Yes, who is this Sinclair person? Thanks Klaas for moving this.

[klaasend]

can someone do a search on the license plates and get their names? they wouldn't tow cars away unless they had some idea that the vehicle was involved somehow or the owner of the vehicle?

There are new developments in the disappearance of an 8-year-old girl in Tracy. Police are questioning two men and searching six different sites, including locations outside the girl's neighborhood.

Sandra Cantu was last seen late Friday afternoon in the mobile home park where she lives. Tracy Police say they're questioning two men who live in the Orchard Estates mobile home park.

A caravan of crime scene trucks and a flatbed tow truck entered the mobile home park around 8 p.m. Monday night. Tracy Police say they obtained search warrants for six locations including four mobile homes in the park, one undisclosed location in Tracy, and another in Oakdale. Police say the two men being questioned have lived in the park for several years and their names were mentioned among the more than 250 tips police received.

"We're looking for evidence that would lead to the discovery of Sandra's whereabouts. Evidence has been collected. I cannot list it until the warrant has been returned to the judge and then it will be up to the judge if we can release the information that's contained in the warrant and all of the items are returned," said Sgt. Tony Sheneman, from the Tracy Police Department.

The family of 8-year-old Sandra Cantu did not attend Monday night's vigil, which took place just about 50 yards from where investigators were combing the four homes. Earlier Monday, Sandra's mother told a national cable news show, that police came to the house and asked for Sandra's belongings. They took her chap stick, a brush, a toothbrush, and pillow cases.

Also on Monday night, at Jacobsen Elementary, where Sandra is a second grader, parents asked police questions. Many of them came to pick their children up from school instead of allowing them to ride the bus home.

Again, Tracy Police have issued search warrants to six locations including four homes in the park and they're questioning two men who live here, but still, no sign of 8-year-old Sandra Cantu.
There is a $7,000 reward to find the girl, but police still aren't calling this case an abduction.

Man who police say interfered with search arrested

The arrest of the 49-year-old Orchard Estates resident was 'unrelated to the investigation' of the missing Sandra Cantu, 8.

A man was arrested, cited and released Monday on suspicion of interfering with police as officers searched for clues about Sandra Cantu, the 8-year-old Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park resident that disappeared Friday.

Orchard Estates resident Christian Sinclair, 49, was taken to the Tracy police department, arrested, fingerprinted, photographed, cited and released on the misdemeanor charge, said Sgt. Tony Sheneman, police spokesman.

 
Sheneman said Sinclair verbally badgered agents and officers as they searched a mobile home, Sheneman said. His arrest is “unrelated to the investigation” of the girl’s disappearance, the spokesman said.

Police searched four mobile homes in the park, a building in Tracy and another in Oakdale, police announced. What they found remains undisclosed, and the FBI is analyzing evidence, Sheneman said.

Sheneman would not say whether Sinclair is one of two “persons of interest” police have identified as the investigation into Sandra’s disappearance intensifies.

One of the two people of interest is a man named Chris Sinclair. FBI agents arrested him at his house Monday night on an unrelated matter. He says when it comes to the disappearance of Sandra Cantu, he is an innocent man.

Sinclair sat on his steps Tuesday, still dazed from his ordeal when FBI agents showed up at his house armed with search warrants and arrested him. He says he does not understand why.

"I actually had a couple of drinks. I was upset about all this stuff going on. I really don't know," he said.
"This person was interfering with the execution of the search warrant and was arrested for interfering and obstructing justice," explained Sgt. Tony Sheneman.

Sinclair told ABC7 he was held for a couple of hours.
"I got back here, noticed that both my cars were gone& I don't know. We're normally quiet people," he said.
Neighbors say just a half block away from Sinclair's house there was a lot of activity at a different house, when FBI agents swooped in.

"I didn't see anything they were taking out of the house. It was all covered in boxes and stuff. They towed the cars and everything," said witness Brandon Baughman.

Wayne Wallace has lived in the mobile home park for 25 years and says the disappearance of Sandra Cantu is taking a toll on residents. He told ABC 7 everyone seems to be scared.
"We had a vigil here last night with everybody trying to calm everybody down, but yeah they're nervous," he said.
With all the drama unfolding at the mobile home park, Sandra Cantu's family continues living in shock. Sandra's mother, grandmother and siblings can only wait and plead for her return.

"Whoever has her, just let her go. She needs to come home to her mom who loves her very much, misses her," said her mother Maria Chavez.

Tracy police say the investigation will go wherever the evidence seized Monday night takes it. The FBI was busy analyzing that evidence Tuesday morning.

Thanks, I thought so, but wasn't completely certain.

so confilicting reports on this Sinclair guy....    

conflicting in the respect that they said that he was arrested for an unrelated manner? then why did they tow both his cars?
I think that the police are onto something...does this Sinclair guy have an arrest record? age? anything else that anyone knows about him? was he friends/relative to the people living in the other house where activity also was going on last night?
