15 YO Sierra Lamar Missing in Morgan Hill, CA Since 3/16/12 #1 3/17/12-

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...

Thanks, that is an interesting read!  And thank you for the info on Marlene's mom, I knew that but completely spaced it.

BMW?  It looks like an old Dodge Dynasty to me.

Excellent kippy! Good catch! 

Here's the pic:

So comparing the two:

Wow! I just realized that they are the same images. Same pic. One blurred and the other from the web. Look at the rear details.

Looks like it a 1980's.

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.

I'm thinking it's not the actual car, maybe just the same make and model of one they think could be suspect?

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.

i was just going to post about that,a friends kid says everyone does that online,twit,ect.
and everyone knows its prob BS,it gets a lot of LOL,among other BS

[bebecat]

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.

[yuknomenot]

Has to be, that's the only way it makes sense.  Be interesting to know who brought in the private investigator.

[sassifrass]

I'm thinking it's not the actual car, maybe just the same make and model of one they think could be suspect?

LOL! Well I figured that out.  I was just stating that the detectives gave her a pic from the web that MAY be the same as the possible car that took Sierra. Sorry if I came across differently. 

I'll go back to the rafters.

You're fine!  No need to go to the rafters!  Stay down here with us, you might miss something up there!   

I've been surfing all over the place, so I'm sorry if I said anything that offended, I really haven't paid close attention to all the posts...and didn't mean anything by what I said.

I know the family has been given at least two substantial donations, so I'm thinking they've probably hired them, but I don't know that for a fact.

Having teenage nieces/nephews, and kids of friends on my facebook...I used to be in shock when I would read their posts...then I discovered that 80% of their posts were lyrics to rap songs!

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!

I'm a fan now! — with ThuyHien Nguyen.
