by the State agency when the FBI is actively investigating, and not just assisting.

Interesting information, thanks Blink!   ::MonkeyKiss::

Sierra Lamar may have not made it past her driveway, search crews say
UPDATED 3:01 PM PDT Mar 29, 2012


<snipped>

Tracking dogs lost Sierra's scent at the end of the driveway of her home on a cul-de-sac, leading investigators to hypothesize she never got much further on March 16 when she vanished.

Sheriff's Sgt. Jose Cardoza said Sierra was likely abducted by someone who knew Morgan Hill very well.

I agree it was someone Sierra knows. It's tough to look at the followers since it is up to over 2,700 since she has been missing.

Whoever did this is going to make a mistake and get caught. There is no such thing as the perfect crime IMO. I just hope Sierra will be found alive.

Sierra LaMar Update: Authorities Say Missing California Teen Most Likely Abducted
Posted: 03/29/2012 4:31 pm Updated: 03/29/2012 6:06 pm

Authorities in California are now saying missing teenager Sierra LaMar may have been abducted.

"The investigation process is leading more towards an involuntary missing person case. Under that umbrella is the theory that she is the victim of a kidnapping, abduction or voluntarily went missing and then at some point thereafter came into contact with someone and as a result is now being held against her will," Santa Clara Sheriff's Office Sgt. Jose Cardoza told The Huffington Post Thursday.

Cardoza said investigators base their suspicions on "hundreds of interviews that have been conducted, the very few items of evidence that we have in this case and the fact that no one saw her leave her house."

Volunteers discover surprising items during search for missing teen

KTVU.com

MORGAN HILL, Calif. — Santa Clara sheriff deputies confirmed Thursday evening that a volunteer searching for missing teenager Sierra LaMar found an empty box labeled handcuffs and two used condoms near a dead-end road in Morgan Hill.

The Klaas Kid Foundation volunteers have been marking items of interest in a 20-mile radius during their search for the missing 15-year-old. Deputies said they will collect the items and send them to a crime lab for testing.

The area, the far west end of Palm Avenue, where the evidence was found is known to deputies for reports of a lot of underage drinking  and young people partying, said Santa Clara County sheriffs spokesman Jose Cardoza

Investigators said they plan to take everything seriously that they find and will not assume they are not connected to the LaMar case. The items are just one of series of items being collected. 

Authorities and search teams have been around the area where the items were found before. Deputies have not said whether the items could have been planted there, but that will also be taken into consideration

 ::snipping2::

In addition to combing a 20-mile radius, volunteers also posted newfliers emphasizing that Sierra is in danger.

"Maybe there's someone that's behaving a little differently, you know. Obsessed with the story, or changing their appearance, cleaning their car exceptionally thoroughly," said Sierra's father Steve LaMar.

Optimism dimmed when investigators reported Thursday that its search of waterways didn't turn up any clues. But some hope returned when the Klaas Kids Foundation announced later that the Intero Real Estate collected $12,000 to fund continued search efforts for Sierra.
Klaas said Thursday's turnout and donation were overwhelming.

"Nothing like this has happened like this to us in any previous search," Klaas said. "This thing is crazy. I mean, the response is absolutely extraordinary on every level."

Klaas said big turnouts and the donation could help expand and lengthen the search for Sierra.

 ::snipping2::

Dennis said volunteers have found a number of objects that were being examined by investigators to determine whether they are linked to the case.

None of the objects found so far appear to be connected to Sierra's disappearance, according to Cardoza.

Sierra LaMar searchers find used condoms, handcuff box

By Mike Rosenberg and Lisa Fernandez

Posted:   03/29/2012 12:46:13 PM PDT
Updated:   03/29/2012 07:24:58 PM PDT

South Bay search teams looking for clues in the case of missing teenager Sierra LaMar have found two used condoms next to a box marked "handcuffs" about a mile from where the girl was likely abducted nearly two weeks ago.

Thursday afternoon's find would potentially be a major breakthrough in the case that has stymied police over the past two weeks -- or it could be a simple coincidence and another dead-end, investigators said. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office won't know until the crime lab tests the cardboard box and condoms for DNA and other clues.

"Other than the fact that it's pretty close to Sierra's mom house, there's no indication at this time that it's related," said Sgt. Jose Cardoza. "But we're collecting it as possible evidence."

He added: "This may be another significant piece of evidence but it's hard to confirm that it's related at this time."

The box, which is used to ship handcuffs, was empty, Cardoza said. It was unclear how long it had been there, what condition it was in or if there was any DNA evidence left behind.

A volunteer for the Klasskids Foundation, a missing person's group helping search for clues, found the box and condoms at the end of Palm Avenue, west of Santa Teresa Boulevard in Morgan Hill. It's about a mile down Palm from the intersection of Dougherty Avenue, where Sierra, 15, was supposed to catch a bus after 7 a.m. on March 16. She never made it and hasn't been heard from since. The bus stop is next to her home on Paquita Espana Court.
The box was also found within 1.5 miles of where her Samsung cell phone and Juicy-brand bag were recovered at separate spots on Santa Teresa the weekend after she disappeared.

Burned human remains found in Porterville

Burned human remains were found today in an abandoned shop building in Porterville, the Tulare County Sheriff’s Department said.

The sheriff’s department got a call about 8:25 a.m. about a fire inside the building in the 24500 block of Avenue 184 and are investigating the discovery as a suspicious death.

An autopsy must be done to find out the cause of death, along with the body's identity and gender.

Disturbing discovery in Sierra LaMar's discarded bag


A San Jose Sharks jersey similar to the one a missing Morgan Hill teen was wearing the morning she disappeared was among the items in a bag found discarded in field near her home, authorities confirmed on Friday.

A Juicy-brand bag belonging to the 15-year-old was found on the side of a roadway about 2 miles from her home, according to Santa Clara County sheriff's Sgt. Jose Cardoza.

The bag was located by the sheriff's office at about 1 p.m. Sunday near Laguna Avenue and Santa Teresa Boulevard, Cardoza said at a Thursday press conference.

http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Clue-Found-in-Sierra-Lamar-Disappearance-143815416.html


The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office confirmed that they found the purse and some clothing of missing Morgan Hill teenager Sierra LaMar.

The items were found Sunday at 1 p.m. near the intersection of Laguna and Santa Teresa in Morgan Hill. That is about two miles from the girl's home. They were off to the side of the road as if tossed from a vehicle. Her cell phone was found a day earlier, on Saturday, at the nearby intersection of Scheller and Santa Teresa. It was also off the roadway as if tossed. 

Forensic tests and the family confirmed that these items belong to the 15-year-old girl who has not been seen since leaving for class at Sobrato High School early Friday morning.

Sierra lived in Fremont and attended Washington High School until this year when she and her mother moved to Morgan Hill. Students and teachers at both schools have helped in the search and have posted hundreds of missing person signs around the Bay Area.

Because of this new information, Santa Clara County investigators are back in Morgan Hill Thursday to perform new, more extensive search of the area. The search radius is three miles and includes 50 searchers plus search dogs.

Considering Rick Gardiner and Marlene Lamar were allegedly the last persons to have seen Sierra on the morning of the day she was reported missing ... why has Gardiner yet to submit to a polygraph?
 
What could be the reason that the results of the family polygraphs are not being released ... results that have the ability to free the family from speculations that abound in the court of public opinion ....
 
1.  Could it be that the demise of Sierra Lamar occured prior to the morning of the day she was reported missing?

2.  Could it be that a cover up have followed ... a cover up that encompassed a script/electonic staging/a planting of "evidence"?

3.  Could it be that a deceased Sierra may have been placed in a vehicle and taken from her home?

When Detective Cardoza's words of March 27th are considered.  could it be that someone other than Sierra Lamar tweeted a photo of a photo at 6:29 AM on the morning of March 16th attempting to give the impression that this beautiful young lady who had already met her demise was alive and well?

Sheriff: Missing Teen Likely Abducted by Suspect with Morgan Hill Connections
March 27, 2012

 
<snipped>

Detectives haven’t been able to confirm whether the clothes found in Sierra’s bag on March 18 are the same items worn the day she went missing. However, Cardoza said a Twitter photo tweeted the day of Sierra’s disappearance depicts the teen wearing a black shirt that appears similar to the one located in her bag.

“The shirt resembles the shirt she tweeted the Friday she went missing at 6:29 a.m., but we can’t confirm that’s the same shirt,” he said. “Even if she sent that picture we don’t know if it was from that time. It could have been a prior picture that she had on her phone for whatever reason.”

Search for missing teen to concentrate on creek trail, off-road areas

Story posted 2012.03.30 at 08:11 PM PDT

Investigators will take the search for missing teen Sierra LaMar off road Saturday, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office officials said.

The sheriff's off-road unit, mounted on ATVs, will search the South Coyote Creek Trail and the Cochrane Road to Bernal Road area Saturday, officials said.

The continuing search for LaMar, 15, follows the discovery Thursday of suspicious items near her home, including an empty box labeled "stainless steel handcuffs" and a couple of used condoms.

It is not clear whether the items, discovered by volunteer searchers with the KlaasKids Foundation at the end of Palm Avenue west of Santa Teresa Boulevard in Morgan Hill, are connected to the case, Santa Clara County sheriff's Sgt. Jose Cardoza said.

The items, found in an area where young people often congregate, are being analyzed.

 ::snipping2::
Sheriff's dive teams with specially trained rescue K-9s took to the area's waterways to search for human remains and hundreds of volunteers have been participating in search efforts organized by The KlaasKids Foundation.

Founded by Mark Klaas, whose 12-year-old daughter Polly Klaas was kidnapped from her Petaluma home in 1993, the organization is managing the volunteers and deploying its own search-and-rescue resources to help find Sierra. About 700 people volunteered Friday alone, and the search radius has been extended more than 15 miles from LaMar's home, KlaasKids officials said.

On Saturday, state Assemblyman Luis Alejo, D-Salinas, will join volunteers conducting the ground search.

Detectives continue to investigate more than 720 tips related to the case sent to the sheriff's office via phone or email, Cardoza said.

 ::snipping2::

Those interested in volunteering in the search-and-rescue efforts are asked to register at Burnett Elementary School, located 85 Tilton Ave., between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. through Sunday. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old and bring a photo ID.

On Saturday, however, a Teen Brigade will be organized starting at 8 a.m. A youth walk will also take place at 11:30 a.m. at the Community Center at Dunn and Monterey streets.

Have we heard any more about this? Is it related to the Sierra case? 2 condoms probably means 2 people.

Alex Smith Assisting Search Team Looking For Missing Teenager Sierra LaMar
by Scott Coleman • Mar 31, 2012 10:45 AM PDT

Alex Smith, a multi-millionaire and celebrity in the Bay Area, has never met Sierra LaMar. Before this week, it's almost guaranteed that the 49ers quarterback had never even heard of her name. A person's true colors show in a time of adversity, and Smith is showing everyone just how good of a guy he is this weekend.

 ::snipping2::

On Saturday, Smith took some time out of his busy schedule and helped join the search team.

Search for Sierra goes on; Police examine evidence
Friday, March 30, 2012

by Terry McSweeney, Karina Rusk, and Tomas Roman

MORGAN HILL, Calif. (KGO) -- Sierra LaMar, 15, disappeared two weeks ago Friday, on her way to school in Morgan Hill and search teams are not giving up. Professionals and hundreds of volunteers continue to look for her. One operation wrapped up Friday and another will gear up for the weekend.

Police are examining what they hope will be a valuable find in the search. On Thursday, one of the volunteers found a box that said "Stainless Steel Handcuffs" on the side and contained used condoms. The items were found less than two miles from where the Sierra disappeared two weeks ago. The sheriff's office called the items "suspicious" and will test them. Whether they have anything to do with her disappearance or not remains to be seen and won't be known for at least a few weeks.

Either way, both volunteer search teams and Sierra's family were very aware of the potential evidence Friday. "If it turns out to help us find her, that would be great, but I'm cautious," Sierra's father Steve LaMar said. So too are the professionals. "That tems could've easily been placed out there after Sierra disappeared, has no bearing on Sierra, really, time will tell," search operations director Brad Dennis said.

Santa Clara County investigators know the importance of the find, if any, would not be coming in immediately, the way it might in a movie or TV show. "It's not something where you have a 24-hr turnaround period on that," explained Sgt. Jose Cardoza. "It's, sometimes, a couple weeks process to get any results back."

Sierras aunt and uncle from Maine were there Friday. "At times like this, the family has to come together for support," said her uncle Terry LaMar. Sierra's adopted family is now in the thousands, with hundreds of volunteers showing up every day to help in the search for evidence. "That's the mission and that's what we are out here for, to find whatever clues we can to bring her home," volunteer Andrea Bottazzo said.


The search center has become a well-oiled machine with donations coming in by the truckload gearing up for a massive weekend turnout. "I have not come across anybody who isn't willing to do something. The community has been wonderful," donation coordinator Karah Silacci said.

The biggest gift has been people's time and the generosity is, at times, overwhelming.

Founder of KlaasKids Foundation Marc Klaas, which is coordinating the volunteer search and the man whose daughter Polly was kidnapped and killed in Petaluma in 1993, is amazed for the turnout for Sierra. "Since Polly disappeared 19 years ago, I've not seen people turn out in these large numbers. I think it's absolutely amazing. They're setting a new standard and I hope communities all over the United States are watching this," he said.

For Sierra's family, the community's support could literally be felt across the country. "I'm telling them who I am because I want them to know that the family just appreciates them so much," said Sierra's aunt Barbara Moran.

here is a street view of the area    http://g.co/maps/6dgz7


 ::snipping2::
The box did not have handcuffs inside, but they did find at least two used condoms a few feet away.
 
The items were found about a mile from the LaMar home, in an area that is known to deputies as a place where young people often congregate, Santa Clara Sheriff spokesman Jose Cardoza told Bay City News.
 
"It does bother us. It's very close to home," Gary Bettcher, who lives right down the road where the items were found.
 
"At times you see cars parked down there at night, especially now that open space has it, they frequent the road quite a bit," Bettcher added.
 Marc Klaas said after reviewing the evidence, he believes Sierra was likely abducted on the street where she lives.
 
"Whatever happened to Sierra happened on that block," he told Bay City News

Huge volunteer turnout for search for Sierra

MORGAN HILL, Calif. (KGO) -- Despite the rain, hundreds of volunteers turned out Saturday to search for Sierra LaMar.

Nothing new was discovered during Saturday's search, which centered in a remote area of San Jose northwest of Morgan Hill.

Search organizer Brian Miller said volunteer turnout was strong despite the weather.

"Today was a rainy day but we were still very happy with today. We had almost 500 new first-time searchers today and we had almost 600 total searchers today."

To have so many people show up on a rainy mornings is a good sign, Miller said.

"I think that puts us in a good position moving forward," he said.

Santa Clara County Sheriff's deputies used off-road vehicles Saturday to comb areas in the West Hills, including the South Coyote Creek Trail.

Search efforts have been expanding around the area where Sierra disappeared on her way to school on March 16.

My Worst Fear…

01
APR
2012

Is actually happening to someone else, just over the hill. She’s the mother of a beautiful teenage girl, just like me- I don’t know her or her daughter, but I know she is beautiful because I see her face every time I turn on the news. Her daughter, Sierra LaMar, is missing. She’s been missing for fourteen days now…FOURTEEN DAYS. Do you know how long that is for a mother, when your child is missing? Every time I start to imagine it, my mind pulls away in fear, and I can’t. I just can’t imagine it.

Marchers Gather to Increase Awareness of Sierra LaMar, Send Message to Abductors

About 100 marchers took to the pavement to make sure the missing teen's face remains in the public eye, and to tell would-be abductors that they will not live in fear.

By Michelle Fitzsimmons Email the author March 31, 2012

About 100 marchers braved the rain in Morgan Hill today, spurned on by one objective—to get the face of Sierra LaMar out to the public.

Marchers gathered at the Community and Cultural Center before heading down Monterey Street and marching down Main Avenue. The march, dubbed the Sierra LaMar Community March, sought specifically to involve young people under the age of 18 who aren’t permitted to participate in searches for the missing teen.

“I have a passion for youth and it’s important for them to feel like they are contributing,” said Dori Prado, who organized Saturday’s march. “This is a way for the youth to get involved in the search effort and bring attention to the case.”

 ::snipping2::

Marchers were carrying signs with messages that read, “Sierra LaMar, We Love You!” and “Find Sierra” fliers depicting the Sobrato High cheerleader’s photo and description were passed out to attendees. Blown up poster-board-sized fliers were also given to local businesses to place in their windows.

Pink bows, Sierra’s favorite color, adorned trees along the road and marchers wore pink ribbons in tribute to the teen, who was last seen over two weeks ago.

Saturday also saw the largest volunteer search turnout yet, according to a KTVU.com article. San Francisco 49ers quaterback Alex Smith also reportedly joined the search efforts.

As marchers chanted, “bring Sierra home!” passing cars honked in solidarity. Several community members stood on the corner of Monterey Street and W. Dunne Avenue with a collection box to gather donations from drivers to add to the Sierra LaMar Fund, which was created to help the LaMar family cover search-and-rescue costs and create a reward for information leading to Sierra's recovery.

Marchers, Kyla Redmond, 15, and Mariah Ross, 16, who used to cheer on the same all-star team as Sierra, said they came from San Jose to help in the efforts to keep their teammate in the public’s eye.

“We’re still in shock,” Ross said of her friend’s disappearance.

“It’s hard to believe that she’s not at her house,” Redmond added. “We want to bring more attention to her face and hopefully someone will recognize her.”

Michelle Hernandez, a Gilroy resident whose parents apparently live down the street from the LaMar home, brought her 17-year-old daughter, Sarah, to deliver a message to those who might want to abduct young people.

“We are here to bring awareness to these perpetrators who think they can get away with taking our children,” she said. “The community has had enough.”

Hernandez said she believes the strong turnout of marchers sends a message to would-be child abductors that parents and children are watching, and will not live in fear of them.

“This is our area,” she said. “These are our kids and we’re not going to let them take them from us.”

KlaasKids Harnesses Power of the Youth in Search for Sierra LaMar
KlaasKids Foundation volunteers are figuring out ways to incorporate young people in the effort to find the missing Morgan Hill teen.

Email the author
 5:00 am

While their parents helped make yesterday’s volunteer searches for Sierra LaMar the largest yet, around 25 youths under age 18 stayed behind in the cafeteria of Burnett Elementary School, scrawling messages like "Find Sierra LaMar" and drawing big pink hearts on posterboard.
 ::snipping2::
Marc Klaas, founder of the KlaasKids Foundation, said that a recent Gilroy Patch article asking for suggestions on how youths can help in the search has been a boon of ideas for the effort, though more suggestions are always welcome.

“We need more ideas from young people,” Klaas said. “Because [Sierra] hasn’t been found yet, we need to start planning for the long-term and the more ideas we get, the better suited we’ll be to handle what comes our way.”

He said it’s vital to the momentum of the search to keep new ideas coming so those looking for Sierra don’t have to “reinvent the wheel” every day.

Organizers have been particularly struck by suggestions from the public to hold safety assemblies at schools and to release photos of Sierra in which she isn’t smiling.

“Wherever she is, she isn’t smiling now,” Sanchez said. “We’re working on making new posters with her not smiling right now.”


As the community support in the search grows, Joy said that involving young people in the process is critical to preventing something like this from happening again.

"Prevention is the key,” she said. “This is where it starts as far as education. We can teach young people how to protect themselves better.”

Youths under age 18 who wish to participate in the Teen Brigade can arrive anytime between 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. today at Burnett Elementary School at 85 Tilton Ave. If weather permits, youths may team up to deliver fliers door-to-door or post them throughout Morgan Hill.

Sierra Lamar: Missing Cheerleader Was Likely Kidnapped, Police Say

Santa Clara Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Jose Cardoza says authorities now believe LaMar may have been the victim of an acquaintance abduction.

Why has the volunteer search been cancelled ... the volunteer search that continues to have a great response?  Has LE, Steve Lamar, Marlene Lamas, Danielle Lamar and/or the elusive Rick Gardiner spoken to media following the above words of Sgt. Jose Cardoza?  Is the the investigation focusing in another direction ... another direction that implies Sierra is not a runaway ... Sierra was not kidnapped as she dashed out of her home to catch the school bus.?

FAMILY DYNAMICS
 
Logic dictates that Steve Lamar's perverted sexual attraction to children did not begin and end with the incident at Danielle's slumber party when she was 13 years old.  Most mothers would move heaven and earth to prevent their children/teenage girls from having unsupervised contact with a RCSO ... father or otherwise.  However ... Sierre LIVED with this man prior to moving to Morgan Hill.  What is wrong with this picture?  It would not happen in my world.
 
Bottom Line.  Are members of this "tight knit" family holding onto secrets regarding the  happenings that ultimately led to the disappearing of Sierra Lemar?
 
Where does the elusive Rick Gardiner fit into this "tight knit" family?  Out of a warped/misguided sense of loyality ... does Marlene Lamar's "elusive" boyfriend have knowledge and/or cover up involvement?  Considering only Marlene is required to commute to her workplace in Fremont ... why would her boyfriend have the need to leave the residences at 6:00 AM on the morning of March 16th?  Could it that an attorney's instructions are behind Rick Gardiner's ongoing silence ... instructions not to speak to the media ... instructions not to take a polygraph?

I have learned (second hand) that there are volunteer searchers who are asking the same questions.

A Tight Knit Family

The stuff of nightmares sets in for family of missing Morgan Hill girl
03/21/2012 10:23:55 PM PDT


Making the case even more complicated is that her father, a computer engineer, is a registered sex offender. He pleaded no contest in 2009 to "lewd acts" with a minor younger than 14 after he fondled a friend of his older daughter's at a slumber party in 1999.

LaMar said when his daughter disappeared Friday, he immediately told police about his criminal background "in the interests of openness, truthfulness and cooperation."

Sierra's sister, Danielle LaMar, 21, said despite her father's conviction and her parents' divorce, the family of four remains tight-knit. "I've always been really close with my dad," she said.

Regardless of how a parent feels about visitation and/or custody issues, without violating the law...it's not up to them alone what happens in those situations.  These issues are usually handled in court along with a divorce, and any changes to those arrangements that aren't mutually agreed upon would have to be changed with the court as well.

The fact that someone is an RSO, doesn't necessarily exclude them from custody or unsupervised visits with their children...no matter how WE may feel about that.

http://www.kinseylaw.com/clientserv2/famlawservices/childcustody/childcustody.html

IMO logic dictates that since WE DON'T KNOW the family dynamics and/or possible court decisions that allowed Sierra to live with her father, then move to Morgan Hill with her mother but continue to spend weekends with her father; we shouldn't rush to judgment or disparage Marlene Lamar on those issues.

If the brief guidelines from the link above are accurate as to California law on these issues, it would seem that Sierra possibly (and more than likely imo) also would have had a say on how much time she spent with her father.

There is more about that here:

http://www.cadivorce.com/california-divorce-guide/child-custody-and-visitation/what-age-does-a-child-decide-which-parent/

It has been stated many times by LE that Sierra's parents are not suspects in her disappearance.

The important thing IMO is to FIND SIERRA.

JMHO

Sassifras,

I've had questions about Rick since I found out about him (big red flag for me), even though the police say he is not as suspect; I still have questions.  I may not repeatedly post about them, but they are still there as they were when I posted them.

http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=12862.msg1514148#msg1514148

http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=12862.msg1514160#msg1514160
(At the time I posted this, I thought the other "Rick" that is a FB friend of Marlene's might be the boyfriend, found out later that HE IS NOT.  The comment about the same High School's was in reference to Marlene and the other FB friend, Rick)

I sincerely apologize if I caused confusion over the High School's that Marlene and her BF Rick attended.   

According to their facebook accounts Marlene and her BF Rick Gardiner DID NOT attend the same High Schools.

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1130073699

Rick Gardiner

Crestmoor High School

Crestmoor High, San Bruno, CA

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1370561642

Marlene Lamar

Milpitas High School
Class of 1978

I think Milpitas may be a suburb of San Jose, I don't know how close that is to San Bruno or if they may have known each other by some other means during their HS years?



LE has repeatedly stated that along with Marlene Lemar and Steve Lemar ... Rick Gardiner is not a suspect.  However ... I also believe there are red flags in regards to this guy.  I cannot get any of the adults in Sierra's life a pass without affirmation that each has been investigated and ruled out as persons of interest.

1.  Were computers seized?
 
2.  Were cell phone records analyzed
 
3.  Were vehicles forensically searched
 
4.  Were respective residences/properties searched
 
5.  Were polygraphs administered by investigators ... administered and passed?
 
IF NOT; WHY NOT?

With no leads yet, investigators continue searching for missing teen
Posted: Wednesday, March 21, 2012 5:08 pm | Updated: 12:34 pm, Thu Mar 22, 2012.


Forensics investigators will continue to examine the phone and its contents when it is dry, sheriff’s Lt. Troy Smith said.

LaMar’s mother Marlene and her boyfriend Rick Gardiner, as well as the teen’s father Steve LaMar have all been ruled out as suspects, according to Smith.

“The entire family has fully cooperated with our agency,” Smith said. “All of the family (mother, father, Gardiner) have alibis and can be accounted for at the time Sierra went missing.”

MORGAN HILL, Calif.-- Dozens of youth volunteers arrived at Burnett Elementary School to help with fundraising and spreading posters throughout the community.

While the search teams were out hiking through steep hills and trails some of sierra's friends were upset because they were told everyone under 18 needed to stay behind. Klaas Kids Volunteers said they couldn't allow teen and children to go out and search because it's dangerous. "You know its not safe, they could get hurt. The searches are going in ditches, they're climbing up and down hills and they're out in the middle of nowhere so we don't want them to get hurt or lost," said Midsi Sanchez.

So they decided to start helping out in their own way by fundraising. Some of the younger volunteers have been making hundreds of posters and posting them all over parts of Morgan Hill, some places in Gilroy and even parts of Watsonville.

They're also posting pictures and putting together pink and yellow bows, tying them almost everywhere. Some teens have even started bringing the search effort to their own towns. One of Sierra's friends, Mason Rogers told Central Coast News she's doing everything she can to bring awareness of Sierra's disappearance. "Just any help I can possibly to. I've held stuff at my school in Woodland for any help at all," said Rogers.

Counselors were also on hand to mentor some of the teens.

Search efforts for missing Morgan Hill teen Sierra LaMar will begin to take place in Gilroy starting this week, according to Sgt. Jose Cardoza of the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office.

Searches will continue in Morgan Hill, but will expand into San Martin as well. Canvass searches extending further from the LaMar home will take place, and investigators will follow all leads and tips that continue to come in for Sierra, Cardoza wrote in a prepared statement.

Sassifras,

I've had questions about Rick since I found out about him (big red flag for me), even though the police say he is not as suspect; I still have questions.  I may not repeatedly post about them, but they are still there as they were when I posted them.

(At the time I posted this, I thought the other "Rick" that is a FB friend of Marlene's might be the boyfriend, found out later that HE IS NOT.  The comment about the same High School's was in reference to Marlene and the other FB friend, Rick)

I sincerely apologize if I caused confusion over the High School's that Marlene and her BF Rick attended.   

According to their facebook accounts Marlene and her BF Rick Gardiner DID NOT attend the same High Schools.

Rick Gardiner

High School   

Crestmoor High School

Crestmoor High, San Bruno, CA

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1370561642

Marlene Lamar

High School   

Milpitas High School
Class of 1978

I think Milpitas may be a suburb of San Jose, I don't know how close that is to San Bruno or if they may have known each other by some other means during their HS years?



LE has repeatedly stated that along with Marlene Lemar and Steve Lemar ... Rick Gardiner is not a suspect.  However ... I also believe there are red flags in regards to this guy.  I cannot get any of the adults in Sierra's life a pass without affirmation that each has been investigated and ruled out as persons of interest.

1.  Were computers seized?
 
2.  Were cell phone records analyzed
 
3.  Were vehicles forensically searched
 
4.  Were respective residences/properties searched
 
5.  Were polygraphs administered by investigators ... administered and passed?
 
IF NOT; WHY NOT?

With no leads yet, investigators continue searching for missing teen
Posted: Wednesday, March 21, 2012 5:08 pm | Updated: 12:34 pm, Thu Mar 22, 2012.


Forensics investigators will continue to examine the phone and its contents when it is dry, sheriff’s Lt. Troy Smith said.

LaMar’s mother Marlene and her boyfriend Rick Gardiner, as well as the teen’s father Steve LaMar have all been ruled out as suspects, according to Smith.

“The entire family has fully cooperated with our agency,” Smith said. “All of the family (mother, father, Gardiner) have alibis and can be accounted for at the time Sierra went missing.”

I didn't say anything about giving anyone a pass in my prior post.  But constant repeated disparaging speculation is inconducive to discussion and borders on disrespectful IMO.

You didn't have anything to add to this post you quoted, but I DO GET YOUR POINT.  However, I do see a difference in having questions about a live in boyfriend of however long...and repeated disparaging speculation that Sierra's entire family has conspired together in her disappearance!

Actually reading what is posted here from the media, or perhaps some research of your own might actually answer some of your questions.  We all know that the media isn't always accurate and since you obviously don't trust the media reports that could answer at least some of your questions; maybe you should request a personal interview with those WHO COULD give you the affirmation you desire?  I just don't think those of us here following this case can.  I haven't seen anyone posting here on this case yet with insider information from LE.

But that's just me...to each his own...CARRY ON JANET! 

I'll just go back to scrolling on by your posts. I've been good at that for a long time now since they usually aren't forum oriented anyway imo.

Social media users asked to change their profile pictures to photo of missing teen

The KlaasKids Foundation is asking users of social media Internet sites to participate in a 24-hour online vigil for Sierra LaMar, the Sobrato High School sophomore who has been missing from her north Morgan Hill home for 17 days.

The online tribute to LaMar is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Monday. Users of all social media sites – such as Facebook, Twitter and Google-Plus – are asked to change their profile pictures to a photo of the missing teen until 6 p.m. Tuesday, according to a press release from KlaasKids.

The purpose of the vigil is to encourage online awareness, involvement and family support for the search for Sierra across the Internet, according to KlaasKids.

Fair Hopes To Raise Child Safety Awareness
April 2, 2012

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - Sierra LaMar vanished on her way to school in Morgan Hill more than two weeks ago. Investigators believe she was kidnapped.
 
“There’s a lot of that going on right now,” said Deputy Tamara Mickelson, Sacramento County Sheriffs Department.
 
The missing girl is on the mind of Mickelson today at the Sacramento Child Safety Fair.
 
“We’re talking about child abuse, child neglect, stranger danger. There’s a ton of that going on right now in the United States. It’s huge.

Sunday’s goal is to spread child safety awareness. The event is drawing in parents and their children with music, booths for kids, and even a K-9 demonstration.
 
It’s just one of the four events out of Sacramento that are part of the national effort to educate families.
 
At the fair today was Marc Klass, whose own daughter Polly disappeared. He recently helped search for LaMar.
 
“It’s about raising awareness. It’s about distributing information and acquiring knowledge,” said Klass.

Searches for Sierra LaMar winding down
Posted: Monday, April 2, 2012 7:12 pm | Updated: 7:32 pm, Mon Apr 2, 2012.


As the search for Morgan Hill resident Sierra LaMar, 15, moves into its 18th day, the KlaasKids Foundation announced two more upcoming volunteer search opportunities and urges the community to continue to help in the efforts to find her.

Those are scheduled for Saturday, April 7, and Wednesday, April 11, according to KlaasKids Foundation founder Marc Klaas. Those who want to help can show up at Burnett Elementary, 85 Tilton Ave., on those days from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. People can also help by donating supplies and money to assist in the search efforts.

Daily volunteer searches such as those that drew more than 2,000 volunteers last week are “not sustainable” for the foundation for now, Klaas said. On Sunday, more than 500 people showed up to volunteer for the search efforts. The search radius was expanded to 20 miles from Sierra’s north Morgan Hill home.

“We’ve turned the administration of the searches primarily over to the community and family, but we’re going to continue to provide mapping for the search efforts, and our team will be available to come out again as necessary,” Klaas said.

Sierra Lamar: Missing Cheerleader Was Likely Kidnapped, Police Say

Quote
Santa Clara Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Jose Cardoza says authorities now believe LaMar may have been the victim of an acquaintance abduction.

Why has the volunteer search been cancelled ... the volunteer search that continues to have a great response?  Has LE, Steve Lamar, Marlene Lamas, Danielle Lamar and/or the elusive Rick Gardiner spoken to media following the above words of Sgt. Jose Cardoza?  Is the the investigation focusing in another direction ... another direction that implies Sierra is not a runaway ... Sierra was not kidnapped as she dashed out of her home to catch the school bus.? 

Janet


Maybe called of for the week since I assume many volunteers have jobs during the week?

Klaas ... you could be right.  However ... the number of volunteer searchers in the past week were high.  Marc stated in his facebook that searches would be resumed if required.

Hey ... what will be will be.

Janet


I volunteered 5 out of the 6 days last week and announcements made at the search center said that they didn't want to burn the public out, and that they had lots of "possible evidence" to be collected and leads to follow up on! Being on several search teams and a team leader on a couple searches...we flagged lots of suspicious items!

"Suspicious evidence" could be related to any potential crime. As far as Sierra, personally, I don't think it looks good. This beautiful exuberant young lady most likely trusted someone(s) that she shouldn't have trusted. Think back when you were 15 (a longggg time for me). Teenagers are quite naive.

Retired FBI agent weighs-in on Sierra kidnapping scenarios
Posted: Tuesday, April 3, 2012 3:46 pm | Updated: 4:22 pm, Tue Apr 3, 2012.

Two renowned experts who have spent their entire careers profiling violent, shady criminals and analyzing human behavior say that Sierra LaMar’s likely kidnapper – or kidnappers – probably stalked the missing teen before grabbing her from the street outside her home, and that the victim’s personality is likely the polar opposite of her captor’s - an attribute that could end up saving her life.

Clint Van Zandt is a retired FBI agent, hostage negotiator and a profiler in behavioral science. He agreed with sheriff’s investigators’ premise that Sierra was likely kidnapped or abducted, based on what he has read in the media about the case so far.

I don't think it looks good either! We received a recorded phone call from the Santa Clara County Sheriff sometime after 11:00 the night the Sierra didn't come home...I was scared out of my mind that something bad had happened because no one ever calls us after 9. The recording gave us the intersection of where she would have caught the bus...and as I looked at the map I remember seeing Calero Reservoir and thinking how close she was to the mountains. I couldn't sleep that night and she has been on my ever since! I've watched the news, read articles, listened to her family and friends speak and I believe she was abducted! Whoever took her saw her waiting for the bus on a daily basis...and whoever took her either lived near her or worked near her. I believe it was planned! I believe that the clothes found in the bag were the ones she had on and that they were a message from her abductor that something terrible had happened to her! Having been out there searching and thinking about where she might be and all the different scenarios that could have occurred...I can't help but think she's probably not alive anymore! But then there's Jaycee Dugard...what if someone still has her and we just need to search every property and we'll find her! These homes are so spread out...my neighbor's house is 20 feet away and I don't hear or see all that goes on next door. Questions we were asking people..."How well do you know you're neighbor?" "Does any of your neighbors live alone?" "Can you think of anyone that could have done this?" Lots of people weren't home(or pretended not to be) many had gates at the end of their driveways that were locked, some with big dogs barking at you as you approached. It's overwhelming and almost hopeless. I will continue to volunteer when I can...and pray for her and her family!

Thank you for the insight kristipartyof5!   ::MonkeyCool::

I understand all that you and the others in your area are thinking and feeling.  When you don't know what happened, you have to think about all of the possibilities.  And I agree with you that every property should be searched!  If the owners don't have anything to hide they should be willing to unlock those locks, pen up the dogs, open those gates and allow LE to search!  Unfortunately, I don't think it's looking good for Sierra either.  The neatly folded clothes and especially the undergarments worries me...the undergarments rule out that she might have been taking the clothes to loan to someone like her mother said she sometimes did imo.  I understand your theory about the clothes in the purse, that has crossed my mind too...just hoping we're wrong.  I know how overwhelming and hopeless it must seem, especially with each day that passes and she's not found; but please know how much your efforts are appreciated...by all of us following Sierra's case, and I know certainly by her family and all who love her especially.  My thoughts and prayers are with them too, I hope they will have answers soon.

Thanks again for sharing!   ::MonkeyCool::

I have one glint of hope, because, no one found Sierra's makeup bag, assuming that she had one.  When I was Fifteen, not sure if I had a makeup bag or not, but I would have
had some kind of bag for my Tinklebell toiletries, and Tissues, etc. :)

JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL

Ominous Find in Missing Cheerleader Case

Aired April 3, 2012 - 19:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.


JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL, HOST: I`m Jane Velez-Mitchell, coming to you live from New York City. Breaking news on several fronts tonight. We`re keeping an eye on the tornadoes that have hit Texas, and we`re also covering the story of a stunning 15-year-old cheerleader who vanished from her driveway. I will talk to her frantic mother next about the race to find her beautiful daughter.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL (voice-over): Tonight, the search for a missing California teen intensifies. Cops believe this beautiful cheerleader was abducted outside her house two and a half weeks ago. One day later, police found her cell phone less than a mile away. And now, more disturbing clues. I`ll talk to the missing teen`s mother, and we`ll investigate her mysterious disappearance.

 ::snipping2::

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We love you, Sierra, come home. We miss you.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We love you, Sierra, come home. We miss you.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We love you, Sierra, come home. We miss you.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Fifteen-year-old Sierra LaMar disappeared near San Francisco about two weeks ago.

Steve Lamar: Come home, baby, please come home. You`re not in trouble.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Her cell phone and purse were found on the road near her home.

Marlene Lamar: As each day goes, it is longer and longer, it has become more real. It`s like more real. I just want her back.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Tonight, a community desperately searches for a beautiful missing high school cheerleader as new, frightening clues emerge.

Massive search teams are scouring the area, frantically searching for 15-year-old Sierra LaMar. She disappeared almost two and a half weeks ago from the driveway of her home in Morgan Hill, just 70 miles outside San Francisco. Her mom says Sierra would never run off without telling her.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

Marlene Lamar: I talked to her, said good-bye, and gave her a hug, and things were good, and I told her I loved her. She would never want us to go through all this pain.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Sierra was reported missing after her school`s automated system alerted her mom that she had missed class 12 hours after she had last seen her precious daughter that morning.

Sierra`s cell phone and her purse, containing only a neatly folded pair of clothing, including undergarments, found in the hours after she was reported missing.

But just a few days ago, search teams, well, they made a disturbing discovery. They found an empty handcuff box and condoms at the dead end of a road less than two miles from Sierra`s home. Could these items be connected to this beautiful girl`s disappearance?

What do you think? Call me: 1-877-JVM-SAYS.

Straight out to my very special guest, Sierra`s mother, Marlene LaMar. Thank you so much for joining me. Our hearts go out to you. We want to help find your daughter. We know that it`s a race against time. We know having her face up on television often provokes memories and gets people thinking. And maybe they know something, and they`ll understand it. This is very significant.

First of all, I have to ask you, Marlene, what have these past two weeks been like for you?

MARLENE LAMAR, SIERRA`S MOTHER: Well, it`s truly unbelievable. You know, no parent should go through this. I have spoken with parents that are victims, and they truly feel what I`m going through. And it`s -- it`s a nightmare, and it`s -- it`s not going to end until I have her in my arms so I can give her a hug again. Until she comes home to me safely, the nightmare really isn`t over.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Now, I understand that cops said something in your daughter`s computer led them to believe that your daughter was being held against her will. Obviously, this is a very disturbing case, but do you know what that was? What did cops tell you? What have they told you?

LAMAR: Well, they didn`t say something specifically they found on the computer. They just said just from reviewing her Facebook and Twitter and, you know, all the data coming from her laptop didn`t indicate that, you know, there was the possibility, other possibilities leading to a runaway situation. You know, as far as her, she seemed like a normal teenager, doing the normal routine and normal conversing on Facebook. There wasn`t anything to indicate that she was unhappy and wanted to leave, for the most part of it.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, let`s talk about this case, because we want to find your daughter. Let`s dive into it, because we want to help find your daughter and leave no stone unturned as we really give you the results of what we`ve been doing in terms of investigating.

Cops believe this suspect is either from Morgan Hill, your hometown, or very familiar with that area. Now, I want to show you a map where all the key pieces of evidence have been found.

OK. Sierra`s home just down the street from her bus stop, where she failed to board the bus Friday, March 16. The next day, her cell phone was found about a mile from her house in a field by the road. Not even 12 hours after that, a search team found her purse with neatly folded clothing, including undergarments, less than two miles from her house.

And then just a few days ago in the opposite direction from her clothes, searchers made that disturbing discovery, finding an empty handcuff box and two used condoms less than two miles from the girl`s home.

So I want to go to you, Jon Lieberman. You`re an investigative reporter. You`ve been looking into this. What do you make of these pieces of evidence?

JON LIEBERMAN, INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER: Well, at this point, police don`t believe that this was a stranger abduction. They do believe that if, indeed, she was abducted, she had had previous contact with the person that abducted her, meaning they may have been communicating through the computer, through text messages.

One of their theories is that perhaps she left the house that morning and she went to go meet somebody to spend the day with that person. That`s one theory.

Now, to the condoms and the empty handcuff box, police right now are doing DNA testing to see what they can find forensically on these items. And there are two theories there, as well. Because you`ll recall, they did an extensive search of this area prior, and they didn`t find the handcuffs box and they didn`t find the condoms.

So then, when they went back, they did find them. The question is, were they there the whole time, or something more sinister? Did somebody actually go back, if these are connected to the case and place them there, thereby taunting cops and taunting this poor family?

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, cops have been examining both Sierra`s cell phone and her laptop for clues, as the missing girl`s mother just mentioned. Let`s listen to this.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So we`re doing some forensics on that cell phone, try to get any information that we can off that cell phone as well as her laptop.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Now, let`s look again at the specific area search teams have found evidence.

The police dogs lost Sierra`s scent at the end of her driveway, which is seen right here. Then the next day, search teams found Sierra`s cell phone in the field by this intersection less than a mile from her home. You can see this is a rural area.

Then the very next day, a team found Sierra`s Juicy brand purse, containing a neatly folded pair of pants and a T-shirt and undergarments right here, just two blocks from where Sierra`s phone was found. You`re looking at the actual location.

So I`ve got to go to Marc Klaas. You are one of my heroes, founder of the Klaas Kids Foundation, and you have experienced your own daughter`s tragic abduction. And that`s why you devoted your life to try to solve cases like this.

What do you make of this box that is supposed to hold handcuffs -- and I hate to be graphic, but these are facts, and we want to get them out there -- these used condoms and all the other pieces of evidence that have been found in this case?

MARC KLAAS, KLAAS KIDS FOUNDATION: Well, Jane, I firmly believe that the phone and the -- finding the bag are totally related to the case.

But the one thing I do agree with the reporter on is that the possibility exists that the condoms and the handcuff box were a plant.

Now, the theory that I think makes the most sense regarding Sierra`s disappearance is not that she ran away with somebody, because there`s no evidence on her telephone or in any of her computer -- in her computer or in any of her social networking profiles that she would have done something like that, and it would have been out of character.

However, that she went outside and got into a car with somebody she felt comfortable with and was familiar with, is a very real and distinct possibility.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Yes. Absolutely. And we`re going to analyze her tweets in just a second, because we have created actually a time line of events that morning.

But first, I want to go to the phones. Joseph, Tennessee, your question or thought, Joseph?

CALLER: Yes. Hello?

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Hi. Yes, your question or thought, Joseph.

CALLER: I want to say this thing breaks my heart. We keep hearing more and more and more about incidents like this happening. We need laws to take these sexual predators and we`re going to nail them to the wall. And we can`t be getting them and releasing them.

They have maps that show where these sexual predators live . They shouldn`t be in the street. They shouldn`t be in the jail, they should be under the jail. This is a heart breaker. Why did it take 12 hours for that school to notify this poor family about their daughter not being in classes where she was supposed to be?

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Excellent question. Mark Eiglarsh, criminal defense attorney. Had the mother known sooner, she could have gotten a jump on looking for her daughter.

MARK EIGLARSH, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: I don`t disagree. I`d like to know what the other side would argue, but if somehow there`s a gap that long, that definitely effected the investigation. I think the key in this case is looking at that laptop and seeing who she had contact with. I`m sure law enforcement are working on that now.

Yes. And on the other side of the break, we`re going to give you a time line of what Sierra did that morning, including tweets. We`re also going to talk to the famous judge Larry Seidlin on this case.

 ::snipping2::

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

LAMAR: I feel guilty because I`m always worried about where she is. If you can hear me, know I love you, want you back. I love you and I just want you back.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: This is a nightmare for the mother of missing teen Sierra LaMar. And you are looking at video we just got in moments ago of the teenager who is missing. And we are freezing it to show you that is the young lady, a beautiful young lady. She`s there with some of her friends, and she is wearing the white sweatshirt right there.

And this is from YouTube. We were given this because we want to help find her. Obviously, she appears to be at an amusement park. It looks like Disneyland, because she`s wearing the Mickey Mouse ears. But again, here she is, a beautiful young, happy, happy-go-lucky girl who is not despondent or depressed.

The question is, and I`ll bring this out to Marlene LaMar, the mother of this missing teen. We don`t want to, in any way, make this more difficult than it already is for you, and I know that it`s so difficult. We`ve been doing some investigating, which is what we do on the show. And we`ve come up with some social media where somebody who has the same exact name as your daughter seems a little more sophisticated than we`ve led to believe, at this point, that there was even some references to experimentation with weed.

Now listen, I say this as a person who`s in recovery for 17 years. And when I was a teenager, of course, I`m the first to admit that I tried pot, you know. It`s just something that teenagers often do. I`m not condoning it or suggesting it, but I`m saying it to put it in context.

Marlene, what I`m trying to say is do you think she might have been doing things that you weren`t aware of, might have had friends that you weren`t aware of, may have even had a boyfriend that you weren`t aware of?

LAMAR: Well, I wasn`t aware of any boy that she was in a relationship or had a crush with. She was pretty open with me. She would actually ask for my advice. And I was -- I was pleased with the relationship we did have, because, you know, a lot of teenagers don`t confide in their parents as far as who their crush is, and they get all embarrassed. Or they don`t think it`s any business of their parents, and there was nothing to...

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Did she ever seem secretive when she was on her laptop? In other words, that she might be talking to somebody that you wouldn`t have approved of, an older man, a strange man? I mean, these -- there are men. They`re on the Internet. They prey on girls just like this.

LAMAR: I spoke with her about, you know -- when she started the Facebook thing, I just told her, you know, be really careful about your privacy. You know, there`s a lot of predators out there. Don`t put your address on your Facebook or information that may encourage a stalker.

So she was -- so she pretty street smart that way. Even when she walked down the street on Doherty (ph), she was aware of her surroundings. She would look behind her, you know.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: All right. Let me jump in, because we want to get to some very key facts in the case. This is the time line.

6 a.m., you, Sierra`s mother, you leave for work. You say you saw her in her P.J.s.

6:29 a.m. Sierra posts the last tweet to her Twitter account.

7:10 a.m., Sierra usually leaves home to start walking to her bus top.

7:11 a.m., she sent an undisclosed text from her cell phone to a friend.

And then at 7:25 a.m., Sierra usually boarded the school bus just down the street from her house. The bus driver never saw her.

Finally, 6:30 p.m., Sierra is reported missing after she didn`t attend school.

Judge Larry Seidlin, you covered so many of these cases. What do you make of it? What should cops be doing?

LARRY SEIDLIN, JUDGE: Well, the police are going to examine that time line, and that`s the most important thing: where she was and what she did.

The textbooks say that 70 percent of these cases, there`s a relationship with the victim, Sierra, and the suspect. And they`re going to look through her relationships and who she knows. And it`s very difficult. We lost a lot of hours here. We lost a lot of time. And -- and by the school contacting her so late...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I can`t believe this is happening to like one of my best friends.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Now we`re praying for her to come back home, and it just makes us so sad.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Those are her friends and school mates. Sierra`s dad has also been heavily involved in the search for his daughter since she went missing. Here is Sierra`s father.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

Steve Lamar: Come home, baby, please come home. You`re not in trouble. Everyone, everyone wants to see you.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: This is so heart breaking, Sierra`s dad, we have to mention is a convicted sex offender, reportedly in a lewd and lascivious case involving a 14-year-old girl, but cops -- it`s important to say cops have cleared him of any wrongdoing in his daughter, Sierra`s, disappearance. And he, like any other frantic father, has been searching night and day for her.

Now, she had lived with the dad in his hometown of Fremont about 40 miles away until last October, which leads me to wonder, Mark Eiglarsh, could she have maintained ties with somebody from that town? And also, what about these clothes that were found in her purse. That is odd, too. I mean, if it were sports, you`d think maybe a backpack or something.

MARK EIGLARSH, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: I think your speculation is dead on. Right now, we have to consider everything. Could there have been some contact made that then somehow she maintained contact while she moved? Anything is a possibility.

The clothing I also found to be very unusual. Thank God we have trained investigators looking into it. I don`t know what to make of it. I do want to say, though, the condoms and the box with the handcuffs, that I find suspicious. I can`t believe they didn`t find it to begin with.

And secondly, this area, I read, was an area that teenagers seemed to hang out in and drink. So that might account for why these items might have been placed there.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: All right. We`re going to the phone lines again. Annie in Arizona, your question or thought, Annie?

CALLER: I have the question, he actually said it about those clothes and her bag. And I was wondering if anybody has thought -- you know, I was a teenager once myself. I`m 28 now, but if maybe somebody had talked her into doing something for the day.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, Marlene -- I want to go to the mother. Why would she have a change of clothes in her purse?

LAMAR: Well, I`ve seen her borrow clothes frequently from her friends, and they would borrow clothes from her, as well. So I would see her bring a pair of pants that she`s returning that she borrowed to a friend and a blouse. So as far as clothes being in her purse, you know, that happened frequently, you know. She loved clothes, and she would borrow frequently from them and vice versa. They would borrow clothes from her, as well.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Marc Klaas, cops apparently refused to issue an Amber Alert, saying it didn`t fit the criteria. There`s a controversy about that. Because a lot of parents who have suffered tragedies, said if cops had only issued that Amber Alert.

KLAAS: They got (AUDIO GAP). You have to remember, Jane, this was about 11 hours after she apparently disappeared, and they have absolutely no information except the fact that she walked out of her house and seemed to -- the dog seemed to have lost the scent right near the freeway.

So in this instance, it really doesn`t fit the Amber Alert criteria, but I think that the response has been effective.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Oh, please, put security cameras on every street. It would help out so much.

Thursday search in Sierra LaMar disappearance to focus on San Martin, Gilroy
Posted:   04/04/2012 04:10:25 PM PDT
Updated:   04/04/2012 04:14:47 PM PDT


Another day-long search for evidence in the disappearance of Morgan Hill teenager Sierra LaMar is scheduled for Thursday, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office.

The sheriff's search and rescue unit, including three specially trained dogs and 20 people, will focus on searching in Gilroy and San Martin from 9 a.m. until about 5:30 p.m.

Searches for Sierra LaMar winding down
Posted: Monday, April 2, 2012 7:12 pm | Updated: 7:32 pm, Mon Apr 2, 2012.


As the search for Morgan Hill resident Sierra LaMar, 15, moves into its 18th day, the KlaasKids Foundation announced two more upcoming volunteer search opportunities and urges the community to continue to help in the efforts to find her.

Those are scheduled for Saturday, April 7, and Wednesday, April 11, according to KlaasKids Foundation founder Marc Klaas. Those who want to help can show up at Burnett Elementary, 85 Tilton Ave., on those days from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. People can also help by donating supplies and money to assist in the search efforts.

Daily volunteer searches such as those that drew more than 2,000 volunteers last week are “not sustainable” for the foundation for now, Klaas said. On Sunday, more than 500 people showed up to volunteer for the search efforts. The search radius was expanded to 20 miles from Sierra’s north Morgan Hill home.

“We’ve turned the administration of the searches primarily over to the community and family, but we’re going to continue to provide mapping for the search efforts, and our team will be available to come out again as necessary,” Klaas said.

I'm watching Nancy Grace from earlier tonight.  I don't see a transcript yet, so this is not verbatim.

Nancy asks Marlene Lamar if she knows what shirt was in Sierra's purse.  Marlene Lamar says that she does know what shirt it was, but will not say because she doesn't want to interfere with the police investigation.

Brad Barker, Kidnapping expert and President of the Halo Corporation in San Diego asked if it was typical behavior for Sierra to be packing a bag with extra clothing and that sort of thing for cheerleading practice or changing clothes?  He said this might indicate a behavioral recognition pattern or deviation from the norm which could be a clue as well. Marlene Lamar said Sierra would borrow things frequently from her friends and her friends would borrow her clothes as well.  As far as packing a suitcase, nothing is usually packed in a neat fashion.

The "not neat" part bothered me.  Perhaps she grabbed clothes that were already folded in her drawer.  :smt102  Still not sure why she would have undergarments included, if she was sharing clothes or returning clothes.  I just don't want to think that she was trying to "kill time" when told to undress.  If the clothes are what she had on, where are her shoes??  :smt102

On Nancy Grace tonight:

There was also discussion about the handcuff box and used condoms found.  Sierra’s mom said she has not been told at this time whether or not the items have been directly connected to Sierra.  Marlene Lamar confirmed that DNA samples had been taken from Sierra’s family members, as well as hair taken from her hairbrush; and her toothbrush taken by the FBI.

Sierra LaMar's DNA Obtained by Detectives

April 04, 2012 07:30 PM EDT

The mother of Sierra LaMar spoke with Nancy Grace this evening regarding the disappearance of her daughter along with other details surrounding this case. The short interview segment made mention of DNA samples belonging to the missing 15-year-old cheerleader that were collected by detectives. This DNA will be compared to the used condoms found with the handcuff box last week to determine whether or not the items are tied to the girl's presumed abduction.

 ::snipping2::

The mother of the missing girl said she was aware of which shirt was found in particular, but couldn't clarify for not wanting to compromise the investigation. Could this mean that the clothing found was the same clothing worn by the girl the morning she was allegedly abducted?

Hopefully with the DNA obtained from the girl's toothbrush and hairbrush forensic experts will be able to determine whether or not the most recent evidence is even connected to Sierra's disappearance. Meanwhile, the search for the young woman is continuing.

I just have a feeling  the clothes had blood or something on them.  After initial reports, they added the term "injured".  I was thinking they must have found blood on the purse or clothes because I don't think they used the term injured before then (and if the blood was on the drive I think they would have found it in their initial search).  :smt102

More questions than answers.  So sad.

Cardoza said a pair of pants, a shirt, a bra and a pair of underwear were neatly folded inside a Juicy brand purse. It was not clear if they were the clothes Sierra put on the morning she was last seen or if they were something she brought along with her. He said they contained no forensic evidence that pointed to a crime or a person of interest in the case. They said they did not release the information earlier because they were waiting on forensic evidence analysis.

Cardoza would not confirm reports that the purse or clothing had urine on it. "The specific details on the condition of the clothing - whether they were wet or had urine on them - we are holding that specific detail as confidential," Cardoza said.

Thursday's search is different from the searches that were held over the weekend in purpose. The weekend searches were focused on finding a missing or injured person. Now, the search team is looking for clues that might point to a crime. They will be looking for clothing, tire tracks, a weapon or blood evidence.


snipped too quickly, added another statement from that press conference, that imo goes along with what Buckeye said.

Search for Sierra Lamar shifts to Gilroy
UPDATED 5:40 PM PDT Apr 04, 2012


GILROY, Calif. - In the search for Sierra Lamar, Santa Clara County Sheriff's deputies are pulling out of Morgan Hill and going to Gilroy and San Martin, where they think her body may have been dumped or hidden.

 ::snipping2::

From 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. Thursday, the sheriff's department will search specific areas in Gilroy and San Martin with human remain detection K-9 dogs.

Sheriff's Sgt. Jose Cardoza did not say what evidence prompted investigators to shift their search away from Morgan Hill to Gilroy and San Martin to the south.

Detectives said Sierra did not runaway from home and she was abducted by someone who knew the Morgan Hill area well.

So far, law enforcement and volunteer searches have only taken place in Morgan Hill.

NANCY GRACE

Baby Ava Found Alive in Mexico

Aired April 4, 2012 - 20:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.


NANCY GRACE, HOST: Breaking news tonight, live, upscale San Jose area. A 15-year-old cheerleader, loves music, loves to dance, an all- American girl set to leave for the school bus that morning. Mommy sees her 6:00 AM before Mommy goes to work.

Tonight, confirmed, Sierra never makes it to the bus stop or to school, the little cheerleader never seen again, cell phone found thrown in a nearby field less than a mile from her own home. Her belongings, Sierra`s favorite little Juicy couture bag, found abandoned, her favorite top we think she was wearing that morning neatly folded inside the bag. Police sources say the teen snatched sometime between mom leaving for work and Sierra getting on that school bus less than an hour later.

Bombshell tonight, new evidence surfacing that could crack the case. A search team finds an empty box for steel handcuffs, and disturbingly, used condoms, both found near the school bus stop. Tonight, where is missing cheerleader Sierra LaMar?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Every day, we just wonder if she`s OK!

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: Good evening. I`m Nancy Grace. I want to thank you for being with us. Bombshell tonight. Live, upscale San Jose area. A 15-year-old cheerleader, loves music, loves to dance, literally the all-American girl, set to leave for the school bus that morning, never seen again.

Bombshell tonight, new evidence surfacing that could crack the case wide open. A search team finds an empty box for steel handcuffs, and disturbingly, used condoms, both found together near Sierra`s school bus stop.

 ::snipping2::

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Her 15-year-old daughter, Sierra, didn`t make it to school Friday.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She would never want us to go through all this pain.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Search teams have been probing the creeks and fields near the Lamar home.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Investigators are also checking up on 276 registered sex offenders in the area.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: A lot of information has come in. Lot of unconfirmed sightings of Sierra.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Investigators are mining her laptop for recent contacts but Sierra is described as happy, at home in school.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sierra disappeared while on her way to catch a bus to go to Sobrato high school in Morgan Hill.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Reports that nothing has helped out in the case so far.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Come home, baby. Please come home.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

GRACE: The scary scenario with which we are dealing is that mommy sees Sierra, her little girl, there she is, Sierra Lamar, a 15-year-old cheerleader, loves school, all focused on her English paper she was working on. Mom leaves to go to work that morning. She never sees her daughter again. Sometime between the time mommy leaves to go to work and Sierra getting to that bus stop, she is kidnapped. That bus stop within walking distance of the home.

Tonight, is there a crack in the case in the search for the missing cheerleader? A box for steel handcuffs and used condoms found near the bus stop. The school bus stop. This is not a public bus stop. This is a school bus stop.

Straight out to Joe Gomez, senior investigative reporter, KTRH.

Joe, a lot of us caught the public school bus. A lot of us stood at that school bus stop waiting on the yellow bus to arrive. That`s what Sierra intended to do that morning. But, she never showed up. Mommy doesn`t find out until she gets home and finds out Sierra never made it to school.

She races to the school, finds out she never made it to the bus stop. She did not get on that yellow school bus that morning and tonight the crack in the case is used condoms and a box, an empty box that once contained steel handcuffs found near the bus stop.

Weigh in, Joe, what do you know?

JOE GOMEZ, SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER, KTRH: That`s right, Nancy. This is a terrifying new development. Not far from away from the bus top where Sierra possibly would have been kidnapped from, police have uncovered an ominous looking empty box with the words steel handcuffs written on it and near that box, Nancy, near that box two used condoms. Shocking new details here. It`s still unclear if this is related to missing Sierra but if it is, Nancy, my God, what would this mean?

GRACE: Joining me right now is a special guest, Kristi in California who actually has helped in the search for Sierra. Thank you for calling in. Describe what you did in the search for Sierra.

KRISTI, HELPED IN THE SEARCH FOR SIERRA, CALIFORNIA (via telephone): Well, we searched lots of areas up in the mountains. We searched along sides of bodies of water through really large brush and just, you know, looking for any possible clue that we could. We even went door-to-door on some of the searches asking neighbors what, you know if they suspected anybody or knew anybody who could do this. Have they noticed their neighbors, you know, acting differently, changing their appearance and what not.

But, I did have a question regarding, I guess, a legal question about the possibility of a legal ability to search every, you know, property out there. Do -- can they do that? Can they take dogs on the property with, you know, some kind of court order?

GRACE: As a matter of fact, Kristi in California, everyone, with me is one of the searchers who have literally gone door-to-door helping to find information about the missing cheerleader. As a matter of fact, the terrain, very rugged terrain between Morgan Hill and San Jose has been searched by cops. Hundreds of volunteers showing up like Kristi to search for the 15-year-old cheerleader and owners and caretakers of large parcels of land and ranches asked to inspect their land and call police if anything unusual has been found.

Unleash the lawyers on Kristi and her question. Number one, out to you, Mickey Sherman. Large parcel landowners and ranch owners have been asked to search their land and report to police.

Would police need a search warrant to go on land surrounding land parcels, ranches in the area, Mickey Sherman?

MICKEY SHERMAN, AUTHOR, HOW CAN YOU DEFEND THOSE PEOPLE: I think they would. I think they would need probable cause to get a search warrant to do that. By the same token, it seems most of these people are giving their consent to the searches which waives the need or the necessity of a search warrant. But other than that, they would need a warrant.

GRACE: On the other hand, Eleanor Odom, I think Mickey Sherman is correct on the law, but, anything that is in plain view to an individual, to a lay person, is fair game for cops.

Let me give an analogy. If a cop walks by an unattended car and sees crack cocaine, they can immediately go into the car because you see evidence of a crime without a warrant. So anything that a lay person, a civilian, could see, a cop -- that`s open, fair game to a cop.

So regarding large tracts of land and to ranch owners anything that can be seen from the street or from an aerial view is fair game.

But Eleanor, is Mickey Sherman right, and I think he is, that to go beyond what you can see from the naked eye from the street or aerial, you have to have a search warrant for all these farms and ranches.

ELEANOR ODOM, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Yes, Nancy, you do. He is right. You have to have the search warrant unless it`s something that can be easily scene. However, if cops suspect something or the landowner says, hey, no, you`re going to have to have a search warrant, cops can station themselves there to make sure no one comes in and off the property while they are obtaining the search warrant so you can preserve the integrity of that potential scene. So, you have to be real careful about that.

GRACE: And Karla Bell, of course, the ranch owner, parcel owner could always give permission. You don`t have to have a search warrant if they give permission. And I can`t think of any reason these landowners would not give permission in the search, correct?

KARLA BELL, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: That`s correct, Nancy. If you give consent, then the search is completely valid and evidence found during the search would be obtained correctly.

GRACE: To David Lohr, senior crime reporter with the "Huffington Post," let`s go back to the bombshell tonight what we think may be a break in the case.

A box and police sources are telling me it`s a new box, that it`s not been weathered. It hasn`t been sitting out in the rain, in the wind, and the elements. It`s a new cardboard box that contained steel handcuffs and used condoms found very close to the scene. What with about it, David Lohr?

DAVID LOHR, SENIOR CRIME REPORTER HUFFINGTON POST (via telephone): Yes, that`s correct, Nancy. Searchers found that box. It has a sticker right on the side of it that says stainless steel handcuffs. So, when I talked to local law enforcement out there they said this is the type of box that law enforcement handcuffs come in.

I said, well, do you think it`s related to the case? If we didn`t consider this to be possible evidence, we wouldn`t have taken it. So it`s something they`re looking into very seriously and it could be a major break in this case.

GRACE: And Matt Zarrell, we`ve learned a little bit more about the school bus stop, what do you know, Matt Zarrell?

MATT ZARRELL, NANCY GRACE PRODUCER: Yes, Nancy. There are some former FBI profiles who are suggesting that even though Sierra was alone at this bus stop typically, recently up until the likely abduction, months before that if she had other people going with her at the bus stop, there could have been the perp - could have been watching. And as soon as it`s window down, there were three people at the about bus stop too and then Sierra was alone at the bus stop, that could have made her a very vulnerable target.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sierra`s disappearance is totally out of character.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I was concerned and I called one of her school friends. She said that she didn`t see Sierra that day. I also looked in her room. Saw her phone charger in her room. She always brings her phone charger in.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: That`s better.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: And I gave her a big hug.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sierra Lamar is missing.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: High school cheerleader --

MARLENE LAMAR, MOTHER OF SIERRA LAMAR: The 7:11 and tried to catch the bus, usually leave the house at 7:15 and catches the bus at 7:25. And we don`t know what happened after that. I do know that I received an e- mail at 6:00 from Sobrada high school stating that she was not in attendance, but I got suspicious because I usually text her before I leave for work to see if she`s OK because she`ll be home by usually 4:00, 4:15, and I just check in with her and tried multiple times, four times.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

GRACE: Right now we are joined by Marlene Lamar. This is Sierra`s mother. Miss Lamar, thank you for being with us.

LAMAR (via telephone): You`re welcome. I`m glad to be present to give this interview.

GRACE: Everyone, the tip line 408-808-4331. With me is Sierra`s mother.

Miss Lamar, what are police telling you tonight?

LAMAR: Just that, you know, I`m aware of the box and the contents that was presented earlier on your show. I`m also aware they`re in the lab as far as trying to reach, you know, any conclusive evidence. I haven`t been notified as far as there being any, you know, link to the case directly.

GRACE: With me is Sierra`s mother, Marlene Lamar.

Miss Lamar, police sources are saying the condoms discovered near the school bus stop were, in fact, used. Have police asked you for any item from the home from which they could get Sierra`s DNA, such as her toothbrush or hair brush?

Yes. The investigators came with people who retrieve DNA from, you know, the immediate family members.

GRACE: I`m sure that they took -- got your DNA, did they, Miss Lamar?

LAMAR: Yes, they did.

GRACE: And from that they could get mitochondrial DNA match which only comes through your mother`s genetic makeup. Did they take a toothbrush or hair brush or anything belonging to Sierra?

LAMAR: Yes, yes, they took the hair from her hair brush and her toothbrush.

GRACE: To Dr. Gwenn O`Keeffe, physician and founder and CEO of pediatricsnow.com, joining us out of the Boston jurisdiction. Dr. O`Keeffe, thanks for being with us.

Dr. O`Keeffe, if these condoms were connected to the case you would expect to find not only the perpetrator`s DNA through semen on one side of the condom but possibly Sierra`s DNA on the other side of the condom, yes/no?

DOCTOR GWENN O`KEEFFE, PHYSICIAN, FOUNDER, CEO, PEDIATRICSNOW.COM: YES, that`s correct, Nancy. They`d find both two different - two distinct DNAs. They would find Sierra`s as well as the perpetrators.

GRACE: Dr. O`Keeffe, when you are looking at a used condom such as the one we believe to have been found near Sierra`s bus stop, how much of the victim`s DNA would be on the outside of the condom? How much do you need to make a positive DNA match?

O`KEEFFE: You know, it turns out you don`t need that much, Nancy, just -- they call it touch DNA, you know. If you just touch something, just a little bit of skin cells is really enough. So if she was -- had any contact with that condom that would be enough to extract some DNA and make a match.

GRACE: Back to Sierra`s mother, Marlene Lamar, is with us and taking your calls tonight.

Miss Lamar, I know that she either tweeted or texted a picture of herself that morning right around the time that you left the home. I also know that one of her shirts was found neatly folded up inside of her juicy couture bag. You told me before it was like a pocketbook, but she kind of used it as a book bag, she would put everything in it.

LAMAR: That`s correct.

GRACE: Do you know what shirt it was that was found in the bag?

LAMAR: Yes, I do, but I don`t want to say what it was exactly. Because I don`t want to interfere with the investigation.

GRACE: To Matt Zarrell, our sources tell us it`s the same shirt she tweeted or texted that morning, is that correct, Matt Zarrell?

ZARRELL: What police are saying the shirt in the photo is very similar and resembles the shirt that was found in the purse, but, Nancy, police do not know when that photo was taken. The photo could have been taken a week or two weeks earlier. They don`t know if she took the photo that morning and then left to go to the school bus and was then abducted.

GRACE: OK. Let`s see the shot that she texted or tweeted, Matt Zarrell.

ZARRELL: Posted on her twitter account the morning of her disappearance.

GRACE: OK. Let`s see that photo and could you please take down all of our writing over it so I can look at the picture, please, Dana, quickly. There you go. What am I seeing? I`m seeing a dark black shirt, it appears to me, it also looks like she may have on a jacket or maybe a hoodie over that.

Matt, what`s the description on that? Do you know, Matt Zarrell, the description on that shirt?

ZARRELL: Yes. We believe the logo you are seeing on that photo is a San Jose Sharks logo that you are seeing on your screen now similar of a sweatshirt.

GRACE: Yes. Now that you`re telling me that, I see it. Yes, now that you`re telling me that, you`re absolutely right. I see it. I see it now.

To Brad Barker, kidnapping expert and president of Halo Corporation, joining us out of San Diego.

Brad, I want to thank you for being with us. What is your analysis of this, Brad Barker?

BRAD BARKER, KIDNAPPING EXPERT, PRESIDENT, HALO CORPORATION: Sure. My question for Miss Lamar would be, is it typical behavior for Sierra to be packing a bag with extra clothing and that sort of thing for cheerleading practice for changing clothes, that sort of thing? That might indicate behavioral recognition pattern that might be a deviation from the norm which could be a clue as well.

LAMAR: Well, she would --

GRACE: Miss Lamar?

LAMAR: Yes. She would borrow things frequently from her friends, and her friends would borrow her clothes as well. And my daughter, as far as packing a suitcase, * was usually packed in a neat fashion.

(*NOTE:  I went back and listened to this part of the show again, and Marlene Lamar says "as far as packing a suitcase, nothing is usually packed in a neat fashion)

BARKER: Thank you very much.

GRACE: Yes. You know, Mr. Barker, all that was found was her juicy couture bag, which was a pocketbook for her. She would sometimes put other things in it. But it was not a bag such as an overnight bag. It was not a suitcase. It was not a backpack. And clothing was not really pack. There was one shirt in there neatly folded up. But nothing to suggest she had packed to leave.

To Dr. Leslie Seppinni, clinical psychologist and author, weigh in, Leslie.

DOCTOR LESLIE SEPPINNI, CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST: Well, you know, I think the evidence is very telling because it tells us the story of what happened. You know, the evidence has been strewn around. That`s very important when you see that. So, it tells us, a, she was taken, b, she might have been raped on the way, and, c, this person may have had her actually change shirts while in the car with him.

GRACE: Everyone, we are taking your calls.

Is there a break in the case of miss in missing teen cheer leader, Sierra Lamar?

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: 15-year-old Sierra Lamar has not been seen since she left her house in incorporated Morgan Hills for this school bus stop at this intersection.

LAMAR: Leaves the house at 7:15 and catches the bus at 7:25.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She never boarded the bus.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

GRACE: To Marc Klaas, president, founder of KlaasKids Foundation. Police sources telling us tonight, they believe it may be an acquaintance kidnap. Why?

MARC KLAAS, PRESIDENT, FOUNDER, KLAASKIDS FOUNDATION: Well, because the trail for Sierra ends at the end of the driveway. And it`s thought, and I agree with this, that she quite possibly could have gotten into a car with somebody that she felt comfortable getting into a car with. And if one is aware of the circumstances or growing where she lives, it`s a very remote place. If you don`t have business being in that neighborhood, you`re absolutely not going to be in that neighborhood.

GRACE: Eleanor Odom, Mickey Sherman, Karla Bell. What about it, Mickey?

SHERMAN: One thing that I heard mentioned though, it bothers me just a bit is the police are looking at all the registered sex offenders. I`m not saying they shouldn`t do that. But sometimes the police become myopic and think that`s where the answer is going to lies. I just hope they are keeping all the possible doors of interrogation and investigation open and not just looking at people who have been lucky, have a yellow card for life and they`re targets.

GRACE: Eleanor.

ODOM: Well, I agree with Mickey. But you have to start somewhere. And looking at registered sex offender is good place to start and that might lead you somewhere else.

GRACE: Karla Bell.

BELL: I would agree that search starting with sex offenders is a good place to start, particularly since her father apparently was a registered sex offender as well. However, I would say about the condoms in this case seem to -- I have issue with them.

GRACE: Wait. Let me point out, he lived 45 minutes away and has been cooperating with the investigation. I don`t want to just slow out the bio dad is a registered sex offender.

CW Jensen?

CW JENSEN, RETIRED PORTLAND POLICE CAPTAIN: This is a pyramid. You have this huge base and you have to keep going up and getting rid of things you can corroborate. You still have to have a multifaceted investigation.

GRACE: Everyone, tip line 408-808-4431.

A box of steel heavies for steel handcuffs and used condoms was found near the school bus stop where this little girl was headed this morning the last time she was seen alive in the space of her mom leaving for work and she goes to the bus stop, she disappears.

The more that I read about the neatly folded clothes, the more I am creeped out.  Especially after texasmom bolded below where Sierra's mom states that Sierra didn't neatly pack typically.  It screams out serial killer type of story to me...one that leaves a message behind.  I mean who would take the time out after a killing to neatly fold clothes and likely gently toss them out of the car.  Plus, how did he have time to do all of this and without anyone seeing anything?  I would check out people in her own neighborhood.

Sierra LaMar Expands, Adds QR Code
Thursday, Apr 5, 2012


The search for Sierra Lamar is heading outside of Morgan Hill -- and is now incorporating QR codes.

At 9 a.m. today, the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office will start canvassing areas in San Martin and Gilroy. About 20 members of the department's search and rescue unit will join three canine units, trained in detecting human remains. People have telephoned and emailed more than 1,000 tips since the 15-year-old girl disappeared on March 14.

Another way to collect and disseminate information in the search for the Morgan Hill teen is the use of a QR code -- a scannable graphic that links to an existing website.

Investigators haven't said why they're looking south of Morgan Hill -- whether it's because of one of those tips, a piece of evidence or just a natural extension of the search area.

LaMar's mother and father won't be participating in any more searches for their daughter. The Sheriff's Office has advised against this, to protect them from the trauma of being the ones who'd possibly find their child.

Sierra LaMar: Police Hope App Will Help Find Missing Teen
Apr. 5 2012 at 8:17 AM


Police are desperate to find 15-year-old Sierra LaMar so much so that they have issued a "QR" code, which allows anyone with a smartphone to download information about the missing teen.

The code has been released on missing posters of LaMar, making all information about LaMar and the circumstances of her disappearance portable.

Here's how it works:

Make sure your smartphone is equipped with a free QR code app, then point the phone's camera at the image on the poster you see and it will link you directly to a website with more photos of LaMar, information, and hotline phone numbers to call.

Once a QR Code (short for quick response) is created, it can be directed to a Leafs, vCards, Youtube video's, URL's, Facebook, or can downloads files.   

So if you come across a Sierra LaMar poster with w QR Code here's what information you can quickly get on your phone: http://uqr.me/missing-sierra-lamar.

QR codes on posters have become the new milk cartons for missing children. It means people can access the information online easier and share it amongst their friends and family faster, with the hope that LaMar can be found as quickly as possible.

Search for Sierra LaMar Using QR Codes
Codes Allow People to Scan and Report Tips
Thursday, Apr 5, 2012


Detectives are using a different approach to get the public involved in the search for missing children, like Morgan Hill teen Sierra LaMar.

San Jose-based Child Quest International has created "QR codes" that put missing child posters in your smartphone. The small, black-and-white squares are printed on posters that are hung, so when people pass it, they can scan the code with standard QR-code app on their smartphone. The code leads them to a website with more photos of the missing child, and the number for a hotline to report any tips.

Stephen Watkins, a Toronto man who works with Child Quest came up with the idea to put QR codes on missing child posters. He tells the Mercury News he got the idea when he was a a Walmart and noticed customers passing missing child posters, glancing briefly and moving on. The QR code makes it possible for you to essentially carry that poster with you, so if you see a missing child, you can report it immediately.

Update: Crews Deploy in San Martin Area in Sierra Lamar Search
By: Brian Shields - Thu, 05 Apr 2012 14:11:02 -0800

MORGAN HILL (KRON) -- Santa Clara County Search and rescue crews are scouring creek beds and vacant buildings in San Martin Thursday in hopes of learning about what happened to missing teenager Sierra Lamar.

KRON 4's Rob Fladeboe is watching as the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue Unit is deploying about 20 searchers along with three human remains detection canines for the effort.  Later other searchers will check out locations in the Gilroy area.

It's been nearly three weeks since the 15-year old was last seen leaving home for school on March 16th.  Investigators now say they're going on the assumption the girl is the victim of foul play.

Investigators say they continue to monitor a tip line in the case around the clock.  More than 1,000 tips have come in via both phone calls and e-mails.  Detectives say they follow up on all of them.

It would be interest to know why this search has extended to the San Martin area ... an area 4 miles from Morgan Hill.  It appears that that these searches are akin to looking for that proverbial need in a haystack.  Maybe not.

Does the elusive Rick Gardiner have any property and/or a business connection to San Martin.  According to the location and dates shown on his business license ... Rick has a history in the area.

My sister-in-law was talking last with her DIL who resides in the San Jose area.  Rumor has it that there may be a break in the case soon.  I have been anticipating all day.  Nothing.  Somehow ... I do not believe that Sierra was abducted or ran away.  I could be wrong.

A POSSIBLE SCENARIO - MARLENE LAMAR - RICK GARDINER

When Sierra's angry tweets in the late afternoon of March 15th are considered ...

1.  Sometime prior to the dawning of March 16th ... an out-of-control confrontation ends in the demise of Sierra.
 
2. Out of a misguided/warped sense of love for the other ... a cover up is frantically fabricated/ staged by Marlene and Rick ... a cover up that will indicate that Sierra has been kidnapped while on her way to catch the school bus.
 
4.  A deceased Sierra is placed in Rick's vehicle.

5.  Marlene neatly packs Sierra's Juicy bag.

6.  Marlene leaves the residence at 6:00 AM for work thus establishing an alibi.
 
7.  Back at the residence ... Rick sends an "image" tweet at 6:29 AM and ... a text at 7:11 AM giving the impression that Sierra is the originator and ... she is alive and well.
 
8.  Rick is unaware that the the San Jose shirt Sierra is wearing in the undated tweeted image is the same as the one that Marlene had neatly packed in the Juicy bag.
 
9.  Rick leaves the home and plants Seirra's cell phone and Juicy bag to further the collaborated kidnapping scenario and ... then proceed his place of work (?) to establish an alibi.
 
10.  Sometime throughout the day ... the disappearing of Sierra happens.
 
Bottom Line.  In the process of eliminatiion ... in the pursuit of truth ... in the Sierra Lamar case were specially trained canine units used by investigators to search the respective vehicles/ residences/ properties connected to Marlene Lamar and Rick Gardiner?  Did both Marlene and the elusive Rick submit to and pass polygraphs?  Were investigators able to determine what motivated Sierra's anger in her tweets of March 15th?

Janet: Respectfully, and you know that I do respect you, but blaming the mom and bf for this? It's just way out there IMO. Sierra's mom is grieving. Both parties have been cleared. That's the bottom line.

Sierra was most likely taken by someone she probably knew, but I don't believe for one moment that her mom had anything to do with this. IMO, I think it's cruel to even suggest it. Just saying....

More than 1,000 tips; Sierra still missing

Posted: Thursday, April 5, 2012 6:47 pm

by Michael Moore

Sierra LaMar is still missing, authorities are still searching for her or any evidence that might lead to her, and the county crime lab is still processing what little evidence has been found so far in relation to her disappearance.

As of Thursday, more than 6,000 personnel hours have been dedicated to the case of the missing Morgan Hill 15-year-old by investigators and detectives from a number of different agencies, according to Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Sgt. Jose Cardoza.

Investigators have followed up on more than 1,000 tips received by e-mail and phone, and the Sierra LaMar tip line continues to be staffed 24 hours a day, he added.

On Thursday, about 20 members of the sheriff’s search-and-rescue teams searched in San Martin and Gilroy for Sierra or her remains – no one knows if she is dead or alive – and any other evidence that might lead to her whereabouts.

It was the farthest south the search had expanded since Sierra was reported missing March 16. Detectives think Sierra was kidnapped or picked up just outside her home in north Morgan Hill, near the intersection of Palm and Dougherty avenues. Previous searches have focused on a progressively expanding radius around the home.

A resident who lives around the corner from Sierra’s home, where she lives with her mother Marlene LaMar and mother’s boyfriend Rick Gardiner, said FBI and sheriff’s investigators searched his home twice within the first couple weeks after Sierra was reported missing.

Robert Pearman, a resident of Lantz Drive, said the authorities searched his neighbors’ homes as well. At his house, they even searched his daughter’s tree house, and looked inside closets and under beds. “It was like something you’d see in a Lifetime movie,” Pearman said.
They also set up traffic checkpoints at select times at Palm and Dougherty and Palm and Lantz, he said.

With two daughters of his own, Pearman said he readily allowed the authorities to search his property.

“If it was my daughter, I would want them to check all my neighbors too,” Pearman said. The fact that authorities seem to have so few leads is discouraging to Pearman and his neighbors, he said.

“It seems like she just vanished, which is really scary,” he said. “I sure hope to God they find something.”

Deputies Thursday scoured areas along San Martin Avenue, Llagas Avenue and other spots in unincorporated South County. Those searches employed three human remains detection dogs, Cardoza said.

Meanwhile, the county crime lab is treating Sierra’s belongings and other evidence collected so far that might be related to the case as a “top priority,” according to spokeswoman Lisa McCrary.

 ::snipping2::

“The case is a top priority for the lab,” McCrary said. “They’re working on it daily during the week, on the weekends, and some evenings to expedite the work.”

Sierra LaMar: Anatomy of a Search - New Beginnings

The KlaasKids Foundation is organizing more volunteer searches for Sierra LaMar, the 15-year-old missing teenager from Morgan Hill, California, on Saturday, April 7, 2012, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. PDT, and on Wednesday, April 11, 2012, from 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. PDT.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith and his wife Elizabeth will participate in Saturday’s search, as well as other 49ers players.

Volunteers are being asked to report to the Find Sierra Search Center, located at Burnett Elementary School at 85 Tilton Road in Morgan Hill.  Volunteers must be at least 18 years old, and must register -- with photo identification -- at the search center.  “Dress appropriately for the weather, wear long pants and sturdy, covered toe shoes. We need people who can do foot searches as well as individuals who are willing to work in the Find Sierra Search Center. We are also looking for donations of food and office supplies.

Anyone not intending to volunteer with the search for Sierra is highly discouraged from attending, and will be denied access to the site.

SAN MARTIN, Calif. -- Search Expanded for Sierra LaMar. Deputies expand search for Sierra LaMar to San Martin and Gilroy. Thursday's search started near the San Martin Substation and spread several miles to Gilroy.

There were 7 search teams, each with 15 deputies. They carefully made their way south 12 miles pulling over on side streets hoping to find more evidence that could answer questions about Sierra LaMar's disappearance.

Deputies also searched backyards with plenty of open fields.Neighbors were also told to be aware of any suspicious material in their yards.

 ::snipping2::

Right now deputies don't have any more searches planned.

From one of yesterday's news articles...

http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Sierra-LaMar-Search-Expands-146266095.html

 ::snipping2::

LaMar's mother and father won't be participating in any more searches for their daughter. The Sheriff's Office has advised against this, to protect them from the trauma of being the ones who'd possibly find their child.

Investigators are working on the theory that someone abducted the 15-year-old before she went to school.

Her father, Steve, realizes this a strong possibility but holds out some hope that this nightmare has a happy ending.

"The dream sequence would be Sierra walks in the front door and says 'Mom, Dad, I made a mistake and took off. Sorry to put you through this.' That's the dream scenario."

This morning Steve Lamar returns to his job at Silicon Valley startup for the first time since his daughter disappeared.

My 14 year old grandson was recently afforded the privilege of a Facebook account with established boundaries.  Within two weeks it was obvious to my daughter and SIL that their son was manipulating those boundaries.  The outcome?  No Facebook until his 15th birthday.  This young man is far from a bad kid but ... he is a normal teenager who will attempt to take a foot if he is given an inch.  Hey ... he even had a heart to heart with Mama and Papa ... attempting to get us to talk his Mom and Dad into reconsidering.  Nice try.

Janet-thank you for keeping such an awesome log of articles and things that have happened so far with this case. it makes it easier for me and i'm sure other when I log in and can easily see some of what i've missed in an articulate manner.  although I do not believe sierra's mother or step father had anything to do with her disappearance, i do appreciate the way you always present your thoughts/opinion/ideas

I think she was picked up by someone she knows, maybe not well, but someone she recognized, and offered a ride to school or the bus stop..I think the person kept driving and things went terribly wrong from there.  I believe her remains will be found within a 10 mile radius of her home but this is just based on statistics

Search for Sierra Lamar to Continue Saturday
Alex Smith and several 49ers will join the search for the missing girl.

By Bob Redell
|  Friday, Apr 6, 2012  |  Updated 7:49 AM PDT

 ::snipping2::
It doesn't appear anything of significance came out of Thursday's effort. Outside of Lamar's cell phone, purse and clothes found early on, investigators still don't have any clues as to her whereabouts.

Nor do they have a person of interest. You'd think investigators would be frustrated.

"Frustrated is not a word we're using," Jose Cardoza with the Santa Clara Sheriff's Office said. "Our primary goal is to bring her home safely and alive."

The Klaaskids Foundation is trying to make that happen. Saturday the non-profit organization will coordinate another volunteer search out of Burnett Elementary School, located at 85 Tilton Ave. in Morgan Hill.

Registration is between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.  You must be at least 18-years-old to volunteer. Dress for the elements, for example long pants, sturdy shoes, etc.,

49ers QB Alex Smith has said he, along with some of his teammates, will participate in Saturday's search.

This will be the second time Smith has helped looked for Lamar.

The tweets bothered me, too, but I don't believe she was writing them about her mother or stepfather.  I thought they were probably written about something going on at school or with another young person.

Clearly she was having a conflict of some sort and I'm sure LE have investigated and questioned whomever the conflict was with and their associates.

Are RSO photo's posted in California schools? 


Is her fathers photo, posted in her present school, or in her last school?

I would not be like to live in the middle of nowhere, if I were Sierra.

Did kids or fellow students, tease or mess with her, because her Dad is a RSO?

Her language on the computer is raunchy. :(

My youngest son and his wife are middle school teachers in the public school system in our community.  This year they respectively have a Grade six and Grade seven classroom in respective schools.  For the most part ... there are no displinary issues.  However ... although "the look" from their teacher or a "time out" in the hallway/principal's office will cause students to reflect momentarily ... the F word is a common adjective and a common expression.

In Sierra's tweets ... it is the underlying message of rage/disrespect/drug use, etc. that concerns me to what may be happening behind the scenes in regards to family dynamics..

Are RSO photo's posted in California schools? 


Is her fathers photo, posted in her present school, or in her last school?

I would not be like to live in the middle of nowhere, if I were Sierra.

Did kids or fellow students, tease or mess with her, because her Dad is a RSO?

Her language on the computer is raunchy. :(

I don't recall ever seeing RSO pictures posted in schools here, but maybe they are there?

I have seen notices in the local paper if an RSO moves into the area though, and I do know that local LE often notifies the school of any new RSO in the area.

Not knowing how much press coverage if any there was at the time of Steve Lamar's court case, even if his status wasn't known in Sierra's school prior to her going there, maybe that information had been shared with some and she was being talked about and/or teased about it by some of her peers?

 Sheriff won't give out any information about the case. No one knows where Rick works or what time he clocked in except for Marc Klaas:

 Marc Klaas knows Rick & Steve both took polygraphs and passed.

I think the above is Rick's work info.  He's a contractor, he may not even have an office or "punch a clock" of any kind.  Since his work address is a PO Box, and he has no employees I think he could possibly work from home.  "Going to work" if he doesn't have an office that he works from on a regular basis, could mean going to a construction site...meeting with prospective customers...or even going to a local cafe for coffee in the morning as that's where a lot of contractor's meet and talk with subcontractor's.

A POSSIBLE SCENARIO - MARLENE LAMAR - RICK GARDINER

When Sierra's angry tweets in the late afternoon of March 15th are considered ...

1.  Sometime prior to the dawning of March 16th ... an out-of-control confrontation ends in the demise of Sierra.
 
2. Out of a misguided/warped sense of love for the other ... a cover up is frantically fabricated/ staged by Marlene and Rick ... a cover up that will indicate that Sierra has been kidnapped while on her way to catch the school bus.
 
4.  A deceased Sierra is placed in Rick's vehicle.

5.  Marlene neatly packs Sierra's Juicy bag.

6.  Marlene leaves the residence at 6:00 AM for work thus establishing an alibi.
 
7.  Back at the residence ... Rick sends an "image" tweet at 6:29 AM and ... a text at 7:11 AM giving the impression that Sierra is the originator and ... she is alive and well.
 
8.  Rick is unaware that the the San Jose shirt Sierra is wearing in the undated tweeted image is the same as the one that Marlene had neatly packed in the Juicy bag.
 
9.  Rick leaves the home and plants Seirra's cell phone and Juicy bag to further the collaborated kidnapping scenario and ... then proceed his place of work (?) to establish an alibi.
 
10.  Sometime throughout the day ... the disappearing of Sierra happens.
 
Bottom Line.  In the process of eliminatiion ... in the pursuit of truth ... in the Sierra Lamar case were specially trained canine units used by investigators to search the respective vehicles/ residences/ properties connected to Marlene Lamar and Rick Gardiner?  Did both Marlene and the elusive Rick submit to and pass polygraphs?  Were investigators able to determine what motivated Sierra's anger in her tweets of March 15th?

IMO

Janet: Respectfully, and you know that I do respect you, but blaming the mom and bf for this? It's just way out there IMO. Sierra's mom is grieving. Both parties have been cleared. That's the bottom line.

Sierra was most likely taken by someone she probably knew, but I don't believe for one moment that her mom had anything to do with this. IMO, I think it's cruel to even suggest it. Just saying....
I agree Sassifras! I also heard they took lie detector tests and passed! I think it was someone she DIDN"T know...someone that passed her on their way to work!

Janet-thank you for keeping such an awesome log of articles and things that have happened so far with this case. it makes it easier for me and i'm sure other when I log in and can easily see some of what i've missed in an articulate manner.  although I do not believe sierra's mother or step father had anything to do with her disappearance, i do appreciate the way you always present your thoughts/opinion/ideas

I think she was picked up by someone she knows, maybe not well, but someone she recognized, and offered a ride to school or the bus stop..I think the person kept driving and things went terribly wrong from there.  I believe her remains will be found within a 10 mile radius of her home but this is just based on statistics

I find it interesting that quite a few people believe someone she possibly knows may have took her...Are they basing it on the dogs losing her scent in front of her house? It was rainy and windy the days following...has anyone thought that she could have walked further and that the weather has prevented the dogs from picking up a scent?

I too am boggled! If he has been cleared...why is she so defensive? And I heard her say...he left before her, then he left after her, then again she said he left before her!

Hey Kristi:

I'm pretty good friends with a SAR person. The rain absolutely will not prevent the dogs from following the scent. SAR dogs can actually get a scent in water, ie: lakes, ponds, etc. Weather does not play in the objective.

Nancy asked Sheriff Laurie Smith straight up...

Sheriff, explain to me what is the issue with the live in boyfriend?

Sheriff Laurie Smith responded:  We've talked with him, we're continuing the investigation.  Until Sierra is home safely, we're not eliminating anybody and any new information that we get or any new suspicions we get we will absolutely totally follow up.

When Nancy asked her if he reported to work on time that morning, she said "we just can't release information or evidence about the case and we really can't comment on that."

So...that tells me that even though he has not been named as a suspect; he has not necessarily been cleared either.  JMHO

It could be that his whereabouts that morning are not as easy to pin down as others because of his line of work.  And even IF he has absolutely nothing to do with this crime, unless his whereabouts can be absolutely confirmed there's the possibility that he was available to commit the crime.  So, I'm sure that leaves questions with LE...as it does with me.

Also, fwiw, just as a side note, a human scent can be found to a period of one year. If they are a good SAR person, they can track a person even if they were in a vehicle.

I have been on several searches...the last search I participated in was on Sunday. I've seen the area...and I personally believe that whoever may have taken her most likely passed her on a daily basis, seeing HER on THEIR way to work...I believe this person either lives within a mile of her...or works within a mile of her...there would be no other, IMO, explainable reason for someone to be on Palm that early in the morning!

Janet-thank you for keeping such an awesome log of articles and things that have happened so far with this case. it makes it easier for me and i'm sure other when I log in and can easily see some of what i've missed in an articulate manner.  although I do not believe sierra's mother or step father had anything to do with her disappearance, i do appreciate the way you always present your thoughts/opinion/ideas

I think she was picked up by someone she knows, maybe not well, but someone she recognized, and offered a ride to school or the bus stop..I think the person kept driving and things went terribly wrong from there.  I believe her remains will be found within a 10 mile radius of her home but this is just based on statistics
I wondered about that...but I did hear Marc Klaas say that the dogs lost her scent at the door not the end of the driveway and he too pointed out the weather! She lived there...walked that way to school everyday...then why would her scent stop at the house?

I find it interesting that quite a few people believe someone she possibly knows may have took her...Are they basing it on the dogs losing her scent in front of her house? It was rainy and windy the days following...has anyone thought that she could have walked further and that the weather has prevented the dogs from picking up a scent?

Hey Kristi:

I'm pretty good friends with a SAR person. The rain absolutely will not prevent the dogs from following the scent. SAR dogs can actually get a scent in water, ie: lakes, ponds, etc. Weather does not play in the objective.

IMO, Marlene may have been instructed by LE and/or the FBI not to discuss certain things just as the Sheriff was not willing to discuss certain things.

That is a total possibility, but why? If Rick is not a suspect by LE, why the mumming? Don't get me wrong, I don't think he had anything to do with Sierra going *poof* but I don't understand her silence in regards to Rick. It's possible she is just trying to keep the focus on Sierra and that would be totally understandable IMO.

Nancy asked Sheriff Laurie Smith straight up...

Sheriff, explain to me what is the issue with the live in boyfriend?

Sheriff Laurie Smith responded:  We've talked with him, we're continuing the investigation.  Until Sierra is home safely, we're not eliminating anybody and any new information that we get or any new suspicions we get we will absolutely totally follow up.

When Nancy asked her if he reported to work on time that morning, she said "we just can't release information or evidence about the case and we really can't comment on that."

So...that tells me that even though he has not been named as a suspect; he has not necessarily been cleared either.  JMHO

It could be that his whereabouts that morning are not as easy to pin down as others because of his line of work.  And even IF he has absolutely nothing to do with this crime, unless his whereabouts can be absolutely confirmed there's the possibility that he was available to commit the crime.  So, I'm sure that leaves questions with LE...as it does with me.


Oh boy. That is something I didn't want to hear.

Why are they being so evasive? I know that people that have construction companies can be all over the place.

This is my thought.....even though Sierras mom is being mum about Rick, do you think that as her mom, that if she thought he had anything to do with this, she would be protecting him? I just can't see that.

No worries, we all do that one time or another!  ::MonkeyHaHa::

So the media says at the end of the driveway and Marc says at the door. Then you look at the fact she left her inhaler at home. So what this tell us?

I'm curious if the gate at the end of the driveway was a "locked" gate. Does anyone know?

I don't see that either sassifras.  I really think she repeatedly states that she wants to keep the focus on Sierra because that's what she's been told to do.  The Sheriff's responses regarding Rick confirm that for me.  I don't believe she had anything to do with whatever happened to Sierra, and I think the mere possibility that her live in boyfriend may have had something to do with it is more than she can handle.  She won't let herself go there, or hasn't yet anyway.  I don't think she's protecting him, if there was anything going on that led to this; I don't think she had any idea...and will be totally devastated if that is what has happened.

No one that was on Nancy Grace could say where Rick works, Mark Klaas said he knows what kind of work he does but he didn't know where he works either.  So as we've said earlier, I don't think he has an office, I think he works out of the home.

I'm not going to go back and listen again but it iirc the Sheriff also said she knew the scent had her coming out of the door but she wasn't sure how much further it went...

Do you think perhaps someone showed up at her home to give her a drive to school? I noted that in her tweets that she stated she hated to walk but ironically, she loved to run.

I think if they did, and it was someone other than those that lived there some communication would have been made about it beforehand either a text, a call...something.

But if Rick came back and offered to take her either to the bus stop or on to school...?

Don't know if it was raining at that time or if the rain came later in the day...

Aren't they trained for "new scent" and "older scent"?  Those may not be the terms they use, but it seems like I've read something about that before in another case.

So...looking at google maps...it seems as though the only structure or building that look as though it has cactus near it...and we came across lot of cactus on our searches in Morgan hill...is actually on the north side of Laguna Ave./Fisher Rd. east of Santa Teresa. That was where the sheriff stated her bag was found. Not on Santa Teresa like originally stated!

GRACE: Joining me right now is a special guest, Kristi in California who actually has helped in the search for Sierra. Thank you for calling in. Describe what you did in the search for Sierra.

KRISTI, HELPED IN THE SEARCH FOR SIERRA, CALIFORNIA (via telephone): Well, we searched lots of areas up in the mountains. We searched along sides of bodies of water through really large brush and just, you know, looking for any possible clue that we could. We even went door-to-door on some of the searches asking neighbors what, you know if they suspected anybody or knew anybody who could do this. Have they noticed their neighbors, you know, acting differently, changing their appearance and what not.

But, I did have a question regarding, I guess, a legal question about the possibility of a legal ability to search every, you know, property out there. Do -- can they do that? Can they take dogs on the property with, you know, some kind of court order?


Hey, that's me! ::MonkeyCool::

Actually partially right. I did a lot of researching with the Kyron case and talked to quite a few people that knows their chit with this subject.

A SAR dog can pick up "fresh" scents, and that's what they hone on with a "scent article", ie: socks, bedding, etc. It has to be something current. Either way, the bottom line is the dogs will go towards the freshest scent.

There are 2 types of SAR dogs and I'll say this in laymen's terms; one for a live body and one that searches for a bodies remains. They are 2 different search dogs. With Sierra, they were looking for a "live" body.

Also, if the trainer is good, and I mean really good, they can track a person even if they went in a vehicle.

Another thing that stood out to me that Nancy Grace sort of said in passing...was that apparently Rick may have had other things to do when searches were going on. 

That reminded me of reading about one of the vigils for Sierra, it was stated that Marlene was there but Rick couldn't make it.  This was after the one that I'd posted pictures of him attending with Marlene and his daughter Ashley.


kristipartyof5, if you're still here...when you went to search were Sierra's parents at the search center?  Was Rick Gardiner there?  TIA

So...looking at google maps...it seems as though the only structure or building that look as though it has cactus near it...and we came across lot of cactus on our searches in Morgan hill...is actually on the north side of Laguna Ave./Fisher Rd. east of Santa Teresa. That was where the sheriff stated her bag was found. Not on Santa Teresa like originally stated!

From Google maps, not sure but I think this may be the same building...if it is the same building it has grown up a lot around it, but look at the paint on the building...

The green marker (B) is at the corner of Santa Teresa/Hale and Laguna/Fisher, the red arrow points to the building I'm trying to get a closeup shot of

Still on my first cup.  I don't see what you're talking about (bbm)...still looking.  ::MonkeyHaHa::

I think the google maps are pretty old too, judging by other maps that I've looked at in this case.  Someone said in another forum they thought maybe up to four years old.  There is a better one that I can't remember the name of now.  It was one I hadn't used before but you could follow the road and look around.  I could have done that on the google map too if I'd had a specific address on that road to put in I guess... 

I'm just not real good with the map thing, but I do TRY.   :2doh: :-?

GRACE: OK. Got it. Back to Marlene LaMar. That morning, was there anyone else in the home other than you and Sierra?

LAMAR: No, no.

<snipped>

GRACE: To Marlene Lamar, this is Sierra`s mom. Now, you have a boyfriend. Does he live in the home?

MARLENE LAMAR, SIERRA LAMAR`S MOTHER (via telephone): Yes, and he`s been cleared as a suspect. And so I just want to focus on her search and, you know, continue the questioning. You know, I just want to say that. He`s been cleared as a suspected.

GRACE: I`m glad to know that. As a matter of fact, I already knew that and had not planned to ask you any questions regarding him as a suspect. But since you have now brought it up, Miss Lamar, you told me no one else was in the home that morning. Where was he?

LAMAR: He -- he left before me. That morning.

GRACE: So he was in the home that morning?

LAMAR: Yes. But he had left before me.

GRACE: OK. Because you earlier told me no one else was in the home but you and sierra.

LAMAR: Well, he left. I`m sorry. I`m still in shock by everything I heard on your show. But he left after me. So the sheriffs know all the information.

<snipped>

GRACE: Back to Marlene Lamar. Did the boyfriend leave the home before or after you?

LAMAR: He left before me. He left before me.

GRACE: And he was gone, what, to work?

LAMAR: Yes, so me and Sierra were alone in the house, because he did leave before me. And he`s not --

GRACE: OK, and he logged into work on time, correct?

LAMAR: He`s cleared. And I just think it`s wrong to talk about this when we need to talk about, you know, the real situation of where --

<snipped>

GRACE: OK, Miss Lamar, I`m sure that you just heard Marc Klaas state, as did I, that police look first at family, friends, acquaintances, neighbors, delivery people. And what viewers are trying to help find Sierra. So when they have questions of this nature. I`m sure that there are innocent answers.

LAMAR: Yes. I know that`s part of this.

GRACE: I`m concerned at you being so defensive about it. If he left that morning and went to work. Great. But by you continually throwing up roadblocks, that`s what is causing the problem.

LAMAR: No, I`m not. I want to find -- we both want to find my daughter.

GRACE: You stated, Sheriff Smith, that you found her school books. Were they in her Juicy couture bag?

SMITH: Everything was together in the one location that we found wedged between a building and a big cactus.

GRACE: I`m sorry, I couldn`t hear you. Wedged between a building and a what?

SMITH: And a cactus, kind of a bush is where we found it. And I don`t know if the books were actually in the bag or -- but they were all found together.

GRACE: Well, that`s interesting because it seemed to me, from my understanding, the bag had just been thrown. But now I`m hearing they`re wedged between a cactus and a building, as if they were intentionally hidden there. Is that correct, Sheriff Smith?

SMITH: You know, it`s hard to tell. It could have been thrown. It could have been placed there. We can`t really tell. It looks like either could have been done.

So many unanswered questions regarding Rick Gardiner.  Why?  Marlene has shared regarding her alleged contact with Sierra on the morning of March 16th but ... not a word from or about her elusive boyfriend.

Sheriff Smith has shared that Marlene and Steve submitted to polygraphs but only states that Rick Gardiner has been talked to.

Cadaver Dogs Brought to Search for Teen Cheerleader

Aired April 6, 2012 - 20:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.


NANCY GRACE, HOST: Breaking news tonight, live, upscale San Jose area. A 15-year-old cheerleader, loves music, loves to dance, literally an all- American girl, set to leave for the school bus that morning. Sierra never makes it to the bus stop or to school, the little cheerleader never seen again, cell phone found thrown in a nearby field, belongings, her favorite little Juicy couture bag abandoned, her favorite top we think she was wearing that morning neatly folded inside the bag.

Police say Sierra grabbed in the sliver of time between mom leaving for work that morning and her getting to the bus stop less than an hour later. A search team finds an empty box for steel handcuffs and used condoms near the school bus stop.

Bombshell tonight. At this hour, investigators bringing in cadaver dogs in three key spots. Tonight, what do the cops now know? And where is missing cheerleader Sierra LaMar?

(END VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is a terrifying new development.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Cadaver dogs assisting us in this investigation.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She`s only 15 years old.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is a missing person case.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Sierra, you know, if you`re out there...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And we`re just relying on information as it comes in.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (INAUDIBLE) dogs out to the property.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Two used condoms.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is the field where the cell phone of the missing teen was found.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The evidence is very telling because it tells us the story of what happened.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Investigators went door to door.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Search teams have been probing the creeks and fields near the LaMar home.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We want you home.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Police have uncovered an ominous looking empty box with the words "steel handcuffs" written on it.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Searchers found that box. It has a sticker right on the side of it that says "stainless steel handcuffs."

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I hope she`s OK! Get her home safe (INAUDIBLE)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Sierra, we love you. And we can`t wait for you to come home.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: Good evening. I`m Nancy Grace. I want to thank you for being with us. Bombshell tonight. Live, upscale San Jose area. A 15-year-old cheerleader, literally an all-American girl, set to leave for the school bus that morning, never seen again.

At this hour, investigators now bringing in cadaver dogs to three key spots. Tonight, what do the cops now know? And where is Sierra LaMar?

We are taking your calls. Straight out to Henry K. Lee joining us out of California, reporter with "The San Francisco Chronicle." Henry, why are cops honing in on those specific three areas, including Morgan Hill? Go ahead.

HENRY K. LEE, "SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE": Well, Nancy, the locations being searched are about 15 miles south of Morgan Hill, the cities of Gilroy and San Martin, which is in between those two cities. Police are not saying why they`re focusing on that area other than to say they have brought in cadaver dogs, an ominous development indeed.

GRACE: You know, David Lohr, senior crime reporter, HuffingtonPost, it is ominous when cadaver dogs are brought in -- not scent dogs, not tracker dogs, cadaver dogs. And it`s my understanding -- have any bodies of water been searched with water cadaver dogs?

DAVID LOHR, HUFFINGTONPOST (via telephone): Nancy, we know that they`ve divers come in. They`ve cleared several of the waterways around there. As far as the cadaver dogs they have out there today, we know they have three of them out there. And the authorities say they`re looking for a crime scene or any sign of Sierra, possibly clothing she was wearing or items like that that might indicate what happened to her.

GRACE: With me right now, special guest Brad Dennis, K9 handler and director of search operations for Klaas Kids Foundation. Brad Dennis, I first learned about water dogs in the middle of an arson investigation, and I learned that dogs could smell accelerants underwater, such as gasoline. After that time, I found out about water cadaver dogs, cadaver dogs that can scent the smell of decaying human tissue underwater.

Explain how that works, Brad Dennis.

BRAD DENNIS, K9 HANDLER, KLAAS KIDS FOUNDATION (via telephone): Well, they are trained to, you know, obviously, alert to the odor of human decomposition. That odor releases itself from the different oils from our body. Once the body is submerged in water, it`ll float to the top. The dog at that point can then be working on a boat and provide as trained indication back to its handler.

GRACE: Well, it`s amazing to me, Brad Dennis. Let`s see that video again of the cadaver dog in the boat, going out on a body of water. There you see the dog down on the right, the black dog down on the right. Let`s see -- there`s another dog jumping into a boat.

How do they smell it through the water, Brad?

DENNIS: Again, you know, there`s -- there`s oils will end up floating back up to the top. We`ll work a boat in kind of a zig-zag type of a grid pattern to make sure that the dog is either working directly into the wind or into the current, and allow that odor to kind of come right across the bow of the boat so the dog can actually at that point be able to pick up on that odor.

GRACE: You know, that makes perfect sense, Brad Dennis, K9 handler, director of search operation for Klaas Kids Foundation. Brad, so you`re saying, in layman`s terms, that the human oil that is emitted from the decaying or decomposure process goes -- floats to the top of the water, and that`s what the dog picks up. They`re not necessarily smelling something down, you know, many feet below water. They`re smelling something that is now floating on top of the water.

Is that what you`re saying?

DENNIS: Yes, immunity, the body may very well be all the way down at the bottom. But as it sits down on the bottom, those oils, as well as the rest of the decomp fluids, will begin to drift up to the top. And then that`s where the dog is actually alerting, is when those oils pop up to the top.

GRACE: At this hour, police intensifying the search and bringing in cadaver dogs to three key areas in the search for missing teen cheerleader Sierra LaMar.

And what is so hard to take in is that her mom was with her that morning, getting ready as usual, getting ready to go to work. She, Sierra, was getting ready the go to the school bus stop. Between the time this child`s mom leaves for work and she should get to the bus stop, she is abducted.

We are taking your calls. Back to you, Brad Dennis, K9 handler and director of search operations -- Brad, we typically start with search dogs or scent dogs, sometimes called bloodhounds. But now cadaver dogs are being brought in. What does that say to you, Brad Dennis?

DENNIS: Well, just have -- recently being out there, I know how invested the Santa Clara sheriff`s office is in this case. They are bringing out every tool that they have available to them.

This is a process of elimination. They have to go into some of these areas and eliminate them. One of the best tools to be able to do so is the cadaver dogs. Like you said, they have deployed trailing dogs in the past. But you know, every single day that goes by, it`s more and more urgent.

GRACE: Joining me right now, speaking of the Santa Clara County sheriff`s office, special guest Sheriff Laurie Smith. Sheriff, thank you for being with us.

You have honed in on three key areas. Can you divulge why these three spots?

SHERIFF LAURIE SMITH, SANTA CLARA COUNTRY (via telephone): We`re looking at high-probability areas. And we know the odds. We know that there`s a chance that she`s not alive. But our mission is to return this young girl home safely and put the bad guy in jail.

GRACE: Joining me right now, Matt Zarrell. Matt, at this hour, police cadaver dogs brought out to three key areas, police intensifying their search. After a lull in the search for Sierra LaMar, suddenly, the search has intensified, including with cadaver dogs, Matt.

MATT ZARRELL, NANCY GRACE PRODUCER: Yes, Nancy, and it`s not just one cadaver dog, it`s three cadaver dogs in separate locations. They`ve also looked at waterways, reservoirs in the area. They`ve had the dogs on the water that you`ve seen on the video looking for a dead body. They were prepared to send divers in if there was a hit. They`re still searching.

And Nancy, we`re also still waiting for information on the evidence we talked about earlier, the evidence of the handcuff box and the condoms. We`re still trying to find out -- it could be connected to Sierra`s disappearance.

GRACE: To Sheriff Laurie Smith, the relatively unweathered box containing -- once containing steel handcuffs and used condoms -- how far away from the school bus stop were they found?

SMITH: I would guess probably about a half a mile. And those items are at the lab now. We`re doing DNA testing on the condoms, and we`re anxiously awaiting any kind of forensic analysis on everything that we have submitted to the lab.

GRACE: What else have you submitted, Sheriff?

SMITH: We`ve submitted the telephone. We`ve submitted the clothing and bag that was found. We have submitted samples from Sierra. So there`s a great amount of items being processed right now for DNA, for fingerprints, for trace evidence.

GRACE: To Sheriff Laurie Smith joining us from Santa Clara County sheriff`s office there in San Jose. Sheriff, could you expand on the theory that she may have been kidnapped by someone that knew her -- knew her maybe even in a loose context, such as knew of her movements, had seen her at that bus stop?

SMITH: We believe she was taken. We believe she was abducted. It could either be an acquaintance or a stranger. Sierra was a strong-willed girl. Most of her friends and her family don`t believe she would have gotten in a car voluntarily. That may lead us to stranger, but it also could be acquaintance. We`re exploring everything. We`re looking at both.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No one saw her at the bus stop. The bus driver says he didn`t see her that morning.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All indications are that she left home, that something may have happened during the short distance from the home to the bus stop.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We`ve lost a child. The whole community feels like we`ve lost a child.

GRACE: We are taking your calls in the search for Sierra LaMar.

And joining me right now is her mother. Marlene LaMar is joining out of Morgan Hill, California. Ms. LaMar, thank you for being with us.

MARLENE LAMAR, SIERRA`S MOTHER (via telephone): Yes. I`m glad to be here.

GRACE: Ms. LaMar, the timeline -- let`s go through that morning again. I`m sure you`ve been through it a million times with the police. What happened that morning?

LAMAR: Well, that Friday morning, I was getting ready to leave for work about 6:00. And I gave her a hug good-bye, like I always do, and wished her a good day. And she did the same to me, you know, said, I love you and have a good day. And I left at 6:00 o`clock.

And then I was told, you know, as far as -- the text that was sent was after 7:00, pretty much right before she leaves to take the bus, which is about 7:15 (INAUDIBLE) catch the bus. The bus usually comes about 7:25.

And she also took -- it was on her laptop, a picture of herself around the same time, close to the time that she texted her friend from school before leaving for the bus stop. And...

GRACE: So you have her alive and well at what time, about 7:10, snapping that photo of herself?

LAMAR: At 7:15 because she was always in a rush to go to school. So I`m pretty sure it was probably 7:15, as far as, you know, doing that stuff. It was after -- like, close to 7:15, when that -- as far as the timeline.

GRACE: Did she attach a message with the photo that she texted to her friends?

LAMAR: That I don`t know. But I know that the photo was taken right before she left for the bus stop.

GRACE: To Sheriff Laurie Smith with Santa Clara County sheriff`s office. Sheriff Smith, with that text -- let`s see the text again, please, that she sent out the morning she goes missing. She sent this around 7:15 AM. There it is. Was there a message with the photo, Sheriff?

SMITH: The photo is actually separate from the text. There was a text message to one of her friends, and her friend answered the text. It was nothing that was critical to the investigation. I think she was just asking her to bring something to school.

GRACE: Well, to me, that is critical in itself because you`ve got the missing girl asking a friend, Can you bring something to me at school, which indicates this girl is not a runaway. She was intending on meeting up with her friend at school.

And Sheriff Smith, what time was that text to her friend?

SMITH: I think it was around 7:11 to -- yes, 7:11. And we believe that she was planning to go to school based on the items that we found that we`ve discussed in the past, her school -- her school books. That`s why -- and after talking with all of her friends, she would have told somebody. We believe that it was an abduction.

GRACE: You stated, Sheriff Smith, that you found her school books. Were they in her Juicy couture bag?

SMITH: Everything was together in the one location that we found wedged between a building and a big cactus.

GRACE: I`m sorry, I couldn`t hear you. Wedged between a building and a what?

SMITH: And a cactus, kind of a bush is where we found it. And I don`t know if the books were actually in the bag or -- but they were all found together.

GRACE: Well, that`s interesting because it seemed to me, from my understanding, the bag had just been thrown. But now I`m hearing they`re wedged between a cactus and a building, as if they were intentionally hidden there. Is that correct, Sheriff Smith?

SMITH: You know, it`s hard to tell. It could have been thrown. It could have been placed there. We can`t really tell. It looks like either could have been done.

We are taking your calls. Out to you, Georgina, California. Hi. What`s your question?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hi, Nancy. I love your show. My question for you is if she has a boyfriend? And who was the last person that sees her when she left? I mean, I really want to know, does she has a boyfriend?

GRACE: That`s an excellent question. To Marlene LaMar. This is Sierra`s mom joining us, asking for your help. Did she have a boyfriend, Ms. LaMar?

LAMAR: No, she did not have a boyfriend. And she didn`t have any interests, like a crush or if anything like that, for the last month.

GRACE: Was anyone texting her or e-mailing her that had a crush on her?

LAMAR: Well, that I don`t know. But Sierra was attractive and she was approachable and she was friendly to everybody. So that wouldn`t surprise me.

GRACE: To Sheriff Smith. Have you uncovered anyone who has a crush on her? I assume -- you have the phone, so you can read texts and e-mails if they come through the phone. You have her laptop. What, if anything, have you learned, Sheriff?

SMITH: Sierra was very social. She`s outgoing. And she had many, many friends. I don`t know about crushes. But we`ve talked with all of her friends, sometimes multiple times, and we don`t get any leads going that direction. We`re not done. We`re still looking and we`re still interviewing.

GRACE: OK. Got it. Back to Marlene LaMar. That morning, was there anyone else in the home other than you and Sierra?

LAMAR: No, no.

GRACE: And what time exactly did you leave for work?

LAMAR: Pretty close to 6:00 o`clock.

GRACE: Do you have a home alarm?

LAMAR: No. No.

GRACE: OK. So I`m just trying to figure out that timeline. We know her last text and e-mails were around 7:11, 7:15. So in the space of being (ph) to the school bus stop at 7:25, this all goes wrong.

It`s my understanding that dogs picked up her scent to the bottom of the driveway, is that correct, Sheriff Smith?

SMITH: They did pick up her scent going out of her house. I`m not sure how far the scent had gone. And there`d been a lot of rain and wind that day.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is a terrifying new development.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Cadaver dogs assisting us in this investigation.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She`s only 15 years old.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She is the missing person.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Sierra, if you`re out there.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We`re just relying on information as it comes in.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Take the dogs at the property.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Two used condoms.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is the field where the cell phone of the missing teen was found.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The evidence is very telling because it tells us a story of what happened.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Investigators went door-to-door.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Search teams have been probing the creeks and fields near the Lamar home.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We want you home.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Police have uncovered an ominous looking empty box with the words steel handcuffs written on it.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Searchers found that box. It has a sticker on the side of it that says stainless steel handcuffs.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I just hope she`s OK.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Get her home safe.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sierra, we love you. And we can`t wait for you to come home.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

GRACE: We are back in taking your calls in the desperate search for this little girl, 15-year-old cheerleader, Sierra Lamar. Goes missing in the time between her mom leaving to work and her leaving the home to catch the school bus.

Unleash the lawyers, Georgia Goslee, Renee Rockwell, Peter Odom.

To you, Peter Odom, as always, people close to the family come under suspicion first.

PETER ODOM, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Right.

GRACE: That would be ex-husband. That would be boyfriend. That would be next door neighbor. Pizza delivery guy, Preacher, teacher. That`s who you look at first. Why Odom?

ODOM: Because almost all homicides are committed by people close to the victim. And that`s why they start with the people very closest, family member, spouses. Then they go to the next level. Acquaintances, then the next level teachers, coworkers. That`s what they`ve done in this case. This just appears to be a stranger situation, Nancy. They`re very rare.

GRACE: To Marlene Lamar, this is Sierra`s mom. Now, you have a boyfriend. Does he live in the home?

MARLENE LAMAR, SIERRA LAMAR`S MOTHER (via telephone): Yes, and he`s been cleared as a suspect. And so I just want to focus on her search and, you know, continue the questioning. You know, I just want to say that. He`s been cleared as a suspected.

GRACE: I`m glad to know that. As a matter of fact, I already knew that and had not planned to ask you any questions regarding him as a suspect. But since you have now brought it up, Miss Lamar, you told me no one else was in the home that morning. Where was he?

LAMAR: He -- he left before me. That morning.

GRACE: So he was in the home that morning?

LAMAR: Yes. But he had left before me.

GRACE: OK. Because you earlier told me no one else was in the home but you and sierra.

LAMAR: Well, he left. I`m sorry. I`m still in shock by everything I heard on your show. But he left after me. So the sheriffs know all the information.

GRACE: To Marc Klaas, president of Klaaskids foundation. He`s also heading up a search for Sierra.

Mark, I recall the story of when your daughter Polly, you`re wearing her photo right now as usual, went missing from her home. Police immediately came to you. And wanted and did question you as to your whereabouts. Wants to search your place, your car, everything. Explain why it is so important for family members, relatives, neighbors and people close to the family to cooperate. And not be defensive. To just cooperate.

MARC KLAAS, PRESIDENT, KLAASKIDS FOUNDATION: Sure. Justice Peters said that the majority of homicides are committed by somebody close to the victim. So are abductions. They`re generally family centric or close friend centric. Therefore it`s incumbent upon all of us that are in family or that are close friends to do absolutely everything we can to clear ourselves from suspicion so that law enforcement can then move their resources to the other possibilities. Friends, peripheral contacts, registered sex offenders within the community, and then the most elusive of all, the stranger scenarios.

GRACE: Back to the lawyers. Georgia Goslee, former federal prosecutor out of D.C. Renee Rockwell, Atlanta, Peter Odom, Atlanta.

Renee, weigh in.

RENEE ROCKWELL, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Besides the local sex offender registry Nancy, have they interested in knowing if there`s any construction sites around that area.

GRACE: That`s a good point.

To Marlene Lamar, this is Sierra`s mom. Are there construction sites close to the home? Is there anything unusual going within, say for instance, a mile radius of the home?

LAMAR: Well there`s a grass farm area. There`s nurseries.

GRACE: And to you, sheriff, that would be probably a very high turnover of workers, correct?

SHERIFF LAURIE SMITH, SANTA CLARA COMPANY, SHERIFF`S OFFICE (via telephone): Yes. Those types would be high turnovers. We`ve got total cooperation from the employers in giving us information on the employees. We have talked with many of the farm workers and people working in the area, including gardeners, including people doing work on people`s homes.

GRACE: You know, an interesting thing about those books that you mentioned.

To Marlene Lamar, this is Sierra`s mom, would her books all fit into her juicy couture bag?

LAMAR: I -- I`m trying to think about the size of the bag. It would be kind of squished in there. Usually she --

GRACE: Did she normally carry her books separate from the bag?

LAMAR: Usually, yes.

GRACE: OK. That leads me back to the other question, sheriff, which I find very interesting and very possibly probative, Sheriff Smith. It doesn`t sound like her books were in her bag. Whoever placed them there had to leave prints on them, sheriff. Were they printed?

SMITH: All of the evidence is being processed, and I know that they`re looking for fingerprint also. And we haven`t gotten any results for the crime lab yet. And we`re anxiously awaiting that.

GRACE: How long has it been?

SMITH: I`m not certain when they were sent to the lab. So I`m not sure how long.

GRACE: Well, you know to you, Woody Tripp. Typically, they would be sent immediately. And you can tell on a fingerprint analysis whether you`ve been able to pick up latent prints immediately. Explain how you do it.

WOODROW TRIPP, FORMER POLICE COMMANDER, POLYGRAPH EXPERT: Absolutely, Nancy. With fingerprints, unlike DNA, it can be almost immediate. It`s just a matter of retrieving the prints and then processing them by a fingerprint examiner. That examiner will immediately look at them.

The only clause is if you have something to compare with those prints. You can certainly rule her out though, if her prints were on file or if there`s something that may have her fingerprint.

GRACE: Right.

TRIPP: That way, you can determine what other plans --

GRACE: What about acres?

TRIPP: That`s one of the things that the examiner does is submit the prints into acres and hopefully get a match. But again, they have to be entered in there by a suspect.

GRACE: We are taking your calls as we go to break.

 ::snipping2::

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: And I gave her a big hug.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sierra Lamar is missing. High school cheerleader.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Texted at 7:11. And tries to catch the bus. Usually leaves the house at 7:15 and catches the bus at 7:25.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: But Sierra never makes it on the school bus.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It`s just weird that none of us have any idea.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: When is the last time you saw her?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: At 6:00 that morning.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: But Sierra never makes it on the school bus.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I hope she knows that we are looking for her.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

GRACE: We are taking your calls in the search for Sierra. In the last hours, police call out Cadaver dogs in three key areas. Why? What, if anything, more did they know about the search for Sierra?

I want to go straight to Dr. Bill Manion, medical examiner, joining us tonight out of New York. Dr. Manion, question. A very un-weathered cardboard box that contained steel handcuffs and used condoms were found very close to the school bus stop where this child was headed. What, if anything, will we learn from that?

DOCTOR BILL MANION M.D., MEDICAL EXAMINER, NEW JERSEY: Well, the condom has two sides. The inside and the outside. So the outside will be checked for DNA, because if that was in contact with the female, the female DNA will be there, and they`ll be able to compare it to Sierra`s DNA.

Also, they`ll check the inside and get that DNA, the sperm DNA and compare it with felony data bases that the state may have, that the FBI may have. So, hopefully they`ll get a hit on one of these things and at least it will have some idea that she was at this place, that she was assaulted. I guess, the reason they picked those towns is seems to have left things a certain direction. Maybe that`s the direction he wanted to go, to either dispose of a body, or to get away, to head in that direction. So, perhaps that`s why they`re going in that direction. Or they may have a great number of convicted sex offenders in there. Or there may be offenders in the area.

GRACE: Very quickly, Dr. Bethany Marshall, psychoanalyst and author of "deal breakers". We have the shirt we believe she was wearing that morning, although it was a hoodie. She could have had something under it, folded up neatly in her juicy couture pocketbook. Her books, together with the juicy bag, wedged between a building and a cactus. We find her cell phone apparently thrown into a field. But it`s interesting to me to find the purse wedged between a structure. As if it was put there. Bethany?

BETHANY MARSHALL, PSYCHOANALYST, AUTHOR, DEALBREAKERS: It was put there, Nancy. And you know what, no 15-year-old girl is going to put their juicy couture bag on the ground. So, we know the perp did it.

The fact that the books are with the purse, it`s almost as if everything is lovingly preserved together, which makes me wonder, did the perpetrator know this girl? The phone is thrown out the window, seemingly, but the books and the purse are not. Because if the books and purse were thrown, they would have been scattered as well. So now you have an offending pattern.

The person who picked her up may have known her. She goes to try to call out. The perpetrator grabs the phone, throws out the window. He has to act very quickly. He has a limited time horizon or time window. So did he know her? Had he left a job? Was he another student? Was he a man with a family and he got out, offended and had to return home really quickly, and then somehow the purse and the books were preserved all in one area, as if that could not be scattered as well.

I think it`s very strange that this evidence is leaking out so slowly. What did Miss Lamar`s boyfriend observe when this little girl was leaving the house? That is such a treasure-trove of information. And I do urge her to --

GRACE: The thing is though, Bethany, she tells me that the boyfriend had left before she did. So the last person to actually see Sierra is the mom. The boyfriend was already gone.

MARSHALL: But now she`s saying that he left after she did. So the story hole is what did this boyfriend observe? And in particular is as a psychoanalyst --

GRACE: Hold on. Hold on. Let me clear it up, Bethany. I think you`re right.

Back to Marlene Lamar. I think you did state that. Did the boyfriend leave the home before or after you?

LAMAR: He left before me. He left before me.

GRACE: And he was gone, what, to work?

LAMAR: Yes, so me and Sierra were alone in the house, because he did leave before me. And he`s not --

GRACE: OK, and he logged into work on time, correct?

LAMAR: He`s cleared. And I just think it`s wrong to talk about this when we need to talk about, you know, the real situation of where --

GRACE: OK, Miss Lamar, I`m sure that you just heard Marc Klaas state, as did I, that police look first at family, friends, acquaintances, neighbors, delivery people. And what viewers are trying to help find Sierra. So when they have questions of this nature. I`m sure that there are innocent answers.

LAMAR: Yes. I know that`s part of this.

GRACE: I`m concerned at you being so defensive about it. If he left that morning and went to work. Great. But by you continually throwing up roadblocks, that`s what is causing the problem.

LAMAR: No, I`m not. I want to find -- we both want to find my daughter.

GRACE: OK, great. Bethany, weigh in.

MARSHALL: Well, I think a word from Miss Lamar, truthfulness about when your boyfriend left the house is not the same as betraying him. Your duty is to your daughter and not to your boyfriend. And there`s only one story.

GRACE: I agree. I think she misspoke. I think he left before her. What about it, Georgia?

GEORGIA GOSLEE, FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR: Just a little curious. I would like to know a little more about the boyfriend. I would like to know about the past record, if in fact he does one. And unfortunately, we don`t want to put a glaring light on him. But maybe he has friends and associates. And I know that she feels a little defensive about it, but it needs to be looked into. I think.

GRACE: I agree. I agree. At this point police are telling me the boyfriend has been cleared. But I agree with you, Georgia, until those questions are answered, the viewers are trying to help. And you know, when you`re in the middle of a search for your daughter, to state that you have something else you have to do, it`s a little disturbing. But I get it. I get it. Feeling under the gun. Under the spotlight. Let me give you the tip line for sierra again. 408-808-4431.

 ::snipping2::
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

GRACE: We are back and taking your calls in the search for 15-year- old Sierra Lamar. To Sheriff Laurie Smith, Santa Clara county sheriff.

Sheriff, explain to me what is the issue with the live-in boyfriend?

SMITH: We`ve talked with him. We`re continuing the investigation. Until Sierra`s home safely, we`re not eliminating anybody, and any new information that we get or any new suspicions we get, we will absolutely totally follow up.

GRACE: To you, Henry K. Lee, did the boyfriend report to work that morning? And how far away did he work?

HENRY K. LEE, REPORTER, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE: Well, for all intents and purposes, I`m glad you asked that question. Because the sheriff`s office is saying to the public, if you know of anyone who has not reported to work, is acting suspiciously, has a strange injury, or has some unexplained absence, we need to know about it. As far as the boyfriend goes, I don`t have any information that suggests there was anything --

GRACE: OK. Let`s ask the sheriff. Sheriff, did he report to work on time that morning?

SMITH: We just can`t release information or evidence about the case. And we really can`t comment on that.

GRACE: David Lorh, did the boyfriend report to work on time?

DAVID LOHR, SENIOR CRIME REPORTER HUFFINGTON POST: We don`t know that yet, Nancy.

GRACE: Henry K. Lee, do you know where he worked?

LEE: I do not, and I just want to clarify, just because we don`t know this thing, doesn`t mean he might be someone that they are honing more attention.

GRACE: No, it does not.

To Marc Klaas, do you know where the boyfriend worked and did he report to work on time? It`s really very simple.

KLAAS: I don`t know where he works. I know what kind of work he does. But I also know that both Rick and Steve have taken and apparently passed polygraph exams. And I`ve met the man --

GRACE: That is good to know, Marc Klaas. That`s very good to know.

KLAAS: Nancy, I`ve metric several times, and he seems like a regular guy to me. I don`t -- my intuition may be wrong, but I don`t believe he`s involved in this girl`s disappearance.

GRACE: Good to know.

KLAAS: At all.

GRACE: Good to know. I`d like to just get simple answers to simple questions so we can then move on with the investigation.

I know that some people are going to jump all over Marlene Lamar for her seeming indecisiveness on Nancy Grace last night.

This morning, I kept thinking about a comment she made...

Quote
LAMAR: Well, he left. I`m sorry. I`m still in shock by everything I heard on your show. But he left after me. So the sheriffs know all the information.

So out of curiosity, I copied the portion of the transcript BEFORE Marlene Lamar is brought into the show and looked at something.

A search for the word "cadaver" alone brought 19 hits.

They're talking about her baby!  I can understand her being out of sorts after listening to the first part of the show.

And then...
 
Can you imagine being Sierra's mother and hearing the in depth discussion about how dogs get the scent of a body under water?

And KNOWING they've been looking for your baby that way?

I can't.  I probably wouldn't have been able to answer anything to anyone's satisfaction either!

In this article it states she usually catches the bus before dawn!  I have often thought before dawn pick ups were so unsafe.  Wonder if she is the only rider at this stop.  I don't know her parents working status but I have never ever let my child wait for a bus alone nor get off without his Dad, me or the sitter when younger! There are cases where it has to be done but today their is no safe place for a child.  I only hope they are able to ping her phone some.

LAMAR: I was listening to stuff in the background about her walking at the bus stop before dawn. But actually, she started for the bus stop at 7:15, and it was bright out. I mean, it`s well lit, so I want to make sure...

DNA Testing - Fingerprint Analysis

NANCY GRACE
Aired April 6, 2012 - 20:00   ET


<snipped>

GRACE: To Sheriff Laurie Smith, the relatively unweathered box containing -- once containing steel handcuffs and used condoms -- how far away from the school bus stop were they found?

SMITH: I would guess probably about a half a mile. And those items are at the lab now. We`re doing DNA testing on the condoms, and we`re anxiously awaiting any kind of forensic analysis on everything that we have submitted to the lab.

GRACE: What else have you submitted, Sheriff?

SMITH: We`ve submitted the telephone. We`ve submitted the clothing and bag that was found. We have submitted samples from Sierra. So there`s a great amount of items being processed right now for DNA, for fingerprints, for trace evidence.

<snipped>

GRACE: OK. That leads me back to the other question, sheriff, which I find very interesting and very possibly probative, Sheriff Smith. It doesn`t sound like her books were in her bag. Whoever placed them there had to leave prints on them, sheriff. Were they printed?

SMITH: All of the evidence is being processed, and I know that they`re looking for fingerprint also. And we haven`t gotten any results for the crime lab yet. And we`re anxiously awaiting that.

GRACE: How long has it been?

SMITH: I`m not certain when they were sent to the lab. So I`m not sure how long.

GRACE: Well, you know to you, Woody Tripp. Typically, they would be sent immediately. And you can tell on a fingerprint analysis whether you`ve been able to pick up latent prints immediately. Explain how you do it.

WOODROW TRIPP, FORMER POLICE COMMANDER, POLYGRAPH EXPERT: Absolutely, Nancy. With fingerprints, unlike DNA, it can be almost immediate. It`s just a matter of retrieving the prints and then processing them by a fingerprint examiner. That examiner will immediately look at them.

Maybe the truth would be forthcoming if the reward did not stipulate "safe return".  Could it be that someone who has knowledge or .... out of a misguided sense of love/loyalty was a participant in a cover up in regards to the happenings encompassing the demise of Sierra Lamar ... would be motivated to come forward?  Maybe there could be a plea deal in regards to legal consequences in exchange for the affirmed truth?

Family of Sierra LaMar announces $10,000 reward
Posted:   04/07/2012 01:36:06 PM PDT
Updated:   04/07/2012 01:48:52 PM PDT


The family of a missing Morgan Hill teenager on Saturday announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to her safe return.

Authorities believe Sierra LaMar, 15, was kidnapped sometime the morning of March 16. In the three weeks since, officials have logged more than 6,000 hours on the case but have been unable to locate any significant clues beyond the girl's cell phone and bag, which were found tossed in a field near her home.

Sierra's father, Steve LaMar, said the family raised the reward money through fund-raisers and donations to an account set up with Chase bank. "We're hoping it might give someone the motivation to come forward," he said. "We're desperate for anything that can bring her home to us."

I don't want to condemn an innocent man but mom's boyfriend, Rick, does have a few things going against him...

Mom can say definitively that she was on her way and/or at her place of employment during the time Sierra went missing. Rick cannot and LE will not comment.  Sierra went missing in a very small time frame which indicates her abductor was known to her and in contact with her or knew her routine well, or both.  Her belongings were meticulously placed in a hiding spot relatively close to her abduction.  To understand where her remains may be located we would need to know how much missing time Rick had that day.

If we consider the handcuff box and condoms, and believe they are related to Sierra's abduction, then the best guess would be that this was not a person known to Sierra and more likely an offender who likes playing games with LE and has done this before.  Someone who has been watching Sierra and became fully aware of her schedule.  That, for me, would rule Rick out.  In this scenario LE will not likely find fingerprints (he would have been smart enough to wear gloves) and this person does not have an arrest record so he did not fear leaving behind DNA on the condoms.  He is well respected and believes he will get away with this.

Either scenario pretty strongly implies Sierra is no longer with us.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

I think her mother is deceased, but maybe another relative?

This may be SL grandmother?

No idea if it's the right one or not, but if you Google Sierra's great uncle's name (Kunio Nakamura) there is one in Japan within the right age range that is President of the parent company of Panasonic.

IF it is him, this is an interesting read imo...

Sierra LaMar: 49ers join search for missing teen

Henry K. Lee

Sunday, April 8, 2012

Volunteers, including San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith and other members of the team, were out again Saturday to look for clues to the whereabouts of Sierra LaMar, the 15-year-old Morgan Hill girl who has been missing for three weeks.

Smith, who took part in a similar search last weekend, and several other 49ers players were among the dozens who met Saturday morning at Burnett Elementary School in Morgan Hill for the latest search related to the March 16 disappearance of Sierra. Santa Clara County sheriff's officials are now treating the case as an abduction.

The 49ers players were led by Michael Le, whose sister Michelle disappeared in May. Her body was found by volunteer search teams in September, said Marc Klaas, who heads the KlaasKids Foundation and is organizing the search effort. Another volunteer search will take place Wednesday.

"They're motivated by the same emotions that everybody else has. This little girl is out there missing, and it's our duty to recover her and bring her home," said Klaas, whose 12-year-old daughter, Polly, was kidnapped and killed by career criminal Richard Allen Davis in 1993.

I'd like to make a comment regarding the comments of some on this poor girl's character, based on her Twitter tweets, etc. I too thought "Wow, what a messed-up little chick" when I read her tweets last week (someone had posted a link to them here). I did not post any comments to that effect, though.

However, just yesterday I found out from a very close friend of mine that her daughter knew Sierra quite well--they danced together at the same dance studio in Fremont for about five years. My friend also interacted with Sierra several times and said that her online persona was just that--as she put it, "Most teenagers think it's cool to act that way online, but no way was Sierra really like that. Most of them aren't." She added that Sierra was very popular in school and loved going to school--her new hs as well at her former one--so she she and her daughter do not believe there is any chance that she has just run away, sadly. Apparently, Sierra lived in a rural area outside of the regular Morgan Hill city limits and so had to walk to, and wait at, her bus stop alone, sometimes for 20 minutes or more. In other words, a perfect scenario for some scumbag to say, "Hey, instead of having to wait out here, let me give you a ride."

I wanted to share this because I think it adds to the tragedy that this poor teenage girl who cannot defend herself (and is probably dead) is having her character questioned online by some. She does not deserve to have aspersions cast on her character by adults based on her admittedly poor choice of online words.

As sunlight kissed green fields and fruit trees early Saturday, Sierra LaMar's family awoke to another morning in their three-week-long nightmare.

The bucolic quiet surrounding a part of Silicon Valley that seems barely removed from its agricultural roots belied a desperate search for the 15-year-old Morgan Hill girl who has been missing since March 16.

At a shuttered school that's been turned into a search-and-rescue command center since her disappearance, Sierra's family announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to her safe return.

Authorities believe Sierra was probably kidnapped while walking to catch a bus to her high school. In the weeks since, officials have logged more than 6,000 hours on the case, but they've been unable to locate any significant clues beyond the girl's cell phone and bag, found tossed in a field near her home.

Sierra's father, Steve LaMar, said the family scraped together the reward money through fundraisers and donations to an account set up with Chase bank. "We're hoping it might give someone the motivation to come forward," he said. "We're desperate for anything that can bring her home to us."

The car thing seems odd to me.  They know where the car is parked because they got a photo of it, so then they also know the license plates and have access to the VIN... there's no mystery there.  Unless that is not the actual car.

My guess is that the car is on like they one they are asking about...not THE one. Obviously, if it is THE one, they have found it...JMO

As far as Sierra's online presence...it DOES matter because she was very outspoken online and could have attracted another whole catagory of people than another 15-yr old girl would have done. She talked about drugs, drink, sex, whether she did those things or not, (perverted)readers who don't know her might have been attracted to her. She recently moved and she may, at some point, have posted her new address online to one of her friends, for all we know.

I do agree that she should not be judged by any of this, just as I feel terrible for things that were speculated about Samantha Koenig, when it was obvious to me from the start that she was kidnapped and that the crime seem unrelated to anything to do with her personally. In Sierra's case, though, her kidnapping COULD be related to her online activity...in my opinion.

I'd like to make a comment regarding the comments of some on this poor girl's character, based on her Twitter tweets, etc. I too thought "Wow, what a messed-up little chick" when I read her tweets last week (someone had posted a link to them here). I did not post any comments to that effect, though.

However, just yesterday I found out from a very close friend of mine that her daughter knew Sierra quite well--they danced together at the same dance studio in Fremont for about five years. My friend also interacted with Sierra several times and said that her online persona was just that--as she put it, "Most teenagers think it's cool to act that way online, but no way was Sierra really like that. Most of them aren't." She added that Sierra was very popular in school and loved going to school--her new hs as well at her former one--so she she and her daughter do not believe there is any chance that she has just run away, sadly. Apparently, Sierra lived in a rural area outside of the regular Morgan Hill city limits and so had to walk to, and wait at, her bus stop alone, sometimes for 20 minutes or more. In other words, a perfect scenario for some scumbag to say, "Hey, instead of having to wait out here, let me give you a ride."

I wanted to share this because I think it adds to the tragedy that this poor teenage girl who cannot defend herself (and is probably dead) is having her character questioned online by some. She does not deserve to have aspersions cast on her character by adults based on her admittedly poor choice of online words.

One of the COOLEST experiences ever!! Getting to lead 49'ers and their wives/girlfriends ( didn't know their relationship to each player, too focused on searching!) on a search was tons of fun! Great bunch of guys and girls who listened , followed instructions, and searched very thoroughly! If any of them somehow read this, please continue supporting Sierra's safe return home!

Sierra LaMar Remains Missing; Will Reward Inspire Leads?

April 08, 2012 08:10 PM EDT

by Chelsea Hoffman

Fifteen-year-old Sierra LaMar is still missing from the Morgan Hill, California region, and there have been very few updates in the past week regarding the girl's case. In one week, the missing cheerleader will be gone for a whole month, and it's highly unlikely that she ran away on her own free will. What happened to this young woman? Will she be found safe, or did something unspeakable happen to her?

The San Francisco 49ers are joining in on the search for Sierra LaMar, and a reward for $10,000 is being offered by the family for any information leading to the missing girl. 

::snipping2::

While these rewards offered by family members of missing people feel effective, it doesn't really seem like any amount of money works in some events. 
::snipping2::

That's not saying $10,000 is a low amount; by no means is this a small amount of money. However, after nearly a month of this young woman's disappearance, it's highly unlikely that any criminal or persons aware of Sierra's whereabouts will be inspired by money.

It's highly likely that Sierra LaMar was abducted by someone fueled by sexual deviancy—as are many crimes of this nature. There have been no reports of ransom letters or anything of the sort. All that has been reportedly found are her clothes, neatly folded in her purse, her cellphone, and some used condoms and handcuffs that are currently being tested for DNA. It has been rumored that the bag containing Sierra's clothing also contained urine, but this has not been confirmed by investigators.

Sierra LaMar: Anatomy of a Search Day 13

 ::snipping2::

The search effort is in transition. KlaasKids is turning direct management over to community leaders and assuming a support and assistance role because we don’t have adequate staff to devote full time to the multiple cases that we are involved with. We brought Brad back this week because the response to the Sierra search has been so massive and the 49ers have been so openly supportive. We were concerned about an overwhelming response so Brad and his mapping team planned for as many as 1,000 volunteers.

Four of those searchers turned out to be 49er tight end Delanie Walker, quarterback Alex Smith and his wife Elizabeth, backup quarterback Scott Tolzien, and tackle Joe Staley who really is as large as a redwood tree. All of them were assigned to Michael Le’s search team.

When Michael’s team came back hours later I asked him how things went. He said that, “They were really awesome. And you know what? I wasn’t intimidated by them or anything,” Mike said, “but boy are they massive. It’s like they could snap me like a toothpick. They were extremely thorough and enthusiastic and they followed all their instructions. When I told them to hold the line, they held the line. When I asked them to dig into the brush they did. Even their wives and girlfriends dug deeply into the brush. They called me over when they found something relevant or suspicious. They did seem kind of anti-media though. Somehow, a couple of the media truck figured out where we were and started dogging us. It was a tough search, but I know that my team was thorough.”

Another team, searching a high probability area was looking in outbuildings when they found a barn full of a dozen malnourished and filthy pigs in dilapidated pens.  The team leader reported the find to Santa Clara Animal Control, only to be told that they would not be able to respond until Monday. It turns out that there are only three animal control officers assigned to the 1,500 square mile County. In the old HBO television show Deadwood they used to throw dead bodies into the pigpen to make them disappear.

These were but two of 53 teams consisting of 600 volunteers that were dispatched for today’s search. Every morning begins with such hope and ends with such frustration. Regardless of how many volunteer show up and how much terrain is covered, and as successful as this effort seems, at the end of the day Sierra LaMar is still missing.

Sierra LaMar: Anatomy of a Search - Commonalities

 ::snipping2::

Sierra 3/16/12
It was 56°F and raining outside when Sierra LaMar disappeared after leaving her home on Paquita Espana Ct. Morgan Hill, CA shortly after 7:00 a.m. She has not been seen since. Morgan Hill is approximately 60 miles from Fort Ord, CA where Christina Williams was kidnapped and murdered, and 13.6 miles from the location where Teresa was kidnapped and raped. Sierra LaMar is a petite fifteen-years-old with long black hair and big brown eyes.

LAMAR: No, no.

GRACE: To Marlene Lamar, this is Sierra`s mom. Now, you have a boyfriend. Does he live in the home?

MARLENE LAMAR, SIERRA LAMAR`S MOTHER (via telephone): Yes, and he`s been cleared as a suspect. And so I just want to focus on her search and, you know, continue the questioning. You know, I just want to say that. He`s been cleared as a suspected.

GRACE: I`m glad to know that. As a matter of fact, I already knew that and had not planned to ask you any questions regarding him as a suspect. But since you have now brought it up, Miss Lamar, you told me no one else was in the home that morning. Where was he?

LAMAR: He -- he left before me. That morning.

GRACE: So he was in the home that morning?

LAMAR: Yes. But he had left before me.

GRACE: OK. Because you earlier told me no one else was in the home but you and sierra.

LAMAR: Well, he left. I`m sorry. I`m still in shock by everything I heard on your show. But he left after me. So the sheriffs know all the information.

<snipped>

GRACE: Back to Marlene Lamar. Did the boyfriend leave the home before or after you?

LAMAR: He left before me. He left before me.

GRACE: And he was gone, what, to work?

LAMAR: Yes, so me and Sierra were alone in the house, because he did leave before me. And he`s not --

GRACE: OK, and he logged into work on time, correct?

LAMAR: He`s cleared. And I just think it`s wrong to talk about this when we need to talk about, you know, the real situation of where --

GRACE: OK, Miss Lamar, I`m sure that you just heard Marc Klaas state, as did I, that police look first at family, friends, acquaintances, neighbors, delivery people. And what viewers are trying to help find Sierra. So when they have questions of this nature. I`m sure that there are innocent answers.

LAMAR: Yes. I know that`s part of this.

GRACE: I`m concerned at you being so defensive about it. If he left that morning and went to work. Great. But by you continually throwing up roadblocks, that`s what is causing the problem.

LAMAR: No, I`m not. I want to find -- we both want to find my daughter.

The inability of Sierra's mother to keep her story straight on the April 6th Nancy Grace show causes me to speculate that Rick Gardiner ... out of a misguided sense of love ... was involved in covering up a tragic happening following a confrontation Marlene had with her daughter prior to the dawning of March 16th.  In other words ... if Rick's actions were revealed ... actions that took place after Marlene left for work at 6:00 AM which established her alibi ... Marlene would go down.  IMO

Could it be that that Rick Gardiner has been advised by legal representation not to take a polygraph?  Could it be that Rick Gardiner is not longer "co-operating" with investigators?

The night before Sierra disappeared, Danielle LaMar left Sacramento State for spring break and joined her father at his Fremont townhouse. On their way back from dinner, Sierra, a 5-foot-2-inch brunette, called. They put her on speakerphone.

"She was talking about how she wanted to get her hair done the next time she went to Fremont. She wanted to add some blond streaks," Danielle LaMar said. "She was very excited about one of her school assignments, telling me about her research paper. Bringing up her grades made her happy."

Making the case even more complicated is that her father, a computer engineer, is a registered sex offender. He pleaded no contest in 2009 to "lewd acts" with a minor younger than 14 after he fondled a friend of his older daughter's at a slumber party in 1999. ....

LaMar said when his daughter disappeared Friday, he immediately told police about his criminal background "in the interests of openness, truthfulness and cooperation."

Sierra's sister, Danielle LaMar, 21, said despite her father's conviction and her parents' divorce, the family of four remains tight-knit. "I've always been really close with my dad," she said.

Family of Sierra LaMar announces $10,000 reward; 49ers' Alex Smith participates in search

Posted:   04/09/2012 06:48:32 AM PDT

 ::snipping2::

Sierra's father, Steve LaMar, said the family scraped together the reward money through fundraisers and donations to an account set up with Chase bank. "We're hoping it might give someone the motivation to come forward," he said. "We're desperate for anything that can bring her home to us."

The search effort is being aided by thousands of volunteers; by the families of other Bay Area youngsters who have been kidnapped and killed, including those of Polly Klaas and Xiana Fairchild; and by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith. On Saturday, Smith and teammates Joe Staley, Delanie Walker and Scott Tolzien were among about 500 people combing southern Santa Clara County for signs of Sierra.

The football players were led by Michael Le, whose sister, Michelle, was killed last year, allegedly by a jealous former friend.

The NFL stars made it clear they did not welcome the media attention, but Sierra's sister, Danielle, was grateful for the celebrity support. "When those kinds of people get involved, it gives us a whole new audience," she said.

While I don't think that Sierra's mother nor her live in boyfriend had anything to do with Sierra's disappearance, I certainly think that those closest to her all need to be questioned and investigated.  Any one is suspect as we have all seen in these cases.
My feeling though is that she went with someone that she met online or a stranger who possibly had seen her walking and kidnapped her...

If it was someone online...they would have some leads from her computer! IMO...it was someone who saw her out there alone and new her routine...someone going to work or coming to work.

Yeah only 0.03 on Sunday the 18th (when they were found) and they were found at around 1pm according to the reports. So did it rain before that - say between Saturday (no rain) and 1pm Sunday (only 0.03) or did it rain after they found the books/purse on Sunday?

If they were "wet" then they could have been placed there Friday (rainy according to Sheriff). If they were dry - then placed there possibly Saturday/early early Sunday)

If damp and it had "rained" before they found them at 1pm then possibly again Saturday/Sunday.

I want to know if everything was "wet"!

Also just a follow up to the post, if the purse and books were "thrown" from the car, they wouldn't have been wedged between the cactus and building. I think they were "placed" there. Most kids; I know I did when I was in school, also tuck papers in the pages, so they would have gone airborn.

Nevermind...New Yorker, Lebaron, Dynasty...they all look alike! My friends mom had a white New Yorker in high school...could have sworn that's what it was!


I believe you are correct.  It looks like a Chrysler emblem to me.

Tamikosmom, what is your theory on what happened to SL if Rick is the perp?  I mean how do you think the timeline went down as well as the clothes, purse, books and the fact she totally disappeared?  Everyone has to be looked at and every theory has to be put to the test (friend, stranger, planned, abducted, family, local)  IMO Marlena's words were simple mistakes, confusion and not necessarily deceitful.  I really believe that, but that is not saying Rick didn't have something to do with it either.  I'm just curious HOW he could have done it.  TIA

I agree sassifras, remember when Nancy Grace first reported about purse she used the term "secreted away" or from what I took of it intentionally hidden.  Another thing that stood out to me is that the building (if I mapped the right one) and the other buildings right across from it are the only real structures on that stretch of road until you get to what looks like a fairly well to do subdivision. 

(Note:  I think the Google maps are probably old, but my comments are based on what I can see on them.)

If you were on Santa Teresa and turned the other way on Laguna it sort of dead ends into what looks like a dirt road driveway to a house.  But there looks to be dirt roads all behind that one house in that area.

I can see why they would throw the phone out, not getting tracked.  But why were these items found so close?  Seems like they could have been thrown out a lot further away, or burned or disposed of in other ways without leaving a trace?

 ::MonkeyConfused::

jmo


Being able to navigate a little better today with the Google map, I think this is the building across the street from where the purse/books were found.  If they were "hiding" the purse and books, imo they would have been easy to hide in there.  But maybe they wanted them to stay out in the weather hoping to destroy evidence?  But again...aren't there other ways that could have been done that would be more effective?

kippy

My theory at this point in time is that there was no perp.  When Sierra's angry tweets of March 15th are consided ... could it be that Sierra tragically met her demise prior to the dawning of March 16th following a confrontation with her mother?  Could it be out of a misguide sense of love ... Rick participated in a cover up following Marlene's departure from the home at 6:00 AM ... a cover up which included an electronic manipulation that implied Sierra was alive and well at 6:29 AM and 7:11 AM ... a cover up which included the planting of the Juicy bag which Marlene neatly packed.

The disappearing of Sierra?  Has Marlene's vehicle been forensically tested?  Has Rick's vehicle been forensically tested?  Both had all day to do what had to be done.

It appears to me that on the NG show Marlene is protecting Rick for some reason.  I do not think she would be protecting Rick if he had harmed her daughter.  In other words ... could protecting Rick be protecting herself.

Somehow ... I believe that Rick is the smoking gun.  When he talks ... a plea deal will be involved but ... the truth will be revealed.

IMO

Aired April 6, 2012 - 20:00   ET

GRACE: OK, Miss Lamar, I`m sure that you just heard Marc Klaas state, as did I, that police look first at family, friends, acquaintances, neighbors, delivery people. And what viewers are trying to help find Sierra. So when they have questions of this nature. I`m sure that there are innocent answers.

LAMAR: Yes. I know that`s part of this.

GRACE: I`m concerned at you being so defensive about it. If he left that morning and went to work. Great. But by you continually throwing up roadblocks, that`s what is causing the problem.

LAMAR: No, I`m not. I want to find -- we both want to find my daughter.

Thank you Janet..that is quite plausible.  If something happened the night before, they would have had all night to put the handbag where it was found and nobody would have even noticed.

Regarding the tweet of the car picture...I don' t know why Clair took her post down but the original poster of the picture and the one who met with investigators was another friend (Breanna) and she still has it posted as well as several replies from her friends.  I'm only posting this to clear up any confusion..Clair was not the original "tweeter".

If it's true that urine was found on found on her clothing that would indicate extreme fear or death, assuming it is Sierra's urine.  Bodily fluids are released at death or a person might wet themselves during a moment of intense fear.

If urine was found on her clothing then I tend to discount that her mother or stepfather had anything to do with their missing daughter as they would have gotten rid of the clothing along with the body.

I'm leaning more and more toward a stranger abduction or someone she barely knew.  I can see her mother innocently getting tongue tied during an interview on national tv while being interviewed about her missing daughter.

I struggle to put together a scenario where Marlene and/or Rick would neatly fold Sierra's clothes and hide them near their own home along with her school books and, IMO, a place where they will surely be found.

I think whoever did this is a repeat offender who has never been caught and is playing games with the investigators.

Wow, I hadn't heard about urine found.  When was that brought out?  I definitely am leaning more on a stranger abduction or a nearby neighbor/or visitor of a neighbor that has noticed her before.

Sierra LaMar's Purse, Clothing Found
Thursday, Mar 22, 2012


<snipped>

Cardoza said a pair of pants, a shirt, a bra and a pair of underwear were neatly folded inside a Juicy brand purse. It was not clear if they were the clothes Sierra put on the morning she was last seen or if they were something she brought along with her. He said they contained no forensic evidence that pointed to a crime or a person of interest in the case. They said they did not release the information earlier because they were waiting on forensic evidence analysis.

Cardoza would not confirm reports that the purse or clothing had urine on it. "The specific details on the condition of the clothing - whether they were wet or had urine on them - we are holding that specific detail as confidential," Cardoza said.

She was at MHPD late yesterday afternoon for an artists rendering of the man and a description one the vehicle - a green truck. No idea if it's tied to the case, but they should at least get the info out there for people to be aware. I don't know of any way to get the sketch Nadine.

Karen Mountz-TitusI didn't read it, it's my niece. She was approached Thurday afternoon by someone driving a green truck. He stopped and asked her to get inside - she froze, he started to get out and she ran to the nearest house. She was at MHPD late yesterday afternoon for an artists rendering of the man and a description one the vehicle - a green truck. No idea if it's tied to the case, but they should at least get the info out there for people to be aware. I don't know of any way to get the sketch Nadine. It's police property and they will do with it what they want, which is apparently nothing at this point!!!

Thanks Amy's sister! Apparently there was an attempted abduction in Santa Cruz also. I know it's not Santa Clara, but it's only about 43 minutes away.

Man grabs girl on her morning walk to Harbor High School

By Stephen Baxter - Santa Cruz Sentinel
Posted:   02/27/2012 05:04:28 PM PST


LIVE OAK - Deputies released a sketch Monday of a man who allegedly grabbed a 15-year-old girl on her way to Harbor High School.

About 8:15 a.m. Monday, the girl was walking on 17th Avenue near Rodriguez Street, said sheriff's deputy April Skalland. An unshaven man in what was described as a "rusty red" 2-door Ford pickup drove slowly by her and stopped.

He jumped out of the truck wearing a red-and-brown plaid hooded sweatshirt, tan work pants and tan boots. He spoke to her in Spanish and grabbed her, Skalland said.

The girl could not understand the man. She broke free of his grip and continued to school.

The girl told authorities the man followed her all the way to Harbor High at 300 La Fonda Ave. in Santa Cruz.

The suspect was described as a light-skinned Latino or white man about 20 to 23 years old. He was about 5 feet 9 inches to 6 feet tall with a medium build. He had dark brown hair and brown eyes.

"Ford" was written in white letters on the pickup's tailgate.

Sierra LaMar's Purse, Clothing Found
Thursday, Mar 22, 2012


<snipped>

Cardoza said a pair of pants, a shirt, a bra and a pair of underwear were neatly folded inside a Juicy brand purse. It was not clear if they were the clothes Sierra put on the morning she was last seen or if they were something she brought along with her. He said they contained no forensic evidence that pointed to a crime or a person of interest in the case. They said they did not release the information earlier because they were waiting on forensic evidence analysis.

Cardoza would not confirm reports that the purse or clothing had urine on it. "The specific details on the condition of the clothing - whether they were wet or had urine on them - we are holding that specific detail as confidential," Cardoza said.

Crime Lab is Processing Evidence in Sierra LaMar Case

April 9, 2012

Evidence collected in the Sierra LaMar case is being processed by criminalists with the Santa Clara County Crime Lab, which is conducting forensic testing as investigators follow up on more than 1,200 tips that have come in through phone calls and emails, officials said.

 ::snipping2::

Police and supporters such as KlaasKids Foundation have continued to expand their search areas looking for clues into the disappearance of the Sobrato High School teen.

More than 7,500 man hours have been logged in the case that is being conducted by federal and local law enforcement agencies, according to Santa Clara County Sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Jose Cardoza.

GRACE: To Sheriff Laurie Smith, the relatively unweathered box containing -- once containing steel handcuffs and used condoms -- how far away from the school bus stop were they found?

SMITH: I would guess probably about a half a mile. And those items are at the lab now. We`re doing DNA testing on the condoms, and we`re anxiously awaiting any kind of forensic analysis on everything that we have submitted to the lab.

GRACE: What else have you submitted, Sheriff?

SMITH: We`ve submitted the telephone. We`ve submitted the clothing and bag that was found. We have submitted samples from Sierra. So there`s a great amount of items being processed right now for DNA, for fingerprints, for trace evidence.

It is very confusing...one person in Le (Cardoza?) said that they did not find anything on the clothing...and then the sheriff said on Friday that they do not have any results at all back yet...

Maybe they do not want a potential suspect to know that they have some results back? And are waiting for DNA still? No way the lab would hold up results, if they had some, while waiting on others...that would be ridiculous...

Yes it was a reporter or at least someone at a press conference.

I definitely do remember when the story was first broke about the clothing and the reporter did say there was urine on them.  Now the reporter could be wrong but it was said by that person on the national news.

LE won't confirm that there was urine found on the clothes in the bag. 

hmm...that's telling.

I also noticed his wording when asked about fingerprints or dna found on the bag.  He said that they had not found anything to point to a person of interest.  That's telling me that they've found something and the perp just isn't in the system.

They also won't comment on which side of the road the bag was found on.
Bumping this up.  I watched the news conference and this is what I posted at the time.  It was very telling that when asked directly about urine on the clothing, the spokesperson said that they would not confirm it.

So I went in search of the original source of this information and could not find it, however reputable reporters are suggesting it as fact.  I wonder if this was leaked information LE doesn't want released?

How soon after a crime should the composite drawing be done?

The sooner the better: Academic studies have shown that if a sketch is completed within 24 hours, it significantly improves the accuracy of the image, and dramatically increases the chance that the suspect will be identified.

I agree.

However ... the same reasoning would apply in regards to simple questions presented to Marlene Lamar and Sheriff Smith on the NG April 6th show in regards to Rick Gardiner.  Simple answers would have sufficed.

Viewers of the show learned that on the morning of March 16th ... Rick allegedly left for his work prior to Marlene leaving the home for her workplace in Fremont.  However ... we still don't know where Rick works and ... we do not know what time he arrived at that elusive workplace.

LAMAR: Yes, so me and Sierra were alone in the house, because he did leave before me. And he`s not --

LAMAR: He`s cleared. And I just think it`s wrong to talk about this when we need to talk about, you know, the real situation of where --

GRACE: OK, Miss Lamar, I`m sure that you just heard Marc Klaas state, as did I, that police look first at family, friends, acquaintances, neighbors, delivery people. And what viewers are trying to help find Sierra. So when they have questions of this nature. I`m sure that there are innocent answers.

LAMAR: Yes. I know that`s part of this.

GRACE: I`m concerned at you being so defensive about it. If he left that morning and went to work. Great. But by you continually throwing up roadblocks, that`s what is causing the problem.

LAMAR: No, I`m not. I want to find -- we both want to find my daughter.

GRACE: OK. Let`s ask the sheriff. Sheriff, did he report to work on time that morning?

SMITH: We just can`t release information or evidence about the case. And we really can`t comment on that.

GRACE: Henry K. Lee, do you know where he worked?

LEE: I do not

GRACE: To Marc Klaas, do you know where the boyfriend worked and did he report to work on time? It`s really very simple.

KLAAS: I don`t know where he works.

GRACE: I`d like to just get simple answers to simple questions so we can then move on.

She thanked me as she walked down the steps, her arms full of textbooks. She seemed so happy and in great spirits. I refuse to believe she just walked out on her life and everyone who loves and cares about her. We need to find and bring her home where she belongs. Please don't stop praying for her safe return.

Marlene had a 45 minute commute to Fremont.  The implication is that she began work at 7:00 AM.  An 8 hour day would have her leaving at 3:00 PM and ... home before 4:00 PM.

GRACE: You know, I was wondering where her books and papers and homework was. Would it have been in this bag?

LAMAR: I would see her carrying some things when, you know -- you know, when she would return from school, I would see her carrying the bag and I would see her carrying the notebook and her school books separately. But then she also put things in her bag, as well, that would fit in there.

GRACE: So she used it kind of like a backpack sometimes?

LAMAR: She would just put it on her shoulder because it was a good -- medium-sized purse.

kristipartyof5 TY, so im sure sierra prob carried 2 bags,a purse bag,and a larger
shoulder bag for books,JMO
I think her mom said she would carry her books/notebooks in her hand! I live in Gilroy...about 15 minutes away from where SL lived. I'm not sure about her school...but here the kids have a set of books that they leave at school and a set that they leave at home.

I wonder how her mom would even know, if she left at 6am every day...
My husband leaves for work every day before my boys are even awake...but there have been days he started late or didn't go and decided to drive them to school so I didn't have too...or he would get off early and pick them up from school to surprise them....he's familiar with their routine...just as her mom may be.

True, plus I think Marlene would have noticed if Sierra had a backpack (even if it was one she didn't buy for her) or other bag that Sierra carried her books in.  From years of my boys using a backpack...everything's in there so she would have been getting things out of it to do homework or putting things in it to take to school.  Or it may have been something that was dropped by the door if she didn't have homework for the next day.

Some possibilities, just can't imagine her having one and Marlene not noticing it.

JMHO

In the last couple years my youngest was in high school, they also had a set of books for at home as well as one for at school.  This was after lockers were ripped out and the kids were having to carry everything around with them all day.  I guarantee you their backpacks weighed over 50 lbs!  It was crazy!

Chelsea Hoffman is the furthest thing from a respectable journalist there could be, in my opinion...she prints whatever she feels she can get away with...no one called the clothes "urine-stained" as far as I know except for her...and she is not a "journalist"...

No idea what you're basing your opinion on, but you're certainly entitled to it.

However, I don't agree.

I am basing it on the many rumors she reports as facts...she did the same in the Holly Bobo case and others...if a rumor pops up, she reports it, as though it were part of the factual story.

thanks monkeys,because the books and J-bag, were wedged,it led me to think the books
could have been dumped from a bag/pack,my kid mentioned something else,there was no
mention of makeup,wallet,pen,pencil case/bag,gum, hairclips,comb,keys ,having been found
------------------------------
A day later, search teams found her cell phone off the side of the road near Santa Teresa Boulevard and Scheller Avenue, in the opposite direction of the bus stop. The day after that, they found her Juicy Couture-brand purse - the only item known to be with Sierra at the time of her disappearance - near Santa Teresa and Laguna Avenue, a short distance from where her phone was found.
 
Inside were the neatly folded pair of pants, undergarments and gray San Jose Sharks sweatshirt her family believes she may have been wearing the day she disappeared, authorities said. Also found near the bag were Sierra's schoolbooks, said Sheriff Laurie Smith, adding the purse, clothes and books were found together "wedged between a building and a big cactus" or bush.
 
On March 29, searchers found an empty handcuff box and used condoms at the dead end of Palm Avenue, within 2 miles of the teenager's home. Authorities have cautioned that the area where the items were found had been searched at least five times before and that the location is known as a teen hangout spot. Investigators are "anxiously awaiting" the results of forensic testing of those items, the sheriff said.

if they were not in the home; then why haven't we found her inhalers?

I have issues with mom in this case; she let one sex offender into her life; did she attract another?  Who IS Rick Gardiner?  What kind of construction and did he really show up for work that day?  LE won't answer.  Ms LaMar won't answer either.  I don't care who has passed a LDT I don't believe in them. 

Ppl can be very skilled and pass them; they cannot be used against you or entered into evidence.  They in no way clear the boyfriend Rick Gardiner in this case.  Where is he from; what is his past and where is his criminal check as well as work info for that morning.  Where is mom's info and was she late to work?

Something about Ms LaMar isn't setting well with me.  She has referred to her own daughter in the past tense and she has never once stated what her relationship was like.  What topics she does choose to speak on really bother me.  Something is wrong here and it started in that home.

Sierra LaMar Search Continues
Wednesday, Apr 11, 2012


<snipped>

In just over an hour, the Klaaskids Foundation will launch another volunteer search for the 15-year-old girl who disappeared before heading off to Sobrato High three Fridays ago.

Since then, more than 3,000 volunteers have helped law enforcement agencies search several miles around her home.

Friends and neighbors have scrounged together $10,000 dollars for a reward leading to information about LaMar's whereabouts.

Investigators have received more than 1,200 tips, but still don't have a much better idea of what happened to her. They believe she was most likely abducted, but don't know who was involved or where she ended up.

The public can register for the volunteer search between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. today at Burnett Elementary at 85 Tilton Ave. Searchers must be 18 years old.

The Klaaskids Foundation will also conduct searches this Saturday and Sunday.

I agree.

Considering I find it difficult to believe that Marlene would be defending Rick if she thought for one minute that there was a possibility that he harmed her daughter ... I contend that ... out of a misguided sense of love for his girlfriend ... Rick became a participant in a cover up that took place following the demise of Sierra in the hours prior to the dawning of March 16th.

In other words ... Could it be that Marlene is protecting herself when she appears to be protecting Rick in both the March 23rd and April 6th NG shows?

Has the elusive Rick retained legal representation?  Could it be if a plea deal is afforded and Rick talks ... the house of cards will collapse ... the house of cards regarding the happenings encompassing a confrontation between mother and daughter ... a confrontation that unintentionally ended tragically?

Think about Sierra's angry tweets of March 15th.

melisb

I read that Sierra lived with her father in Fremont prior to the move to Morgan Hill.  I will find and post the article.  I do not know if Rick was living with Marlene in her Fremont home.

Your theory would make perfect sense to me IF Marlene was going up one side of Rick and down the other demanding to know the truth.

It is Marlene's upholding of Rick that I cannot comprehend when all the simple questions regarding his whereabouts on the morning of March 16th do not appear to have simple answers.  This is what makes me think that it is Rick who is protecting Marlene ... it is Rick who is involved in a cover up following a tragic incident that occured prior to the dawning of March 16th.  In other words ... Rick is a witness who has the ability to bring Marlene down and escape legal consequences in regards to his participation in a cover up if he cooperates with investigators.

melisb ... when the disappearing of Sierra is considered ... I also believe that Rick's vehicle should be seized and forensically tested.  However ... when Marlene's 40 mile commute to Fremont on the morning of March 16th is considered ... I contend ... in the process of elimination ... in the persuit of truth ... both Marlene and Steve's vehicles should be seized and forensically tested.  Rick may not be the only person protecting Marlene.

I am still on the fence in my speculating as to whether Steve and Danielle have knowledge of the truth ... if Steve was also a participant a cover up to protect Marlene.

melisb ... do the following words of the "close-knit" family appear to be part of a script?

LAMAR: It was just a routine day. She was going to -- you know, she was, you know, getting ready for school. But the previous evening, on Thursday evening, she was excited about doing an English paper for her classroom and doing the research on it.

The night before Sierra disappeared, Danielle LaMar left Sacramento State for spring break and joined her father at his Fremont townhouse. On their way back from dinner, Sierra, a 5-foot-2-inch brunette, called. They put her on speakerphone.

"She was talking about how she wanted to get her hair done the next time she went to Fremont. She wanted to add some blond streaks," Danielle LaMar said. "She was very excited about one of her school assignments, telling me about her research paper. Bringing up her grades made her happy."

Making the case even more complicated is that her father, a computer engineer, is a registered sex offender. He pleaded no contest in 2009 to "lewd acts" with a minor younger than 14 after he fondled a friend of his older daughter's at a slumber party in 1999. ....

LaMar said when his daughter disappeared Friday, he immediately told police about his criminal background "in the interests of openness, truthfulness and cooperation."

Sierra's sister, Danielle LaMar, 21, said despite her father's conviction and her parents' divorce, the family of four remains tight-knit. "I've always been really close with my dad," she said.

Deputies Reviewing Sonar Images from Reservoirs in Search For Sierra LaMar
Posted: Apr 11, 2012 12:06 PM CDT Updated: Apr 11, 2012 12:13 PM CDT

MORGAN HILL, Calif- The latest in the search for a missing Morgan Hill teen has the Santa Clara Sheriff's Office Underwater Search and Rescue Team reviewing sonar images from Chesbro and Uvas Reservoirs.
 
The sonar was taken in a search of the reservoirs earlier this week, said deputies. When the analysis of the imagery is complete, divers will be sent in later this week to investigate any suspicious objects that were detected.
 
At this time, the search for Sierra is concentrated on the Chesbro and Uvas reservoirs due to the close proximity to Sierra LaMar's mother's home in Morgan Hill.

Almost one month since the disappearance of Sierra Lamar and ... the local Sheriff's Department concedes the investigation has not gone forward.

Could it be that it is time for the FBI to take over and ... in the process of elimination ... pursue other investigative avenues that have yet to be traveled ... investigative avenues the reach beyond the claims of Marlene Lemar that Sierra was alive and well at 6:00 AM on the morning of March 19th ... investigative avenues thr reach beyond the electronic tweet and text that suggest that Sierra was alive and well at 6:29 AM and 7:11 AM on the morning of March 19th?

During the course of the investigation, the department has received more than 1,200 tips from the public, some reporting possible sightings of Sierra and others urging them to check various areas.

Authorities need all the help it can get, Cardoza said.

"We're depending a lot on tips and information from the public, because we do not have a person of interest and we have not yet confirmed the circumstances regarding her disappearance," he said.

“Sierra, it has been a month too long and you are on my mind every second of the day. I miss being weird and goofy with you. I miss mimicking everything you do and laughing until we practically pee our pants. I miss hearing you call me sissy, just like you’ve been calling me since you were a baby. I miss making fun of mom and dad with you. I miss yelling at you for making a mess in the bathroom and borrowing my clothes. I miss teasing you about boys and confiding in you with my own problems even though your 6 years younger than me. I miss you blasting your rap music in my car and you making fun of me for listening to country. I miss saying our “phrases” that we would only say around each other and laughing at stupid stuff that isn’t funny to anyone but us. I miss hearing you rap to Nicki Minaj and Drake. I miss all your weird crazy laughs and your feisty personality. I miss everything about you. I know your strong and you will fight until we bring you home. I will never lose hope and will pray you make your way home safe until you do. I love you so much lil sister and can’t wait to see you again.”

That post from Danielle is heartbreaking! :(

Had a short search today...property owner did not want us tromping around on her hay fields...She stated that the area had previously been searched, which it had, and assured us that her husband and son have been searching the property daily. I had a chance to drive by the structure on Laguna where SL's bag was found...had an uneasy feeling driving down that road...most of the houses near Dougherty were beautiful but a few were really dilapidated and creepy. Not sure if I'll be able to go out again this weekend....but I'll help when I can!

I see her in silver creeks not sure what this is but some one in the area might understand it. I'm so sorry but i believe she was then murdered here and left with out really burring or trying to find her. The area I feel is Richmond avenue and I see lots of corrugated iron roofs so it could be a farm I also see 3 lakes  and caravan park or holiday park lots of caravans  park and Hope it helps x

Kristi, I'm sorry I don't follow any of the psychic's but what are your thoughts if any of the areas she is describing?  Are they at all familiar to you, such as the Richmond Ave., or the 3 lakes?  I take it she must be talking about RV parks - Caravan parks? 

I realize a lot of what she is describing as far as fields and farms are spread throughout many miles there but you never know, I guess its kind of the toss of the coin when it comes to psychics?

Divers use sonar to search reservoir for missing teen

SANTA CLARA Co., Calif. —

The search for missing teenager Sierra LaMar went underwater after sonar detected areas of concern earlier this week.

Thursday's underwater search of the Chesbro Reservoir was slow and methodical as divers from the Santa Clara Sheriff's Office were tethered to deputies on land by a rope because of the murky conditions.

Peter Robinson, a diver with the sheriff's department, described the search conditions as dark with about 2 feet of visibility.

Unless it has been learned by authorities that Rick Gardiner returned after he allegedly left the home prior to 6:00 AM ... unless there is an unreported witness ... my take is  that Sierre Lamar was last seen by her mother on the morning of March 16th to commute 40 miles to Fremont.  At that time Marlene claims there was an exchange of warm and fuzzies between her and her daughter.

The morning dynamics in our household were much different.  Rushing out the door ... I would be yelling back at my teenage kids ... "Get out of bed this minute!" "Consider yourselves warned ... if you miss that bus again ...!"  "Don't forget to lock-up!"  "No ... you may not wear those jeans you just bought with holes in the knees."  Maybe ... just maybe ... as an afterthought ... if I had not already shut the door behind me ... my last words would have been "Have a good day"

Divers search underwater for California girl after sonar images detect suspicious objects
Published April 13, 2012


Authorities investigating the disappearance of a California girl searched underwater Thursday after sonar images taken earlier this week detected suspicious objects in a local reservoir.

Sierra LaMar, 15, was last seen early March 16 leaving her Morgan Hill home to walk to a school bus stop.

Divers from the Santa Clara Sheriff's Office began searching the Chesbro Reservoir Thursday after sonar pictures detected areas of concern, Fox affiliate KTVU-TV reported.

"Based on the size and shape and shadowing that we're seeing from the side scan sonar, we'd just like to go back and take a second look at them," Santa Clara County sheriff's Lt. Dan Rodriguez said. "They are larger than normal objects."

The search of local reservoirs, including Chesbro Reservoir and Uvas Reservoir, will continue on Friday, authorities said.
Investigators have said that they think LaMar, a sophomore at Sobrato High School, was likely the victim of an acquaintance abduction.

Kristi ... you have a good heart.  Thank you for your time afforded to the search effort.  My husband's nephew who resides in the San Jose area along with several members of his church has participated in two searches.

Search for Sierra marches on; costs unknown
Four weeks, 7,500-plus hours of searching difficult to put a dollar sign on, authorities say
April 13, 2012

With more than 7,500 personnel hours devoted to the nearly month-long search for missing Morgan Hill teen Sierra LaMar, authorities are saying they haven’t started thinking about how much the investigation might cost in terms of tax dollars.

Even making an estimate of the cost so far would require complicated number-crunching that Santa Clara County hasn’t devoted resources to yet, according to sheriff’s Sgt. Jose Cardoza.

The scores of detectives and deputies working on the case since March 16, the day Sierra, 15, was reported missing, are not only local personnel, but they are assisting the county from other agencies including San Mateo County and the FBI, Cardoza explained.

When those other agencies help out with the search for Sierra and any other case through “mutual aid agreements,” those other agencies pick up those personnel costs without billing the county, Cardoza said.

But whatever the costs are so far, “It’s not going to prevent anything they’re doing” to investigate the case, said Santa Clara County Supervisor Mike Wasserman, who represents the South County district.

“I’ve seen all the organizations and agencies (working on the search) and they’re all working together, and nobody’s talking about dollars,” Wasserman said. “I don’t think in this kind of instance, that things will be curtailed because of cost. People will find a way to do all that’s necessary to find a resolution.”

 ::snipping2::
The founder of the KlaasKids Foundation, a nationwide nonprofit that provides search services to the families of missing children, said the cost to conduct such searches is the last thing he thinks about.

“That’s never been a factor,” said Marc Klaas. The foundation has been in Morgan Hill searching for Sierra LaMar since March 20. Their daily costs are minimal compared to the sheriff’s since they have solicited thousands of volunteers to conduct the searches.

Plus, Klaas noted, efforts rely significantly on donations such as the school district’s donation of the closed Burnett Elementary School for use as a temporary volunteer search headquarters, a $12,000 donation from Intero Realty, plus countless smaller donations of supplies such as food and bottled water from individuals, clubs and businesses.

Klaas said the most immediate financial impact is often felt by the families of the missing persons, who often take time off work to search for their loved ones.

“They suffer in many ways resulting from this kind of thing,” Klaas said. “Sometimes people even lose their jobs because of these things.”

Kristi ... you have a good heart.  Thank you for your time afforded to the search effort.  My husband's nephew who resides in the San Jose area along with several members of his church has participated in two searches.

Janet
 
Thanks! I sort of look forward to the day when my kids sleep in...they are all up at the crack of dawn...and even earlier on weekends!  ::MonkeyEek::

Unless backup is afforded ... I consider the claim of when Sierra went missing only speculation.  What has been revealed?  There was an alleged sighting by her mother that Sierra was alive and well at 6:00 AM.  Have investigators considered possibilities that imply that Sierra may never have left her home alive?

Volunteers To Conduct Searches for Sierra Lamar This Weekend 
Fri, 13 Apr 2012


MORGAN HILL (KRON)--Volunteers, led by the KlaasKids Foundation, will be out this weekend conducting searches for evidence into the disappearance of 15-year-old Sierra Lamar who has now been missing for four weeks.

The weekend searches come after sheriff's divers searched the Chesbro Reservoir Thursday and Uvas Reservoir Friday for evidence into the teen's disappearance.

Meanwhile, Sierra's family announced Wednesday the creation of an official website dedicated to the search and safe  return of the teen who disappeared on March 16. The webpage, www.FindSierraLaMar.com, will post new information,  search details and resources as they become available, according to the KlaasKids Foundation, which provides search-and-rescue services for families of missing people.Friends, family and members of the community can leave messages on  the site, which also hosts blog updates from Sierra's family members.

Police say Sierra went missing nearly a month ago, as she walked to a bus stop to go to school. Since her disappearance, volunteers and authorities have conducted extensive searches of the area surrounding Sierra's home.

GRACE: Ms. LaMar, the timeline -- let`s go through that morning again. I`m sure you`ve been through it a million times with the police. What happened that morning?

LAMAR: Well, that Friday morning, I was getting ready to leave for work about 6:00. And I gave her a hug good-bye, like I always do, and wished her a good day. And she did the same to me, you know, said, I love you and have a good day. And I left at 6:00 o`clock

<snipped>

GRACE: ... It`s my understanding that dogs picked up her scent to the bottom of the driveway, is that correct, Sheriff Smith?

SMITH: They did pick up her scent going out of her house. I`m not sure how far the scent had gone. And there`d been a lot of rain and wind that day.

Search Comes Up Empty for Sierra LaMar on Month Anniversary
Sheriff search, but don't find, Sierra LaMar in Uvas reservoir

By Marianne Favro/Lisa Fernandez
|  Friday, Apr 13, 2012  |  Updated 2:55 PM PDT

Santa Clara County Sheriff's investigators and search crews came up empty on Friday on the one-month anniversary of the disappearance of Morgan Hill teenager Sierra Lamar.

Sgt. Jose Cardoza said the underwater search and rescue team did not find the 15-year-old Thursday while they scoured the Chesbro reservoir. And the team also didn't find her on Friday, when they dove to eight spots within the Uvas reservoir.

Sgt. Don Ray, who is in charge of the underwater search, said investigators chose the spots based on a review of sonar images showing objects that seemed out of place.

One of the divers, Peter Robinson, told NBC Bay Area that searching in the reservoir is like diving in darkness, it's almost impossible to see anything. All searches, he said, are based on touch.

Sierra LaMar: Search For Missing California Teen Goes Underwater
April 14, 2012

Nearly a month after her disappearance, the search for missing teen Sierra LaMar has moved underwater.

Divers searched two reservoirs near the teen's Morgan Hill, Calif., home but did not find any signs of the missing cheerleader.

Investigators plan to analyze underwater sonar images taken earlier this week.

Despite the severe weather much of the state experienced on Friday, volunteers plan to spend the weekend searching for LaMar, 15, who disappeared on March 16 while on the way to catch her school bus.

Our family day started with a big breakfast made by my husband, Costco run, walking around the flea market and a hike in Morgan Hill. But our true appreciation for our family came on our hike when we came around a curve and ran into one of the search teams for the missing Sierra Lamar... Take time and appreciate your kids and say a prayer for Sierra! Really hit home for us today...

The Mounting Costs

Considering Sierra Lamar's angry Tweets of March 13th/15th
... what if Sierra Lamar met her demise prior to the dawning of March 16th following an out-of-control confrontation with her mother regarding plans for the weekend?  What if Marlene Lamar  is not being truthful regarding a 6:00 AM contact with her daughter ... a 6:00 AM contact that implied that Sierra was alive and well?
 
Considering Marlene Lamar's upholding of her elusive boyfriend ... what if ... out of a misguided sense of love ... the elusive Rick Gardiner participated in a cover up ... a cover up that involved an electronic staging that deceptively gave the impression that Sierra Lamar was alive and well at 6:29 AM and 7:11 AM ... a coverup that involved the planting of a cell phone and a Juicy bag to indicate a kidnapping ... a Juicy bag which was neatly packed by Marlene Lamar prior to her 6:00 AM departure from the home to embark on a 40 mile commute to Fremont where an ex-husband resides ... an ex-husband with whom Marlene Lamar has a good relationship.
 
Considering the mounting costs of the investigation on so many levels to the California  taxpayer IF the preceding scenario ultimately reflects the truth regarding the happenings encompassing the demise and disappearing of Sierra Lamar ... the Santa Clara County sheriff will have a lot of explaining to do IF those closest to Sierra were not fully investigated prior to being ruled out as persons of interest.
 
In the process of elimination ... in the pursuit of truth ... in the pursuit of justice ...
 
1.  Did Marlene Lamar, Steve Lamar and the elusive Rick Lamar submit to and pass polygraphs regarding  knowledge/actions/whereabouts in the 24 hour period prior to the March 16th 6:30 PM electronic communication that Sierra Lamar's mother received from the school?
 
2.  Were vehicles belonging to Marlene Lamar, the elusive Rick Gardiner and Steve Lamar siezed and forensically tested?  Where cadaver dogs utilized?
 
3.  Were residences and properties connected to Marlene Lamar, the elusive Rick Gardiner and Steve Lamar considered crime scenes and search accordingly?
 
4.  Were cell phone records connected to Marlene Lamar, the elusive Rick Gardiner and Steve Lamar requested and obtained?
 
5.  Were computer hard drives associated with Marlene Lamar, the elusive Rick Gardiner and Steve Lamar analyzed?
 
Why have officials yet to provide simple answers to simple questions ... simplie answers that have the ability to lift the veil of suspicion regarding to those closest to Sierra Lamar.
 
Justice for Sierra Lamar demands that ALL avenues of investigation are travelled.  Embracing only the words of those closest to Sierra Lamar as the gospel truth is a betrayal to those who prayerfully and monetarily support the search effort ... it is a betrayal to the volunteer searchers ... it is a betrayal to the California taxpayer ... it is a betrayal to those whose hard earned bucks are the foundation of the "safe return" reward fund and ... ABOVE ALL ... it is a betrayal of justice for Sierra Lamar.
 
Could it be that one month later ... the time has come for FBI involvement?

With more than 7,500 personnel hours devoted to the nearly month-long search for missing Morgan Hill teen Sierra LaMar, authorities are saying they haven’t started thinking about how much the investigation might cost in terms of tax dollars.

Even making an estimate of the cost so far would require complicated number-crunching that Santa Clara County hasn’t devoted resources to yet, according to sheriff’s Sgt. Jose Cardoza.

The scores of detectives and deputies working on the case since March 16, the day Sierra, 15, was reported missing, are not only local personnel, but they are assisting the county from other agencies including San Mateo County and the FBI, Cardoza explained.

When those other agencies help out with the search for Sierra and any other case through “mutual aid agreements,” those other agencies pick up those personnel costs without billing the county, Cardoza said

The "Safe Return" Reward Fund

Sierra LaMar’s Family Announces Reward For Her Safe Return
April 7, 2012 12:44 PM


MORGAN HILL (KCBS)— The family of missing Morgan Hill teenager Sierra LaMar announced on Saturday a $10,000 reward for the first person with information leading to her safe return.

The money comes as the search for the 15-year-old enters its fourth week. Search teams from KlaasKids Foundation once again headed out from the Sierra LaMar search headquarters at Burnett Elementary.

Sierra’s father Steve LaMar read from a carefully worded flyer to make the morning announcement.

Marc Klaas, whose foundation is leading the search effort and whose daughter Polly was kidnapped and killed in 1993 said Sierra’s family struggled with the wording of the announcement.

Part of their dilemma was whether or not information leading to a person who caused Sierra harm should be included.

“They felt that at this point in time with their hopes still very high, that the only way they wanted to put this reward out was with her safe return,” Klaas said

People can also help by donating supplies and money to assist in the search efforts.

Daily volunteer searches such as those that drew more than 2,000 volunteers last week are “not sustainable” for the foundation for now, Klaas said. On Sunday, more than 500 people showed up to volunteer for the search efforts. The search radius was expanded to 20 miles from Sierra’s north Morgan Hill home.

“We’ve turned the administration of the searches primarily over to the community and family, but we’re going to continue to provide mapping for the search efforts, and our team will be available to come out again as necessary,” Klaas said.

It’s been one month since Sierra LaMar’s parents discovered their 15-year-old Morgan Hill daughter was missing. Tonight, Sierra’s family will hold a special vigil and balloon release at Burnett Elementary, 85 Tilton Ave., at 6:30 p.m. to mark the one-month anniversary.

<snipped>

Burnett has been the headquarters of the volunteer search, led by the KlaasKids Foundation that has received thousands of volunteers to aid in the search from across California.

Santa Clara County Sheriff’s office has dedicated more than 7,500 personnel hours, checking out more than 1,200 leads.

Sierra went missing March 16 on her way to her school bus stop, never making it to the bus or school that Friday morning. Her parents reported her missing around 6 p.m. that day.

Volunteer searches will continue for the missing teen Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at Burnett Elementary.

People can also help by donating supplies and money to assist in the search efforts.

Daily volunteer searches such as those that drew more than 2,000 volunteers last week are “not sustainable” for the foundation for now, Klaas said. On Sunday, more than 500 people showed up to volunteer for the search efforts. The search radius was expanded to 20 miles from Sierra’s north Morgan Hill home.

“We’ve turned the administration of the searches primarily over to the community and family, but we’re going to continue to provide mapping for the search efforts, and our team will be available to come out again as necessary,” Klaas said.

Hi Janet! I hope you're doing well!  ::MonkeyKiss::

I'm a bit confused about your statements. We don't know what LE has done or knows so far; what the poly's uncovered or any physical evidence that has been found.

I totally understand your concerns. The only thing I can see wrt LE's actions, is that they appear to be looking for a "passed on" Sierra. I'm sure what ever has led them to those actions is backed up with some type of evidence. I guess we will have to wait and see.

I appreciate your dedication.  ::MonkeyAngel::

A child sex offender persona implies he is a master deceiver/manipulator.  When I consider Steve Lamar's young victim/s ... when I consider the baggage that each child must carry for a lifetime as a result of stolen innocence ... I am void of compassion for Sierra's father.

This month has truly been a nightmare,” said Steve LaMar, Sierra’s father, in a release by the KlaasKids Foundation. “But our volunteers have given us faith, hope and the perseverance to continue in our search efforts. This balloon release will give us a chance for all of us to get together in prayer for Sierra.”

COSBY: And what happened to little Sierra? This is Rita Cosby, in for Nancy Grace. Let`s go to Ellie Jostad, NANCY GRACE producer. Ellie, what is the deal -- we know that there are no suspects at this hour. No one`s named. But there`s something interesting in the father`s background. He`s got a conviction.

JOSTAD: Right. He does. And the sheriff`s department has confirmed this. We found records on this, as well. Her father is a registered sex offender.

COSBY: Wait, wait, wait! A registered sex offender? What happened?

JOSTAD: That`s correct. This is an incident actually going from 1998 to 2004.

COSBY: Wait, wait, wait! An incident? That sounds like repeated incidents.

JOSTAD: A continued -- right, continuing incident. He was actually charged with 12 counts of lewd or lascivious behavior with a child under 14. He pled no contest...

COSBY: This is Sierra`s father?

JOSTAD: Correct. This is her father. He pled guilty to one of those counts. He served under a year in jail for it. He is now required to register as a sex offender. He does appear on the registry.

THE SAFE RETURN REWARD
 
Could it be that the reward for the "safe return" of Sierra Lamar is nothing but a dog and pony show?
 
Could it be that Marlene and Steve are fully aware that Sierra is deceased but ... when Sierra's angry Tweets of March 13th/15th are considered ... the revealed truth regarding the happenings encompassing a possible out-of-control confrontation between mother and daughter ... an out-of-control confrontation that took place prior to the dawning of March 16th ... has the ability to bring Marlene down.
 
Think about it.  Did the elusive Rick Gardiner witnessed the confrontation between mother and daughter and ... out of a misguided sense of love for Marlene ... became a participant in a cover up ... a coverup up that included an electronic deception to give the impression that Sierra was alive and well at 6:29 AM and 7:11 AM on the morning of March 16th ... a cover up that included the planting of a cell phone and a Juicy bag ... a Juicy bag neatly pack by Marlene prior to her 6:00 AM 40 mile commute to Fremont where her ex-husband resides?
 
Why does the reward stipulate "safe return" of Sierra.  Is the truth ... no matter what that truth may be ... all that matters?

Could it be that Steve and Marlene fear that there would be incentive for Rick Gardiner's attorney to step forward and ... request a plea deal for his client in exchange for the truth ... the truth that would reveal Marlene was involved and ... the truth that would reveal that Steve may have been a participant in the disappearing of his daughter or ... at the very least ... had knowledge.

Logic dictates that the official underwater searches and ... the KlaasKid land searchers imply that investigators must have a suspicion that Sierra Lamar is deceased.

I wish Marc Klaas would challenged the condition of the $10,000 reward fund.

IMO

Sierra LaMar’s Family Announces Reward For Her Safe Return
April 7, 2012 12:44 PM


MORGAN HILL (KCBS)— The family of missing Morgan Hill teenager Sierra LaMar announced on Saturday a $10,000 reward for the first person with information leading to her safe return.

The money comes as the search for the 15-year-old enters its fourth week. Search teams from KlaasKids Foundation once again headed out from the Sierra LaMar search headquarters at Burnett Elementary.

Sierra’s father Steve LaMar read from a carefully worded flyer to make the morning announcement.

Marc Klaas, whose foundation is leading the search effort and whose daughter Polly was kidnapped and killed in 1993 said Sierra’s family struggled with the wording of the announcement.

Part of their dilemma was whether or not information leading to a person who caused Sierra harm should be included.

“They felt that at this point in time with their hopes still very high, that the only way they wanted to put this reward out was with her safe return,” Klaas said

Missing teen Sierra LaMar: Reservoir search to expand this week
April 16, 2012


Authorities in Santa Clara County say they will continue searching local reservoirs for missing teenager Sierra LaMar after a round of dives in local reservoirs came up empty.

Police believe the 15-year-old teen was abducted outside her Morgan Hill home the morning of March 16 as she was going to school. Santa Clara County sheriff’s spokesman Jose Cardoza told The Times that authorities had received more than 1,400 tips and logged about 8,900 personnel hours on the case, but they remain without a person of interest.

Cardoza said Monday that dives into the Chesbro Reservoir and the Uvas Reservoir last week, both within a few miles of Sierra’s home, turned up “nothing related to the case.” Cardoza said Monday that authorities will begin some “pre-operation type work” to prepare for dives later this week into the Calero and Anderson reservoirs.

Those two reservoir are located from five to 10 miles from the home, and Cardoza said they are the only two remaining in the county.

“It’s just to be as thorough as possible,” Cardoza said. “The investigators just want to be sure.”

Crime lab results have given investigators new leads to chase down in the month old disappearance of Morgan Hill teenager Sierra LaMar, police said Monday.

Investigators from the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department, however, declined to say what sort of new information sprang from the lab results, except to say they were drawn from evidence collected so far in the case.

In the days after her abduction police found the 15-year-old's bag and clothing sitting not far from the spot where she vanished. They have also turned up her cell phone and lap top computer

Crime Lab Results for Evidence in Search for Sierra LaMar May Provide Investigators with Information
Posted: Apr 16, 2012 6:53 PM CDT Updated: Apr 16, 2012 6:55 PM CDT

 ::snipping2::
Sgt. Jose Cardoza, spokesperson for the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department, did not specify what items the Sheriff's Department are speaking of but did say that the results they have received are providing investigators with additional leads to follow up.
 
On March 29th, volunteers for the KlassKids Foundation discovered a box labeled 'handcuffs' and some used condoms in an area near the dead end of Palm Avenue.
 
That location is less than a mile away from where Sierra LaMar was last seen on March 16th.
 
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department will not say if the box and condoms are what produced the results investigators are now working on or if they are linked to the Sierra LaMar disappearance.

Sierra LaMar's Purse, Clothing Found

Cardoza said a pair of pants, a shirt, a bra and a pair of underwear were neatly folded inside a Juicy brand purse. It was not clear if they were the clothes Sierra put on the morning she was last seen or if they were something she brought along with her. He said they contained no forensic evidence that pointed to a crime or a person of interest in the case. They said they did not release the information earlier because they were waiting on forensic evidence analysis.

Cardoza would not confirm reports that the purse or clothing had urine on it."The specific details on the condition of the clothing - whether they were wet or had urine on them - we are holding that specific detail as confidential," Cardoza said

GRACE: To Sheriff Laurie Smith, the relatively unweathered box containing -- once containing steel handcuffs and used condoms -- how far away from the school bus stop were they found?

SMITH: I would guess probably about a half a mile. And those items are at the lab now. We`re doing DNA testing on the condoms, and we`re anxiously awaiting any kind of forensic analysis on everything that we have submitted to the lab.

GRACE: What else have you submitted, Sheriff?

SMITH: We`ve submitted the telephone. We`ve submitted the clothing and bag that was found. We have submitted samples from Sierra. So there`s a great amount of items being processed right now for DNA, for fingerprints, for trace evidence.

Underwater searches last week of the Chesbro and Uvas reservoirs came up empty, but police are planning to send dive teams to two other reservoirs later this week, Santa Clara County sheriff’s spokesman Jose Cardoza told the Los Angeles Times.

The Calero and Anderson reservoirs, which have yet to be searched, are located 5 to 10 miles from the girl's home, according to the newspaper.

Authorities also said Monday that test results from a crime lab have yielded new leads in the case, but they declined to reveal the nature of the clues, Fox affiliate KTVU-TV reported.

The girl's cellphone was recovered shortly after her disappearance about three-quarters of a mile from her home after police tracked its electronic ping. Her Juicy brand bag also was discovered a couple of miles from her home, with a pair of her pants and shirt found neatly folded inside it.

Cardoza told the station that the new leads relate to "one of those items," but he did not elaborate.


The girl's family, meanwhile, says it hopes the new clues might bring a break in the case.

Missing teen Sierra LaMar: Authorities inspect new reservoirs
April 17, 2012 |  8:15 am


<snipped>

The search for missing teen Sierra LaMar in Santa Clara County continues as authorities inspect two more reservoirs and likely take solar images of the waterways in further attempts to rake up clues about her disappearance.

Police believe the 15-year-old was abducted outside her Morgan Hill home the morning of March 16 as she was going to school. Santa Clara County sheriff’s spokesman Jose Cardoza told The Times that authorities had received more than 1,400 tips and logged about 8,900 personnel hours on the case, but they remain without a person of interest.

Cardoza said dives into the Chesbro and Uvas reservoirs last week, both within a few miles of Sierra’s home, turned up “nothing related to the case.”

Authorities are now moving onto the Calero and Anderson reservoirs, located five to 10 miles from the home. They are the only two reservoirs remaining in the county, and authorities will likely send out divers late in the week, Cardoza said.

“It’s just to be as thorough as possible,” he said. “The investigators just want to be sure.”

The search to find Sierra — a competitive cheerleader whom friends and family describe as happy and outgoing — has brought together thousands of community volunteers.

GRACE: Back to Marlene Lamar. Did the boyfriend leave the home before or after you?

LAMAR: He left before me. He left before me.

GRACE: And he was gone, what, to work?

LAMAR: Yes, so me and Sierra were alone in the house, because he did leave before me. And he`s not --

GRACE: OK, and he logged into work on time, correct?

LAMAR: He`s cleared. And I just think it`s wrong to talk about this when we need to talk about, you know, the real situation of where --

<snipped>

GRACE: OK, Miss Lamar, I`m sure that you just heard Marc Klaas state, as did I, that police look first at family, friends, acquaintances, neighbors, delivery people. And what viewers are trying to help find Sierra. So when they have questions of this nature. I`m sure that there are innocent answers.

LAMAR: Yes. I know that`s part of this.

GRACE: I`m concerned at you being so defensive about it. If he left that morning and went to work. Great. But by you continually throwing up roadblocks, that`s what is causing the problem.

LAMAR: No, I`m not. I want to find -- we both want to find my daughter.

GRACE: OK. Let`s ask the sheriff. Sheriff, did he report to work on time that morning?

SMITH: We just can`t release information or evidence about the case. And we really can`t comment on that.

<snipped>

GRACE: Henry K. Lee, do you know where he worked?

LEE: I do not

GRACE: To Marc Klaas, do you know where the boyfriend worked and did he report to work on time? It`s really very simple.

KLAAS: I don`t know where he works.  I know what kind of work he does. But I also know that both Rick and Steve have taken and apparently passed polygraph exams

GRACE: I`d like to just get simple answers to simple questions so we can then move on.

I miss mimicking everything you do and laughing until we practically pee our pants. I miss hearing you call me sissy, just like you’ve been calling me since you were a baby. I miss making fun of mom and dad with you. I miss yelling at you for making a mess in the bathroom and borrowing my clothes. I miss teasing you about boys and confiding in you with my own problems even though your 6 years younger than me. I miss you blasting your rap music in my car and you making fun of me for listening to country.

I miss all your weird crazy laughs and your feisty personality. I miss everything about you. I know your strong and you will fight until we bring you home.

Volunteers, Authorities Conducting Searches For Sierra Lamar Wednesday
Wed, 18 Apr 2012 08:18:24 -0800

MORGAN HILL (KRON) -- Volunteers, led by the KlaasKids Foundation, will be out conducting searches for missing teenager Sierra Lamar Wednesday just as sheriff's investigators  hope to wrap up their search of several ground water percolation ponds a few miles from the home where the teen was last seen more than a month ago.

Volunteers will once again gather at Burnett Elementary School in Morgan Hill to conduct another search for the teen. Wednesday's volunteer search comes after investigators, identified several items of interest in reservoirs Tuesday but further investigation from divers shows the anomalies were just rock piles or shadows unrelated to the search for Sierra.

The 15-year old girl was last seen in March when she was supposed to walk to catch a school bus not far from her Morgan Hill home.  Investigators recovered her purse and cell phone which are among the items of evidence for which the crime lab has expedited the examination.

Detectives say some of those results are promising but remain vague about exactly where the evidence may lead.

"We're not specifying which specific results came back that pertain to which items," Santa Clara County Sheriff's department spokesman Jose Cardoza says.  "It has led to some further information, some further leads that they'll do some follow-up on.  So it may result in a person of interest in the case and it may not.  We just don't at this time.  The detectives today still need to do some follow up in regards to the evidence to see where it goes from there."

"There was no direct hit," Cardoza tells KRON 4's Rob Fladeboe.  "Whatever they got back is from confirmed reports but they don't point 100% to a person of interest or to a suspect which would be more concrete.  It is a possibility that based on the steps they will take that may lead them to that."

Police to expand search of local reservoirs in hunt for 15-year-old Sierra LaMar
April 17, 2012


Authorities also said Monday that test results from a crime lab have yielded new leads in the case, but they declined to reveal the nature of the clues, Fox affiliate KTVU-TV reported.

The girl's cellphone was recovered shortly after her disappearance about three-quarters of a mile from her home after police tracked its electronic ping. Her Juicy brand bag also was discovered a couple of miles from her home, with a pair of her pants and shirt found neatly folded inside it.

Cardoza told the station that the new leads relate to "one of those items," but he did not elaborate.

Cardoza said a pair of pants, a shirt, a bra and a pair of underwear were neatly folded inside a Juicy brand purse. It was not clear if they were the clothes Sierra put on the morning she was last seen or if they were something she brought along with her. He said they contained no forensic evidence that pointed to a crime or a person of interest in the case. They said they did not release the information earlier because they were waiting on forensic evidence analysis.

Cardoza would not confirm reports that the purse or clothing had urine on it."The specific details on the condition of the clothing - whether they were wet or had urine on them - we are holding that specific detail as confidential," Cardoza said

MORGAN HILL, Calif. (KGO) -- It is the second week of intense underwater searching in the case of missing Morgan Hill teen Sierra LaMar. While the dive team hasn't discovered any new evidence, the crime lab is producing something that detectives can work with.

The sheriff's office says Tuesday's dive missions are not related to new leads in the case, but there is relevant new information coming from the crime lab. Preliminary test results are back on evidence in the case.

"Although they're not specifying which evidence items led to these new leads, they are saying that they are positive, they are fruitful and that it has led to some additional leads for them to follow up on," Sgt. Jose Cardoza with the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said.

Volunteer numbers dwindling in search for Sierra LaMar
Updated at 07:16 PM today


MORGAN HILL, Calif. (KGO) -- Despite some new leads, the number of volunteers searching for missing teen Sierra LaMar has been dwindling. The sheriff's dive team returned Wednesday to search some ponds just south of the Coyote Creek Golf Course in Morgan Hill. Organizers at the search center are using new tactics to recruit more volunteers to help.

Search organizers say the media and social media have been instrumental in raising awareness about Sierra's case. While the family is following developments, people behind the scenes at the search center are recruiting volunteers in Spanish.

Sheriff Smith indicates that Sierra never reached the end of the driveway.

My theory implies that Sierra met her demise prior to the dawning of 6:00 AM on the morning of March 16th.  In other words ... Sierra did not leave her home alive.

Could it be that a deceased Sierra was placed in Marlene's vehicle and ... Steve entered the scenario when Marlene allegedly left the home at 6:00 AM on the morning of March 16th for the 40 mile communte to Fremont.

When Sierra's angry tweets of March 15th are considered ... could it be that out of a misguided sense of love ... both Steve and Rick became participants in a cover up when Sierra met her demise following an out-of-control controntation with Marlene ... a cover up that involved an electronic staging (tweet/text) ... a planting of evidence (Juicy bag/cell phone) and ... the disappearing of Sierra.

It would not make sense that Marlene and Steve were not going up one side of the elusive Rick and down the other IF they thought for one minute that he harmed Sierra.

Could it be that that the reason Marlene is relunctant to discuss Steve and the elusive Rick in afforded NG interviews is that both have the ability to bring her down if suspicion is cast on them?

Nevertheless ... I do believe that a plea deal implies that the elusive Rick may be the smoking gun that allows justice to prevail for Sierra.  IMO

A Computer Engineer
 
The stuff of nightmares sets in for family of missing Morgan Hill girl

Making the case even more complicated is that her father, a computer engineer, is a registered sex offender. He pleaded no contest in 2009 to "lewd acts" with a minor younger than 14 after he fondled a friend of his older daughter's at a slumber party in 1999.

But police say Steve LaMar, who is divorced from Sierra's mother and lives in Fremont, is not a suspect and has been fully cooperative with the investigation.

"I understand the stigma associated with this in my background, and I assure everyone it is not connected in any way to my daughter's disappearance," LaMar said in a statement Wednesday. "I ask that you please not shift the focus away from the investigation and from finding Sierra."

Sierra LaMar: Anatomy of a Search Day 17

Most days I lie awake in the wee hours of the morning trying to figure out what happened to Sierra. Was someone familiar with her patterns lying in wait, knowing that she was isolated and vulnerable at 7:15 a.m.? Or, was it a family friend with evil intentions who just happened to be there on the cold, wet and windy morning who offered to drive her to school? If so, is that individual spending time at the search center, and have I shook his hand…repeatedly? It wouldn’t be the first time. In Polly’s case, and this was verified when we did a records check, the killer’s brother in law was lurking around our search center one day. Are any of the volunteers acting out of character? I really have no way of knowing since I have only known them for a couple of weeks. Was it a schoolmate, jealous that the popular new girl was commanding attention meant for her, or perhaps a boy with his own adolescent motivations? I really should try to get some sleep, because without more information we will never know the elusive answer to this very troubling riddle.

Today the search was managed and organized by the community. I was the only member of KlaasKids who was able to make the drive to Morgan Hill to help out. It was cold and wet, not unlike the day Sierra stepped out of her home four weeks ago and vanished in the mist. Only that’s not what really happened.

 ::snipping2::

The temporary debate regarding volunteer burnout was for naught. All in all, 182 searchers were sent out on 15 search parties today. Searches for missing persons, particularly children, are driven much more by a sense of urgency than a probability of volunteer responses. During my first conversation with Sierra’s family I tried to explain that it would take some time to organize those first searches. They were incredulous that we weren’t able to send search parties immediately. That was a difficult conversation for me because I understood exactly what Steve, Marlene and Danielle were feeling: there is no more time to lose. Well, nothing has changed. We are just farther down the road without any idea where Sierra is.

My experience is that the numbers of volunteers will dwindle over time. That is going to happen regardless of whether searches are scheduled once a week or every day of the week. However, that is a gradual process that has not yet begun. There is still a sense of urgency in the community and I think that we should continue to take advantage of opportunity.

It is a matter of relativity. In almost every other case that I have worked, and I am sure that the KlaasKids team will back me up on this, 500+ volunteers turning out to search is unprecedented. However, in Sierra’s case it is status quo. It has happened in virtually every search that has been conducted thus far. Should this week or next week’s numbers dwindle to 200 or even 100 volunteers, we still a significant number of people to cover significant real estate. After all, as much as we are trying to find Sierra we are also eliminating areas where she is not.

Missing teen Sierra LaMar’s Twitter account is hacked
April 19, 2012 |  1:49 pm


Authorities in Santa Clara County say someone fraudulently posted a tweet this week on missing teen Sierra LaMar’s Twitter account.

Sheriff's spokesman Jose Cardoza said the department planned to prosecute the person who posted the fraudulent tweet Wednesday if the crime occurred in California.

Impersonating someone without their consent on social media is a misdemeanor, he said Thursday.

Police believe the 15-year-old was abducted outside her Morgan Hill home the morning of March 16 as she was going to school. Authorities have received more than 1,400 tips and logged about 8,900 personnel hours on the case, Cardoza told The Times.

In the case of the phony tweet, he said, “it takes away from resources is the bottom line,” adding that investigators “have resources” to track down the origin of the tweet.   

He said similar incidents have occurred at least once before, and LaMar’s

Christina Williams Foundation raising money for Sierra Lamar
UPDATED 5:28 PM PDT Apr 19, 2012


MORGAN HILL, Calif. - A Seaside family whose daughter was kidnapped and murdered in a case that shocked the nation is raising money for the Sierra Lamar search effort.

The Christina Williams Foundation is organizing a fundraiser at a Marina gym, Fitness Zone West, that will offer free aerobic classes on Monday to anyone who makes a donation.

"This is something that hits home for our community. We want to do everything that we can to bring her safely home." Travis Stenseth of Fitness Zone said.

<snipped>

Christina Williams, 13, of Seaside, was walking her dog at 7:30 p.m. when she was abducted on June 12, 1998.

Her dog returned home an hour later trailing his leash. It took seven months for search crews and the FBI to find the Fitch Middle School student's body dumped at the former Fort Ord Army Base.
No one has ever been arrested or convicted in Christina's slaying

THE REWARD FUND

Marlene's words to the media as well as on the NG referring to her daughter in the past tense imply that she either knows or she suspects that her daughter is deceased.  Why was the $10,000 reward only offered by Sierra's parents for her "safe return"?  Was there an underlying reason why the reward cannot be redeemed by anybody who comes forward with the confirmed truth; no matter what that truth may be?

Sierra LaMar’s Family Announces Reward For Her Safe Return
April 7, 2012 12:44 PM


MORGAN HILL (KCBS)— The family of missing Morgan Hill teenager Sierra LaMar announced on Saturday a $10,000 reward for the first person with information leading to her safe return.

The money comes as the search for the 15-year-old enters its fourth week. Search teams from KlaasKids Foundation once again headed out from the Sierra LaMar search headquarters at Burnett Elementary.

Sierra’s father Steve LaMar read from a carefully worded flyer to make the morning announcement.

Marc Klaas, whose foundation is leading the search effort and whose daughter Polly was kidnapped and killed in 1993 said Sierra’s family struggled with the wording of the announcement.

Part of their dilemma was whether or not information leading to a person who caused Sierra harm should be included.

“They felt that at this point in time with their hopes still very high, that the only way they wanted to put this reward out was with her safe return,” Klaas said.

Volunteers, Authorities Conducting Searches For Sierra Lamar Wednesday 
Wed, 18 Apr 2012 11:36:12 -0800


MORGAN HILL (KRON) -- Volunteers, led by the KlaasKids Foundation, are out conducting searches for missing teenager Sierra Lamar Wednesday just as sheriff's investigators  hope to wrap up their search of several ground water percolation ponds a few miles from the home where the teen was last seen more than a month ago.

Volunteers have once again gathered at Burnett Elementary School in Morgan Hill to conduct another search for the teen. The focus of the volunteer search will be on land while sheriff's investigators are set to concentrate their searches to waterways.

<snipped>

http://www.kron4.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=3856


Logic dictates that Steve and Marlene realize that the massive water and land searches are not about finding a live Sierra.  Why does the reward stipulate the "safe return" of Sierra?  What is the motivation for someone who has knowledge ... who has involvement ... to step forward with the confirmed truth regarding the happenings encompass the demise of Sierra?

It just doesn't make sense or ... does it?

Detectives Seek to Find Sierra LaMar's Hoax Tweeter
Sierra LaMar, Twitter
By Lisa Fernandez |  Thursday, Apr 19, 2012  |  Updated 1:24 PM PDT

A day after someone hacked into a missing Morgan Hill teen's Twitter account, Santa Clara County Sheriff's detectives are vowing to find the suspect and arrest that person on charges of Internet impersonation.

Sgt. Jose Cardoza confirmed Thursday that someone hacked into Sierra Lamar's twitter account twitter.com/cccairuh and wrote a confusing tweet in reference to a rap song: "By the way, we do punch (expletive)."

Cardoza said detectives were "immediately aware" that the tweet had been posted and quickly confirmed that the tweet was not sent by the teen, who has been missing since March 16. She was last seen walking to her bus stop, but never made it to school that day. Detectives and volunteers have spent thousands of hours searching for her unsuccessfully.

The tweet has since been deleted.

Could the San Jose Sharks shirt be the smoking gun?

“The shirt resembles the shirt she tweeted the Friday she went missing at 6:29 a.m., but we can’t confirm that’s the same shirt,” he said. “Even if she sent that picture we don’t know if it was from that time. It could have been a prior picture that she had on her phone for whatever reason.”

Another daylong Sierra LaMar search scheduled for this weekend
Posted:   04/20/2012 10:45:42 AM PDT
Updated:   04/20/2012 10:46:48 AM PDT


Specialized search and rescue teams skilled at navigating rough terrain will conduct a daylong search Saturday in southern Santa Clara County for missing Morgan Hill teen Sierra LaMar.

The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said it will lead a "refined" search of areas of Morgan Hill, San Martin, and Gilroy, beginning at 9 a.m. and lasting until sunset.

Sheriff's deputies have previously checked the hills and rural areas on dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles.

"This time they will be having foot searches, climbing some of these rough areas," said Sgt. Jose Cardoza of the sheriff's office.

So far, the search efforts have expanded to no more than 12 miles radius of where Sierra was last seen at her home in Morgan Hill, Cardoza said.

The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office will be assisted by search and rescue teams from the San Mateo County, Monterey County, Santa Cruz County, and Marin County sheriff's offices.

About 90 sworn law enforcement officers will take place in Saturday's search, as well as specially trained detection dogs and the sheriff's off-road enforcement unit.

Neighboring Counties Join in Search for Sierra LaMar on Saturday

By Corinne Speckert Email the author 1:24 pm

Search and rescue teams from Santa Cruz, Marin, San Mateo and Monterey counties will participate in a refined search for Sierra LaMar on Saturday.

The neighboring sheriff’s departments are assisting the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department via a mutual aid request, and will re-canvass areas in Gilroy, Morgan Hill and San Martin for clues in the LaMar case.

“What makes this search different is that it’s a little more thorough in terms of some of the areas we’ve checked so far,” Sgt. Jose Cardoza of the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office said. “They’re not new areas we’ll be searching per se, this [will be] just a little more thorough.”

Approximately 90 search and rescue members will be assigned to Saturday’s search, including “high angle rough terrain” members who have special training in repelling, rock climbing and high angles expertise, Cardoza said.

There will also be specially trained detection K9s and personnel from the county’s Off-Road Enforcement Unit. San Francisco 49er’s player Delanie Walker will also be there to support the search efforts and recognize Sheriff's Office personnel for their commitment to the case.

If Sierra was the originator of the 7:11 AM text ... the implicaton is that she was not a runaway.

If Sierra was not the originator of the text ... the implication is that the originator was attempting to give the impression that was alive and well at 7:11 AM.

SHERIFF LAURIE SMITH, SANTA CLARA COUNTRY (via telephone): The photo is actually separate from the text. There was a text message to one of her friends, and her friend answered the text.

GRACE: To Sheriff Laurie Smith with Santa Clara County sheriff`s office. Sheriff Smith, with that text -- let`s see the text again, please, that she sent out the morning she goes missing. She sent this around 7:15 AM. There it is. Was there a message with the photo, Sheriff?

SHERIFF LAURIE SMITH, SANTA CLARA COUNTRY (via telephone): The photo is actually separate from the text. There was a text message to one of her friends, and her friend answered the text. It was nothing that was critical to the investigation. I think she was just asking her to bring something to school.

I agree, Janet.  Seems to me that LE would be looking at that text from every angle, for any possibility.  If this were my child, every single detail about that morning would be critical.  Which leads me to wonder if LE isn't just attempting to downplay to the public any possible significance of that particular text. ??

In regards to the 'hoax' tweet just sent Wed/Thurs from Sierra's twitter account... how did LE so quickly come to the conclusion that this was a hoax?  I've read different reports online, basically saying two seperate things, ead it reported both ways, that LE knows who sent it, and that they are trying to find out who

This is what I meant to post:

Read upthread that Sierra's twitter account was supposedly hacked into, and a tweet sent by accident.  Ummmm... hacking doesn't happen by accident and tweets sent from inside someone else's account isn't typically done by accident either.  One would suppose. 

Just curious about the speed with which LE seemingly has declared this a hoax.  Is there something they know but aren't telling the public? 

(oh surely not!)    ::MonkeyTongue::

Yet if they aren't sure who the hacker is..... and they supposedly have no clue where Sierra is... well then...  :smt102   how would they know it wasn't sent by Sierra or someone on her behalf? 

Ok... gonna quit thinking til morning when I can drink lots of coffee before posting.  lol

Hi Wyks

 ::HelloKitty::

The media reports are confusing.  Do investigators know the identiy of the "hacker" or do they not?

Could the "hacker" be someone who was involved in some capacity and/or has knowledge in regards to the disappearing of Sierra Lamar?  Could it be that this "hacker" was attempting to obstruct the investigation by giving investigators the false impression that Sierra is alive?

The stuff of nightmares sets in for family of missing Morgan Hill girl
03/21/2012 12:22:29 PM PDT

Making the case even more complicated is that her father, a computer engineer, is a registered sex offender. He pleaded no contest in 2009 to "lewd acts" with a minor younger than 14 after he fondled a friend of his older daughter's at a slumber party in 1999.

But police say Steve LaMar, who is divorced from Sierra's mother and lives in Fremont, is not a suspect and has been fully cooperative with the investigation.

"I understand the stigma associated with this in my background, and I assure everyone it is not connected in any way to my daughter's disappearance," LaMar said in a statement Wednesday. "I ask that you please not shift the focus away from the investigation and from finding Sierra."

Prior to ruling out Steve Lamar as a person of interest in ANY of the happenings encompassing the disappearing of his daughter ... did investigators in the Sierra Lamar case failed to take into considering that one who for six years despicably steals the innocence of a child ... one who has the ability to command that child's silence for a total of eleven years is the definition of a master manipulator/deceiver.

RITA COSBY, GUEST HOST: We know that there are no suspects at this hour. No one`s named. But there`s something interesting in the father`s background. He`s got a conviction.

ELLIE JOSTAD, NANCY GRACE PRODUCER: Right. He does. And the sheriff`s department has confirmed this. We found records on this, as well. Her father is a registered sex offender.

COSBY: Wait, wait, wait! A registered sex offender? What happened?

JOSTAD: That`s correct. This is an incident actually going from 1998 to 2004.

COSBY: Wait, wait, wait! An incident? That sounds like repeated incidents.

JOSTAD: A continued -- right, continuing incident. He was actually charged with 12 counts of lewd or lascivious behavior with a child under 14. He pled no contest...

COSBY: This is Sierra`s father?

JOSTAD: Correct. This is her father. He pled guilty to one of those counts. He served under a year in jail for it. He is now required to register as a sex offender. He does appear on the registry.

Interesting, Janet.  And thought-provoking. 

More info that when put side by side with other info we've gotten... do not match up. 

Example is regarding Sierra's father, Steve. 
From reports upthread, one 'could' surmise that Steve is a RSO because he supposedly fondled a friend of one of his daughters during a slumber party.  Seemingly, a 'one-time-thing'. 
Yet apparently, from the NG transcript above, we see there supposedly was an ongoing-incident for 6 years.
Wondering if the 6-year-long-incident began with or included the slumber-party-incident?
And he only gets a year in prison. 

Considering what you just posted about, above..... really makes me wonder why the heck it seems that Steve being a RSO is being down-played in Sierra's case.  Like an afterthought.  As if... oh yeah, well there was this one thing in his past.  It was MUCH more serious than that!  Regardless whether or not it had anything to do with Sierra's having gone missing.  Are they down-playing it, and if so, why??

Does anyone have a link to where Sierra's mother may have said that Sierra would never leave home without her cell phone charger?  This was pointed out at a different site online, but without a link backing it up.  So I'm looking for wherever that may have been said.

It's been reported upthread that her charger was at home, that she didn't take it with her that morning.   And if she supposedly always took it with her, this may be another indication that she didn't leave home that morning alive.  JMO.

Bothering me the most:

Looking at Sierra's tumblr account, it seems to me that there is an overall sense of sadness, preoccupation with sex, drugs, alcohol, etc... and not being 'heard', not being 'paid attention to', not 'believed', not 'cared for'.  Pics and words describing disappearing with no one caring until perhaps afterward.  All of that disturbing to me, in light of Sierra's having seemingly gone missing now.

I realize she is 15, a hard age for many.  And realize as well that much can be posted online that isn't a reality in one's own life, but just to fit in with others, and etc.   I also realize that SM sites can be used by teens and others alike to describe in pics etc what one truly feels, but cannot for whatever reason, put into words at home and/or with someone they love and trust. 

And then there are Sierra's angry tweets on Thursday night.  Would love to know what (if anything) was going on in her life that last night, which may have led to such angry tweets.  Were those angry tweets in Sierra's own words?  Reflecting her own thoughts/feelings?  Or were they just more lyrics to songs kids her age listen to?  Just some thoughts rolling around in my mind.

And that posted before I was ready.  lol  Not liking this laptop, it has a mind of it's own! 

Adding to my previous post of what is bothering me the most...

And finally, I'd like to hear some explanation, or an attempt, by Sierra's mother for the difference between Sierra's tumblr account, her 'angry' tweets the night before she went missing.... and... Sierra's mom's own words that "everything is good".  Quite a discrepancy there, IMO.
