ABC7’s @_Dean_Johnson said the Sierra LaMar case can be prosecuted if the body is not found because of scientific advancements in DNA ID.

One of the previous assaults possibly tied to the suspect in the Sierra LaMar case was in the parking lot of the Safeway where he worked.

I was able to listen to most of the press conference, from what the Sheriff said Sierra's asthma medication must have also been found in her purse?

 
I just hope they find her. 

They may be able to prosecute him without a body, but I'd feel better about it if they had it.  If he's the one, I want them to have everything to make sure there is no way he walks the streets again.

Prayers for strength and comfort for Sierra's family and all of those who love her.  an angelic monkey

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.

Arrest made in Sierra LaMar kidnapping and murder


<snipped>

Smith also revealed that Garcia-Torres has been linked by DNA to at least one of three sexual assaults in the Morgan Hill area in March 2009.

The Santa Clara County Sheriff said Garcia-Torres was linked to the disappearance not only by his red Jetta, but also by DNA evidence found in LaMar’s abandoned backpack and other evidence found in the car.

Garcia-Torres had been arrested for a prior felony assault and while he was prosecuted, his DNA was entered into a database.

Garcia-Torres attended a Morgan Hill continuation school, Central High School. He lives in a trailer park in the city with his mother, wife and 18-month-old child, neighbors said. Several "Missing" fliers of Sierra are taped around the park, including one on a lamp post 25 yards from Garcia-Torres' home.

The Garcia-Torres property is strewn with garbage, baby strollers and sippy cups.

The suspect's mother, Laura Torres, arrived home from her night shift as a nurse at a convalescent home to find reporters waiting near her trailer.

She said she spoke to her son Monday night and was distraught about his arrest.

"He said, 'Don't worry about me, mom. I am going to be OK,' " Torres said. "I told my son, 'Well, if you didn't do it, you don't have anything to worry about.' "

She added, "He would say, "Mom, I have never seen that lady,' " referring to Sierra.

Torres said her son was "always quiet, always respectful, always close to me. It is unbelievable that this is happening to him. I feel like all of this is wrong. ... What parent wants to believe their son did something wrong?"

Garcia-Torres' father is in jail in Santa Clara County and his brother recently died in Mexico after a life of drinking and drug abuse, Torres said.

Elizabeth Ruano, 19, who lives in the trailer next door, said police had searched the property a few weeks ago.

She said Garcia-Torres and his family are quiet and keep to themselves. However, that was not the case with Garcia-Torres' previous home.

Before moving to the trailer park, Garcia-Torres and his family were thrown out of a Morgan Hill farmhouse in the summer of 2010 for keeping pit bulls on the property and allowing non-tenants to stay there, their landlord said. She spoke on condition of anonymity, saying she feared for her safety.

"They were the nightmare that never ended," the landlord said.

Garcia-Torres has a misdemeanor conviction for "interfering with an officer" and a separate felony arrest for assault, for which he was not prosecuted, the sheriff said.

Garcia-Torres is believed to be linked to a 2009 assault in Morgan Hill, Smith said. She did not specify whether that was the case in which he was arrested

"He may have believed he was under surveillance," Smith said. "We talked to him multiple times.''

In fact, Laura Torres, Garcia-Torres' mother, confirmed that she and her son were aware that they were being watched starting about two months ago. She said GPS devices were found under both of their cars.

Garcia-Torres called her overnight after his arrest. "He said 'Mom, be strong. I need you strong' " to help take care of his wife and child.

After investigators took his Jetta, Torres said she asked her son if he had anything to do with the case. "He said 'I've never seen that lady, I've never made contact with her.' "

The Natalee Holloway Case - The Abetting of Joran

Transcript: Van der Sloots Speak
Published June 23, 2005


<snipped>

ANITA VAN DER SLOOT, JORAN VAN DER SLOOT'S MOTHER: Joran is a very outgoing person. He's a sweetheart.  To me, he's very warm. We spend Easter vacation in Florida together to visit his school, and we had a lot of fun together, went to Busch Gardens (search), and he was getting me cups of coffee and making jokes. He's very outgoing, loving, caring, fights with his brothers all the time, but I think that's pretty normal. We cannot get him out of bed in the morning to go to school, but once he's there, he's doing great. He got picked up on the morning of his graduation. He graduated with honor, all As and Bs. He did some AP, advanced courses, physics, calculus, AP English.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, HOST: Any drug use or alcohol use by him?

ANITA VAN DER SLOOT: A hundred percent no. No. He is, like, Mom, I would not smoke or I would not use drugs because I am a sporter. I want to make something out of my future. If there would have been anything of that, I would have noticed. I'm a teacher. I work with kids between 12 and 18 years, the last 25 years. So you're used to so many things, problems that appear with your students. You're so alert. And I think you're even more alert with your own children.

It makes sense that Garcia-Torres was considering his every move.  After all ... he was questioned "multiple times" and ... GPS devises were found under two family vehicles.

Smith said from March 28 on, Garcia-Torres was under 24-hour surveillance, hoping they would find Sierra.  "He may have believed he was under surveillance," Smith said. "We talked to him multiple times.''

In fact, Laura Torres, Garcia-Torres' mother, confirmed that she and her son were aware that they were being watched starting about two months ago. She said GPS devices were found under both of their cars.

video of Antolin's Mom.  I don't know if this was posted or not.  I do not like any of his family...they are not in denial imo.  After that drug video I saw on his myspace and daddy in jail, brother dead from drugs and alcohol...I think they are full of crap period.

A look at some of the questions that remain in the alleged murder of Morgan Hill teen Sierra LaMar.

It appears that no investigator has provided Sierra's mother proof that her daughter is deceased.

Motive, Other Questions Surround LaMar Murder Suspect

Questions that Remain:

How do authorities know Sierra is dead?

Although Sierra is believed to be dead, authorities declined to release specific details about how the murder may have happened. They do not have a weapon associated with her murder, Smith said, and wouldn’t common on whether evidence was uncovered in Garcia-Torres’ home.

Sheriff Smith says Sierra LaMar is dead, Morgan Hill man is the killer

"Our investigation has led to the identification of Antolin Garcia-Torres as the person responsible for the kidnap and murder of Sierra LaMar," Smith said at a Tuesday morning press conference. "We developed this through our investigation based on direct and circumstantial evidence, including forensic analysis conducted by the Santa Clara County DA's crime lab."

<snipped>

Garcia spoke not long after Sierra's mother, Marlene, issued a plea to Garcia-Torres to tell authorities what he knows about the 15-year-old's fate. She said she still holds out hope that Sierra may be alive.

"We continue to pray until she is found," LaMar said. "Our search is not going to end. As a mother I'm hopeful. Her body has not been found and that gives me hope."

Authorities, though, said they are certain she is dead
and are hoping to get more information from the suspect that leads them to the body. Her mother, fighting back tears, asked Garcia-Torres to provide more information to investigators.

"I do have a plea to the perpetrator. Please give the information that you have to," Marlene LaMar said. "Lead us to Sierra and end this nightmare. Come forward and say where she is and end this nightmare for us as a family."
