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.

By 1:00 p.m. 471 people had registered to search on this day alone, bringing the three day total to 1,366 searchers. Today we had sent out 41 search teams and had extended the search radius to more than eight miles from ground zero. We talked briefly about the ever stronger relationship with law enforcement and how responsive they had become anytime that a potential clue was reported. All in all I was very proud of our volunteers.

Meet the real-life Barbies: Internet craze sees teenagers turn themselves into freakish living dolls

Young girls are fast becoming internet sensations not because of their vocal skills or dance moves, but because they resemble living dolls.

Staring doe-eyed at the camera, with cupids bow lips and a porcelain complexion Dakota Rose has been hailed a real-life Barbie.

Known to her fans as Kota Koti, she has amassed a global audience with her YouTube fashion and beauty tutorials. ::snipping2::

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.

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?

Is there affirmation that Sierra was the originator of the 6:29 AM tweet and the 7:11 AM text?

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,

March 28 (and numerous other days)

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.

Have we heard any more about this? Is it related to the Sierra case? 2 condoms probably means 2 people.

Here's the photo in question:



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.”

Police investigating the disappearance of California cheerleader Sierra LaMar are examining and empty handcuff box and two used condoms to determine whether they are key pieces of evidence.

The two items were found at the dead-end of a rural road within a two-mile radius of the teen’s Morgan Hills, Calif., home, Cardoza said

Marlene Lamar is required to communite 40 miles to her workplace in Fremont.  Considering Rick Gardiner's construction business in Morgan Hill ... why did he also leave the residence at 6:00 AM on the morning of March 16th?  Is that his normal departing time?

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.

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.

I stand with the girl, Natalee Holloway.

"I can look back over the past 10 years and there were no steps wasted, and there are no regrets,'' she said. "I did all I knew to do and I think that gives me greater peace now." "I've lived every parent's worst nightmare and I'm the parent that nobody wants to be," she said.
